beautiful blue eyes. “But why?”
    Conner pulled me closer to him so the front of our bodies brushed. His hands slid down my back, pressing me against him. Damn, that felt good.
    “Don’t you feel it? We have a connection.”
    Oh, I felt it alright, but I had a feeling that Conner was being poetic rather than literal.
    “I am extremely attracted to you, Conner, but I don’t think it’s smart to trust me so much after such a short time.”
    He grinned at me. “That alone is proof that you are trustworthy. Also, I may not be able to control your mind or your body but I can feel some of your emotions and impressions of your thoughts. I know that you feel the same pull I feel. You can’t deny it.”
    I scowled at him. “Is there anything else I should know about vampires?” I asked.
    Conner’s grin widened. “I thought you couldn’t handle any more information tonight?”
    “You’re right. I can’t deal with anymore tonight.” I rolled my eyes.
    Conner cupped the back of my head in one of his hands, tilting my face upward a bit more. He studied me with warm blue eyes.
    “Okay, I can see that you are overwhelmed. I will leave tonight, but I want to see you again.”
    Before I could object, he placed a finger over my lips. “Please don’t say no right away. Think for a day or two. I’ll call you.”
    I nodded.
    “Good. Now, please walk me to the door.”
    I followed Conner back through my small living room to the front door. Once we were there he didn’t open it immediately. Instead, he pulled me back into his arms. I rested my hands on his shoulders, confused.
    “What are you doing?” I asked.
    Conner gave my waist a gentle squeeze. “It isn’t a date without a goodnight kiss.”
    What? This had to have been the strangest date in history. It wasn’t horrible, just odd. Now he was talking about a goodnight kiss. I couldn’t decide whether I was looking forward to it or completely freaked out. Or both.
    While I was trying to make up my mind, Conner leaned forward. Before I could organize my thoughts, his mouth was on mine and I stopped thinking completely. Just like when he kissed me before, I felt all the strength drain out of my muscles. His tongue tangled with mine as his hands cupped my hips. A simple kiss suddenly seemed like an erotic dance as he moved against me. The muscles between my thighs clenched. God, he could kiss. I imagined what his tongue could do to other parts of my body and shivered.
    Conner groaned and pulled me even closer until I felt the hard length of his erection against my belly. My hands moved from his shoulders to his hair. I fisted both of them into the strands at the base of his neck. Suddenly he picked me up and pressed my back against the wall. I wrapped my legs around his waist. The spark between us exploded into an inferno. I sank my teeth into Conner’s bottom lip, tugging his hair.
    He lifted his head and hissed, but his hips stayed plastered to mine. I rocked against him. I felt hot, like my skin was on fire. While Conner followed my rhythm and continued that delicious friction, I flicked open the first few buttons of his shirt with shaking hands. The smooth, tan skin of his throat and upper chest was revealed. I leaned forward, touching my lips to his collarbone, then I used my teeth and tongue on the smooth skin of his throat.
    It had been way too long since I had sex. For a split second I felt like maybe I was the vampire. With the lust pouring through me, I wanted to eat Conner alive. I licked his neck, moving up to his ear. When I nipped the lobe, I could have sworn that he growled. Conner put both of his palms to my ass and yanked me away from the wall. As he carried me down the short hall to my bedroom, I fought with the rest of the buttons on his shirt.
    He set me on my feet next to the bed. Within seconds, Conner had unzipped my dress and it lay pooled at my feet. Dressed only in my silky pink panties and black bra, I struggled with his shirt. I yanked it
