cheek, caressing it so very lightly. Then she leaned up and whispered in his ear. “Are you real? Or did I conjure you?”
    Conjure, that was a word his mother used. He didn’t take the time to analyze the implications. “Oh, I’m real baby. Would you like to pinch me and find out?”
    A rosy blush rose from her neck and enveloped her cheeks. “Yes.” The one word answer hung between them. Desire was so thick it could have been cut with a knife.
    Much to Eric‘s surprise, she picked up his hand and caressed the palm. Her touch was saying ‘take me’, but her words were saying something else. “I am so sorry; I never meant to hurt you. Was that woman your girlfriend? If you will go get her, I can explain. I can fix this.”
    Eric didn’t want her to fix this. What he wanted; was her. But he didn’t intend for anymore of his business to be public knowledge. He whispered where only she could hear. “I need to talk to you. Now. In private.” She seemed to hesitate. “I want to do things to you that no one else needs to see. If you don’t want to shock every person in this room, I would suggest you get us to some place more secluded. Now.” His voice was much gruffer than he intended it to be. His passion was running extremely high.
    Eric had never felt so turned on in his entire life. The crowd was dead quiet. They were all straining to hear any word that passed between them. Everyone was aware that Eric McAllister was standing face to face with the woman who seemed to have an intimate knowledge of his body and was brave enough to declare it to the world. She hadn’t moved, so Eric took the initiative. He grasped her hand and led her off to one side and into a conference room, slamming the door behind them. Clenching his hands into tight fists, he fought to keep his hands off of her. But she looked so upset, he stepped back and waited, watching her, giving her time to compose herself.
    “You have every right to be angry. I should have thought this through; there are always consequences to our actions. I’ve manipulated your life. Can you ever forgive me?” Closing her eyes, she seemed to be trying to regain control. “I know I owe you an explanation, but you probably don’t want to hear anything I have to say. Suffice it to say, that I am deeply sorry to have caused a problem for you and your girlfriend.”
    He had no idea what she was talking about – he liked her kind of manipulation. “She’s not my girlfriend, not anymore, sweetheart.” He couldn’t stop looking at this beautiful woman. “How did you know what I look like naked, who gave you the photograph?” He didn’t really care; he just wanted to watch her lips form the words as she answered him.
    “I didn’t have a picture, I…I had a dream about you. God, that sounds stupid, doesn’t it?”
    She was aware of the dreams? Instantly, his cock sprang to attention, sat up and began to beg . Eric wrestled with the possibilities . They both connected in the dream. What he was considering was impossible, wasn’t it? Hell, if he knew. All he was sure of was that he wanted this woman, as soon as he could get her naked, ready and in position. So for right now, he decided to play innocent and see what happened. Damn, she was making his mouth water. “It must have been some dream, considering that second piece - Rapture - that was you wasn’t it? The woman with her legs wrapped around my waist, the one that was riding my . . . .”
    She jumped in before he could say ‘cock’. “Yes, that was me. And I know that was unforgivable.” Eric was amazed to watch this beautiful woman blush, eyes dropping, unable to maintain the heated gaze they were sharing. Then she delighted him. “I should never have put my fantasies on display like that. It’s just that I’ve waited for you for so long. Please forgive me for embarrassing you.”
    Embarrass him? Was she kidding? She had single handedly salvaged his reputation and bolstered his sagging ego - all
