Giovanni chuckled. “You don’t drink much, do you?” She grinned back and leaned into his shoulder. “Nope.” Still chuckling, he watched her as she tasted the last scotch, but the laughter died when he saw her close her eyes. She licked her lips, and he could see the flush stain her cheeks. “This one,” she murmured. “This one’s my favorite.” He could see the slow pulse in her neck, and he watched as her tongue darted out again to taste. “Oh?” he asked in a low voice. She nodded. “Sweet and smoky. It almost—it tingles in my mouth.” Her eyes opened and he realized he had leaned toward her without thinking, her hypnotic tone drawing him in. He fought the rush of blood in his veins until he realized they were being watched from the corner and her face was tilted toward his as if she was asking her lover for a kiss. Placing an arm around her waist, he pulled her toward him and leaned down to cover her mouth with his own. He meant for it to be simple, a light kiss to cover the deception of his claim on her, but he tasted the gold whisky on her lips as they moved under his own. She was kissing him back.
