shoulder as he tenderly caressed it with his thumb. “How long do we have until this ball?” she whispered. Her heart was now racing at seeing the hunger in his eyes.
    “Two weeks; and I’m confident you will be proficient with your dancing skills long before then,” he said in a lower, raspy voice before he placed a soft kiss on her shoulder. When Levi’s eyes returned to hers they were dark with desire, instantly entrancing her.
    His eyes pierced through her. “You are so incredibly beautiful,” he said hoarsely.
    Levi slowly lowered his face closer to hers, and his expression sent butterflies swarming in her stomach. When his lips were close to her neck, he closed his eyes and inhaled deeply. His mouth gently claimed the side of her neck. Reece reacted as if she had never been kissed by him before. She tilted her head back, offering more of her neckline to Levi, and he eagerly accepted her invitation. One of Levi’s knees slid underneath her legs as he positioned himself to lean further into her, tenderly kissing the base of her throat and under her chin. Her eyes closed in utter satisfaction as his soft yet powerful lips lovingly caressed her hot flesh. She massaged her fingers through his damp hair, encouraging him for more.
    As Levi pursued her collarbones with lingering kisses, Reece ran her hands under his shirt and up along is warm, muscular sides. Levi groaned softly and brought his eyes back to hers. The light of the fire flickered in his dark, smoldering irises as he gazed deeply into hers. She ran her hands up his back, seized his sturdy shoulders, and let her lips linger at the base of his throat. Levi’s mouth parted slightly as he closed his eyes and moaned in response to Reece actively kissing and tasting of his intoxicating flesh.
    With the warmth the fire had created in the room, and this being the first time Reece had ever tasted of his rich fragrance she loved so much, Reece became wild with desire for more. Levi remained perfectly still, only low groans escaping him, while she continued to pursue his tantalizing skin. She ran her hands along his sturdy back. “My love,” she whispered, as her lips tenderly tugged at his earlobe.
    “Reece—” he replied breathlessly, obviously as taken by this moment as she was.
    She brought her mouth back to his, needing to feel his lips on hers. He kissed her with more passion than before. He ran his hands through her hair, gripping it tightly as he kissed down the center of her chest, and then ran a blazing trail of fire along the daring neckline of her dress. Reece closed her eyes, completely consumed by the pleasurable sensations of Levi avidly kissing her.
    It was not long before his lips were hungrily on hers again, sending Reece’s heart rate soaring. She moaned softly in response, and couldn’t be more grateful for this sudden thunderstorm that gave her this moment with Levi. Time appeared to have stopped, and Reece had no idea how long they remained in this delicious kiss, before Levi slowly withdrew from her.
    Reece sighed softly while Levi grinned at her. He kissed her tenderly on her lips. “You, Reece Bryant, are most fortunate that the rain has let up, or I would insist upon you becoming my wife tonight,” he finished with a laugh.
    Reece smiled as she caressed his cheek. “I wouldn’t have a problem with that.”
    As Reece’s better judgment slowly began to return, she sat up and glanced out the windows. The sun was shining brightly on the wet grass, making it appear as though thousands of diamonds had been thrown out into it. Just when I thought this place couldn’t get any more majestic. She looked over at Levi, who was lounging on his side, running his fingertips along her arm. As tempting as it was to maneuver her way back into his arms, she realized that it would probably be a better idea to start preparing for this ball that was two weeks away.
    She pulled her sleeve back over her shoulder and laughed when Levi frowned in
