Chapter Twelve
Lucy could not stop kissing Nicholas' neck. They were racing back to his house in a sleek sleigh. As soon as they got into the front seat, Nicholas pulled her onto his lap and held tight. Intrigued by his earthy scent and the feel of his solid form beneath her, Lucy started to play. She speared her fingers through the dark waves of his hair, stroked his soft beard, and nibbled on the smooth skin of his neck.
"Dear God, Lucy, what are you doing?" Nicholas' breathing was choppy, and Lucy felt him tremble beneath her.
"I can't help myself. You smell so good. And you taste so good." She sucked hard on his neck, leaving a bright red mark.
"Hope you don't mind, I just gave you a love bite." She giggled softly, still feeling the effects of Dag's strong brew.
"Don't mind?" Nicholas' voice cracked. "I'm about to stop the sleigh and take you right here in the middle of the road."
"Really?" Lucy liked the sound of that. I wonder what was in that beer? She was usually shy and unsure with her lovers. Tonight she felt sexy and carefree. Spontaneous and wanton. This was the woman in her dreams, the one who made wild, passionate love with Nicholas. Her fingers dropped down to his chocolate and cherry-stained shirt and started to work on the buttons.
"Oops. I really made a mess of you. Time to change."
Nicholas looked down at her hands working on his buttons in disbelief.

"Lucy, have you lost your mind? You can't undress me in the sleigh..."
Lucy hid a mischievous grin as she wrenched open his shirt and pushed it down his arms. Since the first day she spied Nicholas in her cafe, she had been consumed by curiosity about him. What was hiding underneath that starched white button-down and those polished spectacles? Muscle and fevered skin. A dusting of dark hair over well-defined pecs and a ridged abdomen. And a tattoo! Around one thick bicep was a band of vines, fashioned from holly and berries, in vibrant colors. At the center of the vine was a "K" in old-world lettering.
"You have a tattoo! I don't believe it...you don't seem the type, Mr. Klaus."
Nicholas groaned as Lucy licked a path along the vine. "All of us have it. My four brothers and my father. It's sort of a dumb tradition that usually transpires after a night of heavy drinking."
"Well, I love it. It's totally unexpected...and really sexy."
Lucy eagerly ran her hands over Nicholas' chest, dragging her nails through the soft hair. She could not resist rubbing her face over it like a purring kitten. His scent was delicious, musky and spicy. Her lips brushed across one of his dark nipples, and she felt him shudder. Curious, she opened her mouth and flicked her tongue over the nub, and was immediately rewarded with a long groan from Nicholas.
Emboldened, she started to lap at his puckered skin, and then sucked hard on the sensitive spot. Nicholas' hips lurched forward and he gasped for breath. Lucy smiled to herself. She 106

wrapped her hands around his biceps and squeezed, loving the feel of his taut muscles.
"I think your other nipple might be getting jealous. Better give him some attention, too." She giggled as she began to kiss her way across his chest.
"Lucy, I'm not kidding. You have to stop. Now." Nicholas'
voice was so low and gravelly she could barely hear him.
"Why? Last time you got to touch me, but I never got a chance to touch you. Or taste you. Now it's my turn." Lucy looked up into Nicholas' darkened eyes as she ran her tongue around and around his nipple, tempting and teasing. Finally she reached her goal, and sucked the skin into her mouth, flicking her tongue over his sensitive flesh. The gold in his hazel eyes seemed to darken even more, and his lids drooped dangerously low. A deep, rough hiss escaped from
