Clay lowered his body down to her right side. “Smells girly in here too. Like you. Like roses and lemons?”
“Didn’t you know? All women have to burn candles periodically. It’s part of our handbook.”
“Really? Can’t say I did know. Do you have a copy of this handbook? You know. For science.”
Julia shrugged. “Maybe I ruined our secret. No written copies available for men.”
“Maybe you did.” He stared at her, his gaze roving across her body. “So you want to watch a movie or something?”
His blood was humming, his pulse racing. He hoped hers was too.
“A movie? Sure. Perfect.” She flipped the TV on, settling on the first movie she saw, some random comedy. “This one okay?”
His gaze locked on her. “Perfect.”
“Yep. Perfect.” She glanced down at her hands in her lap.
It was time to make a move. “So can I?” He scooted even closer as he ran the pad of his thumb over her bottom lip, her skin hot beneath his fingers.
She blinked. “Can you what?”
“Kiss you?” He hovered, almost touching her lips with his. But he waited.
“Please.” She took a ragged breath before he slid his hand to the back of her neck, pulling her even closer to him, his gaze locked with hers. He took his time, kissing her like she was a fine wine, something to savor. Like he was a drowning man and the only oxygen was through her.
