 Excerpt

“Where’s Abby?”

 “She spent the night with a girlfriend from school. She’ll be home later tonight.”

 Ryan’s brows rose and his voice dipped seductively. “So it’s only you and me, huh? Want to get out of here and have some real adult entertainment?”

 “Why, Mr. Connor, are you reneging? I believe you promised to teach me to ice skate.”

 Ryan smiled. “Ice skating, it is then.”

 Although she’d seen snow and ice, she’d never skated before. She shivered in anticipation. After all, it was December in New York and she’d watched figure skating competitions on the telly before. But she’d never strapped a pair of thin blades to her feet and attempted to stand on them. She had to be honest with herself—it wasn’t just the excitement of ice skating. Casting a sideways look at Ryan, her heart fluttered. For the first time, she and Ryan would be spending time alone.

 Sitting on the bench next to him, she laced up her skates and glanced up to observe the skaters. Beginners were easily spotted, they hugged along the edge. More experienced skaters moved along at a nice pace enjoying themselves. And in the center, seasoned skaters spun, twirled and jumped with perfect balance and a grace she envied.

 “Nervous?” Ryan asked.

 “Nah, looks simple enough, right? You center your body weight on these two thin blades here and try not to bust your bum.”

 Ryan threw back his head and laughed. “That would be about right.” He stood and held out his hand. “I promise not to let you ‘bust your bum’.”

 At the edge of the ice, Ryan pulled her close and lowered his mouth to her ear. “It’s kind of like making love for the first time—a little awkward until you get lost in the sensations.”
