“I would love some wine. Where is it? I’ll get it.”
Liza smiles and nods towards the refrigerator. She walks over to the oven and opens the door. She grabs the small loaf of bread.
“I made the bread at lunch time. It’s not hot, but it is fresh.”
She grins, and walks over to the table. She takes a seat on the seat and watches him take a seat. The soft sound of rain hits the window. The stew hits the spot.
Andrei pours the wine into the crystal wine glasses that glow with the light.
“Liza, let’s cheer for this amazing dinner!”
Andrei takes a drink of the fine wine, looking at her soft rose blush. He squints his eyes to take in the soft rose aura glowing around her.
“Yes, this is amazing.”
Liza takes a drink, feeling Andrei’s warm spicy vanilla scent flood her senses.
Andrei’s stomach growls and he laughs, shaking his head. He takes the spoon and scoops some stew onto it. He takes a few spoonfuls, looking at Liza’s pleased face.
“I love it, Liza. It really is the best I’ve tasted. Tell me about you.” He watches her closely, absorbing every detail.
The chill of the night seeps into the apartment. Liza shivers and looks out the window at the street lights. Her eyes shine and she turns to smile at him.
“I’m going to put the fireplace on.”
She jumps from the seat a little relaxed from the wine. She opens the screen door to the fireplace.
Andy follows her and takes the log.
“Allow me to start the fire.”
He grins. He glances over at her, gazing into her eyes.Oh damn, I need to ask her the questions, but I’m fallingfurther under her spell.
“Tell me about you.”
“Andy, I’m not interesting. I spend my time taking care of Sofia Rose. I’m her gardian.”
She smiles, not thinking about the fact that she’s opening up to him.
“What do you do?”
Huh, guardian? I’ll ask her later.
Andrei smiles, poking at the fire. He closes the screen door and leans in to softly kiss her rose lips. His hands rest on her shoulders, pulling in closer.
Oh damn, I can’t fight her. I want to taste her. I want her.
He takes her lips and sinks his eager tongue into her hot mouth, kissing her deeply.
Liza moans, and slides her arms around his waist. She returns his hungry kiss, forgetting everything.
Oh yes, he’s simply devine. I can’t resist him. I will not because I’ve never felt this before.
The large window in the office is slightly open and a breeze blows into the room. The October moonrays beam into the office, carressing Sofia Rose as she works on the accounts.
“I can’t believe how many accounts have been bridged. I understand Mr. Bartz’s anger. It still sucks that he refused to listen and to accept my resignation! Who the hell does he think he is? He’s damn fucking arrogant! Gorgeous! My heart’s desire.”
Sofia Rose looks at the time and shrugs. She raises her arms up to take off the scrunchie from her hair.
