I graze my thumb over the back of Kaelyn’s knuckles. She’s staring at me with those sultry brown eyes that can suck me in and hold me as tight as a boa constrictor squeezing its prey. Her lips inch up.

Makes her eyelids drop to half-mast.
She’s stunning.
Far more beautiful than any woman has a right to be.
