a blinding grin.
    Oh God. He's just so beautiful.
    He stood up and sauntered towards her. "Really?" he asked as he stopped behind her. "What kind of dessert?" His breath was tantalisingly warm against her ear.
    Faye went from moist to wet, her body reacting deliciously to him. "Mr. Thackery, you'll have to wait to find out." She whirled around and pushed him away playfully. "Now be a good boy and go back to your seat so I can feed you dinner. The way you're behaving, you won't get anything."
    "Okay, sorry. I promise to be good while you cook . " His smile was unrepentant.

    "Let me help you with the dishes."
    Ray took their plates to the sink, rinsed them and loaded them in the dishwasher as Faye transferred the leftovers to a smaller container and put them in the fridge.
    "Where did you learn to cook like that?" Her food was so tasty it distracted him somewhat from his other physical hunger, which said a lot about how good their meal was.
    "My mum is a wonderful cook and she taught me from when I was little. Plus, I love cooking. Even when I'm by myself, I try to experiment with new recipes."
    "It was better than the food I get from my regular Thai place."
    "Yes, you told me that already," she chuckled. "Thank you for the compliment."
    "No. Thank you ."
    Now that dinner was finished, nothing was diverting Ray's mind from his other unfulfilled need. He was so goddamn aroused throughout dinner that it took all his willpower to refrain from grabbing and kissing her. She pushed him close to the breaking point when she lightly touched his arm to ask how he liked the curry, or when she accidentally brushed her knee against his thigh when she got up to get water from the fridge or when she innocently licked the sauce that dripped on her fingers. The only thing that stopped him from lifting her off her chair and laying her on floor was knowing she went to so much trouble to cook for him - and the fact that her dishes were absolutely mouth-watering.
    He strode towards her, not taking his eyes off her lovely face. He cupped the back of her neck and devoured her mouth. She tasted sweet, spicy and delectably Faye. Heated blood rushed to his groin, making him harder than he'd ever been, as she moaned and pressed her soft body against his muscular one. He snaked his arms around her, trapping her, never wanting to let her go.
    "Well, I think you've been really good all throughout dinner," she murmured as his lips moved to her earlobes. "Do you want your special dessert now?" She ground her pelvis against his and undid a button on his shirt.
    Holy fuck. Faye for dessert. "Yes, please," he rumbled and hungrily nipped the skin below her ear, her scent intoxicating him even more.
    She gave a low, sexy laugh. "Okay." She got out of his embrace, took his hand and led him to the couch. She pushed him down to a sitting position and brought her face inches from his. "Why don't you turn the TV on while I plate it up? You'll like it. It's my special cherry cheesecake."
    What? He grabbed her wrist and pulled her onto his lap. "But I thought …"
    Her grin was teasing. "You thought what?"
    He narrowed his eyes at her. She was toying with him. Probably to get back at him for not taking things all the way during their last date. Well, two can play this game.
    With a liquid motion that made Faye's eyes widen with surprise, he had her lying on her couch with him on top.
    "I got the impression I was having something else for dessert," he rasped as he rained butterfly kisses on her beautiful face.
    She giggled breathlessly. "What did you think we were having?" she persisted.
    In response, he pushed her dress off her shoulders, just far enough to reveal the creamy swell of her breasts without exposing her nipples. He ran his lips on her bared skin, licking and nipping as he went along.
    "Ray," Faye gasped. She clutched his hair and arched her back, bringing her chest closer to him.
    "So how good is this special cheesecake of yours?" he murmured as he
