returned to trying to peel his girl out of her clothes. After the doors closed, Ram turned and looked at her. âWell, that would have been interesting.â âYouâre joking. Please say that youâre joking.â She hit the button for another elevator. He shrugged his shoulders. âItâs Vegas,â he said.âPeople do things that they donât normally do. You know that.â She shook her head. âMen!â âWhat? What did I do?â Ram couldnât stop chuckling. âThose two could be married for all we know.â âNo rings.â âYou did a ring check?â âThatâs better than what you were checking out. A couple of more seconds and you wouldâve been nipple bobbing, too.â âNow Iâm offended,â he said, placing a hand against his chest. âSure you are.â âI am. Anyone who knows me knows that Iâm more of a leg man.â He deliberately let his gaze drop to her long legs. âAnd if you ask me, you have the best pair Iâve ever seen.â Sofia blushed, but was spared from having to make a comment when another elevator arrived. Ram followed her. âSo youâre really upset about that?â âIt wasâ¦inappropriate.â âAnd I take it that youâve never done anything inappropriate?â âWellâ¦not like that.â She frowned, not even able to imagine herself ever losing so much control that she would behave like a twenty-dollar trick. âI have a little more self respect than that.â âThen like what?â Ram asked. âWhat do you mean?â âTell me about a time when youâve done something inappropriate.â Sofia drew in a deep breath and did a quick search of her memory banks. âNothing?â âWait a minute.

When that only deepened her frown, he decided to let her off the hook. âNever mind. I donât want your brain to start short-circuiting.â âSo maybe I havenât done anything thatâs technically inappropriate or spontaneous. Big deal. It doesnât mean that Iâm a prude or anything.â âAll right. If you say so.â âIt doesnât,â she insisted. He shrugged his shoulders and started to walk off. Suddenly hit with a burst of inspiration, Sofia grabbed Ram by his hand and pulled him back. When he turned laughing, she cupped both sides of his face and laid a kiss on him that was so powerful he couldnât help but let out a grunt of pleasure. He raked one hand through her thick hair and settled the other against the small of her back. Ram couldnât believe how sweet she tasted or how soft her small curves were. Was this a dream? Sofia pulled her lips back all too soon but he chased after them for another intoxicating dose. It only lasted for a few extra seconds before she pushed back. âThere,â she whispered, while gulping in air. âIs that spontaneous enough for you?â Before he could answer, she stepped past him on wobbly knees and quickly rushed toward her room before she spontaneously ripped his clothes off. Behind her, Ram watched her go with a widening smile. Things were finally moving in the right direction.
Chapter 7 S ofia couldnât sleep, not for a nap or even later on that night. All she could think about was that damn kiss. It had to have been some trick of her mind to make her think that the man tasted like chocolate and honey. And even while she lay tossing in her bed, she kept running her tongue across her mouth for any residue he might have left. That kiss disturbed her peace of mind and she wondered if she could ever view him the same way again. It also
