“I’ll give you a rematch any day,” Micah said, smugly.
“Bring it.” Lucy laughed.
After dinner, Lucy invited Micah into her room. She had borrowed a chess board from room services.
“Let’s see how you do here,” she said.
“You know that men are always better at chess than women,” Micah replied, setting up his pieces.
Lucy beat Micah two out of three games.
“What do you have to say for yourself now?” Lucy taunted.
“I let you win. I would hate to have beaten you at two events in one day,” Micah said. “I wouldn’t want you to feel bad about yourself.”
Lucy laughed and said, “You are much too competitive to let anyone beat you on purpose. I know that you will be licking your wounds for a week over this.”
“I get a consolation prize,” Micah said.
“You do, huh?” Lucy said. “You’ve already had dinner and dessert. What else do you want?”
He put his hand on her face, leaned in close, and said, “This.”

Lucy
Lucy closed her eyes when she felt Micah’s lips press against hers. At first, the touch was very gentle and delicate. Then, Micah moaned, and the kiss became more insistent. His tongue pressed against her, and she instinctively opened her mouth.
He explored her mouth, touching the top of her tongue and then the roof of her mouth. Their breaths mingled as Micah ran his fingers through her hair and then cupped the back of her head.
Lucy wrapped her arms around him, kneading his hard back muscles with her fingertips. She breathed in his scent, a combination of pine and fresh air that she had always associated with him.
Her heart thundered in her chest as Micah pulled away. He traced her swollen red lips as he stared into her eyes. The deep emerald of his own eyes seemed to peer into my soul.
“You are so beautiful,” he said.
“Thank you,” Lucy whispered, craving the feeling of his lips again.
He seemed to read her mind as he devoured her lips, claiming them. A warmth spread through her body as he continued to ravish her mouth with his.
Lucy moaned against his mouth as her entire body began to ache for more than just a kiss.
He gently nibbled on her top lip. Lucy’s lips parted as Micah traced them with his tongue. Her body tingled with anticipation.
Without thinking, Lucy slipped her hands under the t-shirt that was stretched tight across his chest and back. She ran her hands from the top of his shoulders down to his waist band and back up again, her fingertips tingling from the heat of his body.
Micah broke the kiss long enough to pull his shirt off and throw it on the floor.
Lucy had seen him without his shirt hundreds of times before, as they had often shifted and ran together. However, there was something different about it. This time, her fingers ached to explore the hard, tanned muscles of his chest.
She hesitantly reached toward him. Micah gently held her hands and placed them on his chest. Lucy slowly ran her hands over his muscles. She traced the smattering of dark brown hair that covered his hard pecs and led a trail down to his pant line. Lucy ran her hands over his arms, feeling his hard biceps and triceps.
Sucking in a huge breath, she said, “You are incredibly sexy.”
“Mmm. Glad you like it,” Micah replied, with that crooked sexy grin covering his face.
Lucy touched the side of his face and kissed his jawline, just below his ear. She traced his jaw line with tiny kisses. Micah moaned, but stayed still as she explored his face with her lips. She had always loved the contours of his face.
