It didn’t take him long to pick up on her curiosity and turned in the seat, his smile stretching over his teeth.
“I know you,” he said slowly, his accent thick and heavy, “don’t I?”
Kate nodded, trying not to grin like an idiot. “Yes,” she said. “We met outside the elevator in the hotel.”
The man frowned, bringing his dark eyebrows together. “Mmm,” he sighed. “I think I remember you falling into my arms?”
“That was me,” Kate said, feeling herself start to blush.
She couldn’t remember the last time a man had made her feel this way. Excited, nervous, even a little bit shy. Everything about him exuded confidence. The way he talked, the way he held himself in the seat, just the air around him.
It was intoxicating. Kate knew that it would be a bad idea to take this guy to bed. How much more trouble could she get herself in? But as her eyes drifted up and down his perfectly sculpted body, his muscles bulging even beneath his thick shirt, she couldn’t help but imagine letting her tongue run all over his skin.
Maybe I don’t have to take him to bed,she thought.Maybe we can go somewhere else.
Kate continued to eye fuck him without thinking twice about it. He was busy looking through the bus, waiting for the tour to start, not paying any attention to her.
That was fine with Kate. She was free to look at every inch of his face and his body as much as she liked. She could feel the saliva rushing into her mouth as if she were looking at a tasty snack. Her eyes drifted over his pecs, his abs, his arms. Everything she saw was perfection.
When the tour began, Kate was overly pleased that he leaned into her space to look out of their shared window. She was instantly intoxicated by his smell, a musty fragrance that floated up her nose and straight into her brain.
By the time the bus stopped, Kate felt like she had fallen into a frenzied dream. All she could think about was tearing off this man’s clothes and she didn’t even know his name yet.
People began to pile out slowly, bumping into one another as they hustled. Kate was confused. She hadn’t heard anyone say anything about a stop just yet but she had been too busy ogling the man beside her to know much of anything.
As everyone started to leave, Kate saw that he was staring at her. She looked into his brown eyes and frowned a little.
“May I ask your name?” He asked, a crooked smile edging onto his lips.
“Kate,” she answered instantly.
The man held out his hand for her to shake. “Marcus,” he said, rolling ther-sound. “Pleased to meet you.”
Kate shook his hand and smiled. “Likewise.”
A weight lifted off her shoulders now that she knew his name. He kept staring into her eyes as he rose from the seat, his head craning down to look at her. His smile never faltered.
“What’s going on?” Kate asked, watching as he collected his belongings.
“Lunch break,” he said. “You didn’t hear them announce it?”
Kate shrugged and shook her head. “Guess not.”
“Hm,” Marcus smiled knowingly. “I suppose it’s hard to concentrate when staring at a man’s chest.”

Kate felt her stomach drop through her body as the words circled around her head, bouncing off the inside of her skull. She could feel the blood rushing into her cheeks, causing her to flush, but luckily Marcus’s back was already turned to her.
He’d thrown his messenger bag over his shoulder and was walking down the aisle of the bus. Kate could see him smiling as he made his way out into the fresh air.
There was nothing else for her to do but climb off the bus herself. She was the last person on board. Everyone else could be seen outside the windows, stretching their legs and arms as they moved in front of the small cafe.
As Kate stepped outside, she realized that they were on top of a huge, grassy hill. A few trees were dotted around, but the most beautiful thing was the rolling landscape around her. Not all of it was covered in grass, but the land spread out in front of her for miles. The sun was beating down on her from above, lighting the entire world ahead of her.
She could hear people talking and laughing as they ordered their lunch. Kate considered joining in with the group to try and fit in, but she wasn’t hungry. Not for food, anyway.
A body stood a couple of feet away from her, the sound of the shoes crunching against the gravel. Kate looked over her shoulder to see Marcus there, a smirk on his lips.
