forehead.
    “But some artistic endeavors are both. This is a business. What I do involves multiple mediums that are evolving all the time.” She paused, so very close to him. Her eyes glittered with their passionate discussion, her chin jutted out a little. Defiant.
    God, he wanted her.
    And then he smelled her skin.
    “What perfume do you wear?”
    “My sister-in-law makes bath and body stuff. Soap, lotion, all that. She created a custom essential-oil blend for me. Several actually. This one is rose with a tiny bit of amber.” She laid her head to one side, exposing the line of her throat to him.
    Unable to resist, he leaned in and breathed her in. “I like it. It’s unique.”
    She turned her head but he didn’t move back.
    “You may have a point about art school.”
    He blinked, trying to clear his head. “What?”
    “You were going to say that. Right before you kissed me.”
    “You may have a point about art school. But I’m not going to kiss you.”
    Her nose scrunched up in a rather appealing way. “Why?”
    “Why?” he repeated, confused by the entire conversation.
    “Yes. Why aren’t you going to kiss me? You’re staring at my mouth. You’re sniffing me. I heard that whisper of a groan when you did, don’t think I didn’t. You want to kiss me, Gregori.”
    “I want a lot of things.”
    She laughed, leaning a little closer and still he didn’t move away. “You do. And you take them all. You have a need for instant gratification, Gregori. Cake. Champagne. The signs are all there.”
    Struck frozen by the sight of her there so very close, the rising scent of her skin as she heated up, he licked his lips. “I told you why the other night. It was a good kiss, I can’t deny that. But we are friends. It should stay that way. I don’t want to mess that up.”
    One of her brows slid up slowly.
    And then she licked her lips. Only not nervously like he had. Sensuously. Knowingly. This side of her was scorching hot.
    “You’re going to kill me.”
    “Then you should go out doing what you want to do.”
    “Should I? Well, that might…injure you.”
    Her laugh was different than her usual. Low, throaty. A full-on seductive sound and it stroked over his skin like a touch. “That sounds like something I’d enjoy.”
    He closed his eyes.
    She knew he was wavering. Knew his control was thinning. This called for some action or they’d never kiss or have sex or any of that fun stuff.
    “A year, Gregori.” She pressed a kiss to his shoulder. “A year you’ve flirted with me.” Another kiss at the hollow where shoulder met body. “You’ve looked at my boobs when you thought I didn’t notice.” His pulse thundered against her lips when she kissed his throat. “And then you laid a kiss on me. In the dark, pressing me against a wall in a nightclub.”
    She climbed into his lap and he drew a shaky breath.
    “I felt just how much you wanted me then.” She rolled her hips, grinding herself against his cock. “I feel it now. Question is, Gregori, do you enjoy me as much as you enjoy cake? And how can you know unless you take a taste?”
    She brushed her lips over his mouth and his eyes snapped open. “Indeed.”
    His muscles, which had been tense, loosened and then he pounced. He wrapped his arms around her, hauled her closer and kissed her.
    Kissed was a word she supposed. But it was more like he devastated. He took. He tasted and sipped and teased. He devoured her until she was breathless and her breath shaky.
    All from kisses.
    “More,” she whispered against his mouth.
    “You sure?” He picked her up and deposited her on the edge of his large table.
    She reached out and grabbed his cock, squeezing lightly to answer his question.
    He growled and stepped forward, standing between her legs. Busy hands undid her hair, his fingers tunneling through it, freeing it. He tightened his grip, pulling her back, kissing her throat. Licking. Nipping until she might have made a sound surprisingly similar
