nodded, her balance slightly thrown. The wine, on an empty stomach, had gone straight to her head.
    ‘More?’ he suggested, tipping the bottle into her glass.
    ‘Are you trying to get me drunk?’ Another hiccup shook Eva’s body.
    ‘Would that be a problem, Evangeline?’
    Eva shook her head. His voice was crisp and assertive , but soft and inviting. It matched his confident stance.
    Nothing Julian did would be a problem, Eva thought.
                  Eva raised the glass to her lips but froze as she felt Julian’s hand wrap around hers.
    ‘Share ,’ he said.
    Julian slowly ran his tongue across his bottom lip and titled the glass away from Eva. His hand, still cupping hers, raised the glass to his lips and he took a slow, steady gulp, emptying it.
    ‘Hey, that was mine. ’ Eva tried to joke but she was sure the quiver in her voice made it come out awkward. Damn being a social introvert.
                  Julian raised his eyebrows just enough to slightly wrinkle his brow. He flung the glass on the bed. Eva turned her attention to the shiny crystal as it collided with the soft, fluffy pillows. Her heart raced as Julian’s right arm slowly crept around her back, clutching her waist and pulling her closer to him. She swallowed hard. Each deep breath pushed her breasts against his firm chest. His body was so close she could feel the heat of his breath as he leaned lower and softly pushed his lips against hers. She paused, barely able to move. He pulled back. Eva kept her eyes closed for just a moment longer than she needed to, her bottom lip dropped, just a little - begging for more.
    ‘You’re beautiful, Evangeline.’
                  The corners of Eva’s lips twitched and a tiny smile lit up her face. It wasn’t just a compliment; it was the best compliment she had gotten in her whole life. She wanted him to say it again, she wanted him to kiss her and tell her she was beautiful. Eva felt Julian’s fingers under her chin, softly tilting her head back. His grip on her waist tightened. She was wedged firmly between the bed and Julian’s body. She couldn’t move, even if she wanted to. She didn’t want to.
                  Julian’s finger traced the contour of her neck, down and down, stopping just shy of her breasts. His fingers spread and his palm rested on her racing heart, his hand rising and falling with the heaving of her quickened breathing.
    ‘Are you ready?’ he asked.
                  Eva opened her eyes to meet his. The question, ready for what ran through her mind, but for once she managed to stop herself before saying something stupid. She didn’t need to ask. To her surprise she was ready, so ready.
    ‘Yes,’ she whispered.
    ‘Good. I want you, Evangeline. I want every piece of you. Can I have you?’
    Eva was beyond words.
                  Julian pressed his mouth against her neck. Soft kisses dampened her skin. The tip of his tongue ran down her soft flesh, and he nibbled gently above her collar bone. Eva sighed as tiny shivers tickled the length of her spine. Julian’s hands began to wander over her clothes, they massaged her back and tugged at the zip of her dress. The crackle of the zip slowly opening challenged Eva’s soft panting for a chance to be heard. Eva bit her bottom lip - hard, and waited for the top of her dress to slide free from her shoulders.
                  Eva shivered; the cool air met her skin as the material fell to her waist. She gaped as Julian’s hands brushed over her bare flesh. Her bra posed no challenge for him as he undid the claps with a skilful twist of his fingers. His tentative lips never faltered as they worked their way lower, stopping just above her exposed breasts. Eva’s back arched and Julian’s lips brushed gently against her nipple. It hardened under his touch. She wanted to feel his mouth around it. But he didn’t fixate on sucking them, like she expected. He
