“I am measuring you for size.”
He showed her one cupped hand, while the other hand squeezed slightly, his palm teasing her nipple. A trembling thrill raced through her.
“You didn’t have to measure me for the little harem outfit yesterday.”
Her voice came out breathless. She forced herself not to lean into his hand, not to pull his other hand back to her other breast and arch against him.
“I created that on you, so it created itself to your curves. From your reaction yesterday, I assume you would prefer to put these clothes on yourself.”
“Yes, I would.”
He measured the circumference of her ribcage by wrapping his hands around her. He winked, then blinked, and a lacy black bra with a front-opening clasp appeared on her pile of clothing, on top of the thong.
“You’re teasing me, aren’t you?”
He laughed.
She smiled. She liked his laugh. And the little crinkles around his eyes. Surrendering to the staggering challenge of his nearness, she reached out to touch his cheek. The glittering sparks of amusement in his eyes turned to smoldering heat.
His arms slid around her, and he gathered her close. Trying to still the wild pounding of her heart, she lifted her lips and he kissed her. Tender. Arousing. Unsettling. When their lips parted she rested her head on his chest, soaking in the warmth and closeness.
He stroked her hair behind her ears. “Breakfast awaits, my love.”
She eased away and smiled. “Okay, I’ll get dressed now.”
He walked back to the table and poured a cup of tea from a teapot of delicate-looking china covered with blue rosebuds. He added a little sugar and some milk.
How did he know her favorite breakfast? And how did he know she liked tea, and what she took in it? She’d just bet it was blackcurrant, too.
“Do you read my mind?”
He glanced her way.
“No, I would not be so intrusive. I used my magic to find out only what anyone who paid attention might know about you.”
“I see.”
She didn’t ask how closely such a person would have to pay attention. She picked up the black bra. Glancing back at Zurvan, she noticed he now sat at the table and sipped a cup of tea, watching her. She watched him back, waiting. He made no move to look away.
“I’m going to get dressed now,” she said.
“I know.” He smiled.
She hesitated, then realized he’d seen every inch of her. What was she embarrassed about? She was naked in broad daylight in front of the most incredibly sexy, handsome man she’d ever seen. He was perfect. She was less than perfect.
Sigh.Still, he’d seemed happy enough last night.
“Celeste, you have no reason to hide from my eyes.”
She tugged the sheets tighter to her body. “Youarereading my mind.”
“No, your face and the blush across your cheeks.”
He leaned back in his chair, stretching out his long, lean legs.
“I do not hand out false compliments, so believe me when I say you are the most beautiful woman I’ve ever seen.” He leaned forward. “I love looking at your incredibly sexy body.”
She stared at him, stunned. Heated masculine interest radiated from the dark depths of his eyes. Knowing he found her attractive emboldened her. She dropped the sheet to her waist. He stopped sipping. She took a deep breath, and his gaze intensified. The heat of it seared her breasts, making the nipples swell to rigid attention.
