"A drink would be wonderful, but first..."
I plucked the keys to the handcuffs out of my purse and held them out to Ari.
"Hang on to these. I just might let you have your revenge."
The look he gave me almost made me regret the offer. Almost. Something flared in his eyes as his gaze burned into me. I knew without a doubt, the same intensity must have been reflected in mine.
I wrinkled my freckled nose and smiled. An attempt to break the tension.
Didn't work.
The handcuffs and keys slipped to the floor unheeded as Ari swept me into his arms and crushed my lips with a kiss so passionate it was almost
painful.
But dear God, what sweet, sweet pain!
Whatever had passed before had no more meaning than time itself while I was enclosed within his embrace. I don't know whether it was moments or days before he slowly released me. Surely my racing heartbeat was no accurate measure of time.
"I-I would love that drink now."
Working hard to regain control my calm, I took a deep breath.
"And then, I want to take a bath. I feel like I have the sands of the desert clinging to me."
