wondered just what was there about her that elicited such profound lust from him. He decided it could be a number of things, like her walk. She moved in a way that looked more like she was actually gliding than walking. But then it may have been the gentle sway of her voluptuous hips, or the bouncy fullness of her large breasts. Whatever it was, she definitely had his attention.
He sighed; fascinated by the way the early morning light captured her nut-brown features and her full figure. She was wearing a pair of jogging shorts and a large T-shirt, but neither could block from his mind the allurement of the body they covered. Her hair was pinned up in a knot like it had been yesterday. And he knew he would be tempted to let it down and run his fingers through each dark, thick and glossy strand.
He felt his body harden. Just that quickly he wanted her with a desperation that no longer surprised or annoyed him. And to be quite honest, it no longer bothered him that he lacked control where she was concerned. After all, she was seductive and enticing, and his body appreciated everything about her. But this morning he had taken necessary measures, since his body seemed to have a mind of its own. Instead of wearing running shorts as he normally did, he had worn loose-fitting sweats. They did a good job of not flagrantly revealing a certain body part.
He glanced down at his watch. She was early. But then, he thought with a smile, so was he. He wondered if that meant they had been eager to see each other. He breathed in the early morning air. It was a perfect morning, he thought, because the person he considered the perfect woman was less than five feet away.
“Good morning, Jordan.”
“Good morning, Dominique.” Up close he couldn’t help but appreciate her features that were contained in the round shape of her face. Her mouth was curved into a warm smile, and delicately arched eyebrows crowned a pair of the most beautiful dark eyes he had ever seen. Then there were her high cheekbones and straight nose. Everything about her totally disarmed him.
“Are you ready to run?” she asked expectantly.
Jordan thought that her low and throaty voice was hot enough to warm his blood. And she was staring up at him with eyes so captivating it nearly took his breath away to look into them. His gaze then slowly moved from her eyes to her mouth, and he couldn’t help but remember just how good that mouth had tasted.
“No, not yet,” he finally answered, taking her hand in his.
He had chosen this particular spot to meet her because the limbs of the huge oak tree blocked from view anyone standing directly under it. Dominique offered no resistance when he gently pulled her under the shadows of a large overhanging branch.
“First, I’ve got to taste you again,” was all he said just seconds before his mouth came down on hers.
Dominique automatically lifted her arms around Jordan’s neck the moment his lips touched hers. He captured her tongue and drew it into his mouth. Blood gushed to her head, making her feel dizzy as his tongue began mating with hers. Urgent need raced up her spine and clouded her senses except for two – taste and smell. She was mesmerized by his delicious taste and entranced by his masculine scent.
They broke off the kiss when they heard the approach of other joggers. Panting, Dominique leaned against Jordan to get her breath back and wondered if she would ever breathe normally again. When the joggers passed she glanced up at him, her expression dazed and her lips still parted. “I can’t believe we just did that,” she whispered, speaking of their torrid, stolen kiss that still had her head spinning.
He took a deep breath and responded, “When it comes to you and me, I can believe anything.” He released his arms from around her waist. “Come on, let’s start jogging.”
Dominique took another deep breath and shook her head. “I don’t think I can, since I have no breath left. You took my
