Like crystals at the bottom of a deep lake, the woman’s eyes drowned out everything around me until she was all I could see. Her long brown hair fell around her face, framing it with a gorgeous curl at the end, and her plush lips were a deep pink, just enough to complement her complexion.
It was unbearably warm where my hand connected around her waist, the heat of her skin seeping through her thin shirt, and I wondered briefly why a beautiful woman such as her would be here on such a cold night in such thin clothing.
But the thought passed as soon as it came as I felt a jolt of electricity surge between us, traveling from my bare skin to hers. The hair on my arms lifted and I shivered at the feeling, all of the words I had planned to say evaporating, leaving me speechless.
