his body until she
could feel every inch of him. She allowed herself to sink into him. When she
moaned, he slid his tongue between her lips. She met his tongue with her own,
circling it. This time he moaned.
    Much to her dismay, he pulled back. “We
need to stop,” he said breathlessly.
    “Why?” she murmured as she stroked his
cheek.
    He pulled back from her and took a few
deep breaths. “It’s been a long time, Hannah.” He turned away to take care of
the horses. After he removed their bridles he gave them both pats and murmured
softly to them. Then he quickly removed the saddles, and began to brush the
horses.
    “Thank you for the flowers,” she said.
    He looked over his shoulder. “You liked
them?”
    “They were very pretty,” she replied. “No
one else has ever sent me flowers. It was a nice surprise.”
    He gave a satisfied nod, and continued
to groom the horses before returning them to their stalls.
    When he came back he removed his gloves
and draped them over a rail. His gaze drifted to her lips, and she knew he was
going to kiss her again. Hannah’s breath came faster and her heart pounded.
    “Ew! It stinks in here,” Lydia whined,
and put a hand over her nose.
    The spell was broken by Lydia’s
entrance.
    “I want to go home now.” Lydia sounded
angry.
    “I thought you wanted to spend the day
with Dominic?” Hannah was surprised, and disappointed, to hear that Lydia
wanted to leave.
    “Well,” Lydia glared at Nathaniel as she
spoke, “apparently, that’s just not going to happen.” With that, she stormed
out of the stables. Her dramatic exit was ruined when she forgot to watch where
she was walking. “Holy crap!” she shouted.
    Hannah tried, unsuccessfully, to stifle
her laughter. “You’re half right,” she called out.
    When she finally got her laughter under
control she turned to Nathaniel. He was watching her with a strange look in his
eyes. He shook his head, as if to clear his thoughts, and smiled.
    “You’re so full of life,” he said simply.
“I was really hoping we could have lunch and spend the rest of the afternoon
together.”
    Hannah looked over her shoulder. Lydia
was already gone, most likely moping in the car again. “I really need to go
after her. I’m sorry.”
    “I have to go out of town next weekend.
I’m taking my aunt to the opera. Are you free tomorrow?”
    Hannah looked disappointed. “No, I have
a paper to work on and I promised to have lunch with some friends.”
    Now he looked disappointed. “Maybe you
could make time one evening in the middle of the week?”
    She hesitated. Her schedule was pretty
hectic during week days. “Maybe we could meet for lunch on Monday?”
    “Perfect! I’ll call you tomorrow night
to make arrangements.” With that settled he leaned in and brushed his lips
against hers.
    With a sigh, Hannah stepped back. At
least this time she only had to wait a couple of days to see Nathaniel again.

Chapter Nine
    It had been a long week, and Hannah was
really looking forward to her girls' night out with Trish and Caitlin. Three
people were out sick at the daycare so she’d been forced to work extra hours.
As a result she’d only had time for a short lunch with Nathaniel on Monday.
    Going to see local bands play at a club
in San Francisco was exciting. Hannah had always liked most genres of music so
she hadn’t even asked what type of music the bands would be playing until they
were on their way to the show. They stood in line outside of the club with
about fifty other people. They’d arrived early so they were near the front of
the line.
    As more people crowded around outside,
Hannah started to question her choice of clothing. She had opted for a black
tank dress. In retrospect it seemed a little conservative. At least she’d
picked the right color.
    Caitlin wore a skin tight black mini-dress
that laced up the back. The spaghetti straps showed off her tiger tattoo. On
her feet, she had a pair of black pumps that wrapped around
