All Night Long

Chapter One: Page Two

He glided quietly across the room, admiring the great

view he had of his strong, broad shoulders that tapered

to a lean waist and an ass that looked tight and firm,

even in khakis. His dark brown hair was mussed, as if

he'd repeatedly combed the thick strands with his

fingers, and he'd rolled up the sleeves of his dress

shirt, revealing corded forearms. His hand, splayed on

one corner of the plans, was big and masculine, his

fingers long, virile, and no doubt very capable of

making a man's body respond to his will.

He shivered in anticipation, until a hint of insecurity

nudged its way to the surface. He was confident at

work, aggressive when the need arose, but he'd be lying

if he didn't admit that he was a teeny-tiny bit

nervous about kidnapping Seifer for an evening of

satiating desires. Before he could change his mind, he

came up behind him, slipped the folded scarf over his

head, and covered his eyes.

His entire body immediately tensed and he grabbed at the

material he'd used as a blindfold. "What the hell?"

His hand caught his wrist, stilling him before he could

rip the scarf off. "Leave it on," he said, his breath

stirring the strands of hair near his ear.

Hearing his soft command, he lowered his hand and cocked

his head. "Zell?" His low, rough tone held both

surprise and incredulity.

He didn't sound angry, which he took as a positive

sign. "Yes, it's me," he said, and tied the ends of the

fabric into a secure knot behind his head.

He relaxed and turned around, blindfold in place, his

trust in him automatic and unconditional. "I thought you

were gone. For good."

He might have covered those compelling green eyes of

his that always seemed to see too much, but now his

sexy, kissable mouth was more prominent...the sensuous

curve to his lips, the soft fullness that beckoned him

to taste with his tongue....

Inhaling a deep breath, he stated his intentions before

he lost the nerve. "I came back to take care of some

unfinished business."

Dark brows rose above the strip of black material,

giving him a very rakish appeal. "With me?"

His disbelieving tone was warranted, considering how

long he'd been fighting his fascination with him, and

his sexy charm. "Yes, with you. I was hoping we could do

something about this attraction between us before I move

on." He slowly circled him, brushing his body subtly

against his, tempting and teasing him. "That is, if

you're up to accepting the invitation."
