I stepped out the door of the Ladies’ Room at Joe’s Bar and found the man of my fantasies waiting, arms crossed over his broad chest, a dark look in his intense eyes.
“Hi,” I said, intending to stride past him.
“In a hurry?” he asked.
I swallowed hard. “No. I just thought you were waiting for someone.”
“I was. I was waiting for you.”
I blinked, but dizziness assaulted me and I wasn’t sure if it was the alcohol I’d drank or Ethan’s unique masculine scent that had me off kilter.
“Hi,” I said again, grinning this time.
He shook his head and laughed.
The sound rocked my world. His smile tilted it even more.
He reached out and lifted my chin with his hand, looking into my eyes. “You’re drunk.”
I shook my head in denial. Big mistake. I wobbled, and he reached out to steady me. His hand on my bare arm branded my skin, causing my temperature to soar and my heart to pound harder in my chest.
“Maybe a little…tipsy.” I giggled but resisted the urge to cover my mouth in embarrassment. Faith Harrington never giggled. Until now, that is. “Make that a lot tipsy,” I admitted.
A sexy smile tilted his lips. “I can see that, Princess.”
I loved how he used that word, the way it rolled off his tongue like an endearment. Not that I’d ever admit as much to him.
“You’re right about that. I’m definitely feeling something.” Because his hand not only still held my arm, but he ran his thumb back and forth over my skin. But I wasn’t complaining. I liked his touch way too much.
“Ready to go back to your table?” he asked.
I nodded and took a few steps, then realized I wasn’t steady on my feet but Ethan’s hand was still there, keeping me upright, and I was grateful. “Thanks.”
He wrapped his arm around my waist, and I no longer wanted to fight him. He pulled me close, his hard body aligning with mine.
I closed my eyes for a second and inhaled deeply, taking in the scent I knew would arouse me for a long time to come. “You smell good,” I murmured.
“You smell better.” His gruff voice brought me out of my daydream, and I realized I’d spoken out loud.
He pulled me tighter against him.
Oh man.
He walked me to Kate’s table, and I leaned over to whisper in my friend’s ear. “I’ve had way too much to drink, so I’m going upstairs before I get in trouble.”
Kate glanced from me to Ethan, who waited beside me. “Oh, honey, I think you already found trouble,” Kate said softly.
I giggled again. “He found me.”
