close to her ear. “From where I’m standing it looks like a wonderful posterior to kiss.”
    She flushed at his words and warmth spread through her. Loki propelled them forward and he was so light on his feet she felt her fears slip away. Together they performed simple moves that made her laugh. When he moved away and let her skate on her own, Vivi felt herself losing balance but before she slipped and fell, Loki was there to catch her. Then in a flourish, he kissed and dipped her while they moved across the ice.
    Vivi looped her arms around his neck when he brought her to her feet. “Take me home, Loki, and make love to me.”
    He gave a soft groan. “Vivienne, you know the type of person I am. Why would you want to be with me?”
    “Because I realize now you are much more than the sum of some words in a book,” Vivi replied. “I see the man who can bring magic back into the lives of children. I want you and I get what I want, Loki.”
    His lips parted in a smile. “Really?”
    “Take me home and find out,” Vivi said against his lips.
    “I have a place for you to see, a place you will love,” he said and pulled her closer to him.
    She heard the pop and felt the pull and wondered if their disappearance from the middle of the ice rink caused a stir, but Loki’s kiss caused her to lose her train of thought. When she opened her eyes they were in a room with a black marble bathtub. Steam curled sensually from the water while she could see the New York skyline through the glass windows. Looking through the bathroom door, she saw that a large bed covered in black satin also graced the opulent room.
    “Where are we?” Vivi asked. “Everything is so beautiful and the view is amazing.”
    “The penthouse my family owns. This room was my own renovation, so to speak,” Loki said. “But nothing in here compares to you. I can’t keep my eyes off you.”
    “Loki, when you kiss me, I forget how to breathe. It feels like fire runs in my veins.” She rested her head against his chest.
    “God, you make me feel like I’m something better, like I can be a better man.” Loki trailed his lips down her neck. “For now, I’ll be that man even if it’s only for a little while.”
    She wanted to tell him that he was always that man to her and always would be, but his hands on her body made her gasp and forget what she was going to say. Loki trailed his hands down her sweater and cupped her breasts. Even though his touch was through the sweater, the fire that always seemed to be simmering in her stomach burst into a full flame, and she molded her body hard against his. Vivi combed her fingers through his long hair and ran her nails over his scalp. Loki shuddered. She loved knowing her touch did that to him. His response made her bold, and her kiss became wanton. She delved her tongue into his mouth and Loki growled before taking over the kiss. He fisted his hands in her hair while he devoured her mouth. His hands were deft and stripped her clothes and underwear from her body before working on his own attire. Loki lifted her into his arms and walked them both into the warm bubbling water. The combination of the warm water plus his mouth roaming her skin made her whimper.
    She could taste the chlorine from the water on his shoulder as she bit him gently. Loki muttered her name before wrapping his arms around her waist and propelled her backward quickly. The water jets that frothed between her legs and then all around them made her gasp in delight.
    “Did the sensation excite you?” Loki asked devilishly before trailing his lips across her cheek and down her neck, nipping at the tender skin.
    “Yes, but I can feel your hardness and that is what I really want,” Vivi practically purred. To prove what she was saying, she ground her hips against the object of her desire until he muttered something in a language she didn’t understand.
    “I want you, please, Loki,” she whispered.
    He slipped his hand between them and
