made her wait a week and then a few more hours before turning up at her work right on closing.
He spotted her immediately. She was at the till counting the day ’s takings, her back to him and yet she still froze to the spot when he entered the bar. She felt his presence as surely as he felt hers. He moved in behind her, the bar between them.
Now he was here to finally stake his claim.
“Mackenzie.”
He spoke her name aloud for only the second time to her. He had however said it over a million times in his head these past few months. He liked the way it felt on his tongue. He’d never disliked it, even though he told her so, it was just a part of his plan. He had been waiting for this moment. Waiting for the time he would claim her as his.
She turned slowly and took a step toward him. Putting her hands on the bar in front of her, the lower part he couldn’ t reach. She looked up at him through long dark lashes. Her jade eyes sparkled as they lit for him and a smile played upon her lips. She was unable to hide her pleasure at his appearance. The corner of her mouth tilted more, her smile broadening, causing his chest to constrict.
Yes, she was a beauty and she was his, the look on her face confirmed it.
“I’ ve come to take you home,” he said and he didn’t mean just for the night. This was the girl that he was going to give his heart too.
No. This was the girl that had already stolen it.
He reached his hand out across the bar, turning it on its side for her to shake.
“I’d like to introduce myself. My name is…”
The End
