Nik could see the clear desire on her face. He'd seen that look in plenty of women's eyes before. He was waiting for her to reply, to make a move, when suddenly the carriage jostled them and she was thrown into his lap! He laughed warmly, his arms going around her to keep her from falling into the floor as the carriage resettled into a smoother rhythm.
'I beg your pardon, but the road seems to have gotten just a little bumpy.'
Nikos smiled softly at her. She wasn't pulling away from him. That was good. He adjusted his embrace from one of support to one of a more sensual hold - sliding his hands down her back to rest at waist level. He shifted his torso as well, so that they were more comfortably pressed together. "There is no pardon to give," he assured her, his voice dropping an octave as he met her warm brown eyes. She was not the most luscious woman he'd ever held in his arms, but she was most certainly attractive. Elegant in her slimness, the gentle curves of her body lending to the aura of innocence about her. An innocence that was a contrast to the quick witted mind he knew she possessed. It made her all the more intriguing.
The smile on his lips faded the longer she stayed in his arm, as he though more about what a simply attractive young woman she was growing to compared to the rough and spunky child she'd been just a few years before. The fingers of one hand began to draw little circles in the small of her back. When he spoke again, his voice was thick and husky, yet silky at the same time. "You know this is a terrible idea. Being alone together, sitting like this. If your uncle found out... or my father..." He let the words hang between them. He meant them, if Fotios or Nikolias found out about this, wrath would rain down on them. Well, on him. But there had been something in her eyes those years ago that had intrigued him. She still held that spark today, and it drew him to her. Despite his concern about their elders - or perhaps because of it, because let's face it, Nikos was ever one to push his boundaries - the baron didn't push her away. If anything, he brought his face closer to hers.

Her body tingled with the dipping of his arm around her. The weight of her body fit nicely against the shape of him. She stayed there, stupefied as her thick lashes blinked over her dark gaze while looking up at him. The pint-size Leventi’s mouth opened into a small ‘o’ and her mind reeled. She should set herself back down in her seat. She should stop pressing the wet fabric of her clothing against him. She should stop staring up at him as if the Gods’ had made him just for her. Oh, there were so many things she needed to stop doing right now.
His lips curved into a deliciously slow smile that created another shot of electricity to flow through her. Instead of righting her, his hand slipped lower and softened into an almost caress of the small of her back. Her body reacted ever so slightly, pressing forward just a little more against him like a cat pressing towards the hand that was going to pet it. He shifted under her and she found herself straddling him, the copper chiton pulled up to the middle of her thighs.
‘There is no pardon to give.’ The Condo’s lord’s voice dripped like warm honey, sweet and tantalizing. Widening her eyes just a little, her teeth caught the fullness of her bottom lip. Would he taste as sweet and tantalizing as his voice? He seemed to sense her train of thought and his fingers drew lazy slow circles against the wet fabric on the small of her back, teasing her. Her eyes darkened as her breath caught in the back of her throat. ‘You know this is a terrible idea. Being alone together, sitting like this. If your uncle found out... or my father…’ It was a dangerous game they were playing right then, but somehow… she wanted to know more.
Tilting her chin up a little, she smiled, “I guess then they shouldn’t find out, should they?” Taking advantage of the situation, she wrapped an arm around his neck and pressed her lips to his. It wasn’t the first time she’d kissed… or been kissed. That much was obvious. She might still have quite a bit of innocence about her but the boys had attempted to play footsie with her before in the stables. Her teeth gently nipped his chin as she pressed herself closer to him, flattening her wet body against him as her hands investigated the width of his shoulders.

With Evangelina straddling his lap, Nikos could feel the heat coming from her body – despite their wet clothes, despite the chill of the air from the rain outside the private little carriage. He could feel his body reacting to having her close like this. In that moment it was like the Goddess Aphrodite had brought them together this day. What were the odds that the spunky Leventi girl - woman – would be in the temple at the same time that he had arrived? This meeting was divinely blessed, he was sure of it. Mostly.
’I guess then they shouldn’t find out, should they?’
He laughed, a low silky sound, his blue eyes sparking with an inner fire. ”My thoughts exactly,” he whispered in a husky voice. As he spoke, Evangelina wrapped her arm around his neck and leaned in, closing the gap between them and pressing her lips to his. He had not expected her to do that, but neither was he displeased! He sucked in a breath, breathing her in. But she broke the kiss all too soon, nipping at his chin. Nikos smiled mischievously, wrapped his arms about her waist, and drew her in closer still. He tilted his head and claimed her lips once more, his tongue darting between her teeth to dance with hers. Evangelina’s delicate hands dancing over his broad shoulders, sent chills down his spine. He groaned against her lips, craving more already. But he shouldn’t push it. Not so soon. She was a Lady after all, and a Leventi at that.
Slowly, reluctantly, he broke away from the kiss, licking the taste of her from his lips. "Where did you learn to kiss like that, Evangelina." Again he spoke with familiarity, practically whispering her name like it was some secret only he was privy to.

“What a coincidence,” Evangelina’s voice dropped to a husky purr in reply to him just before she pressed her mouth to his, taking him by surprise. It was a torturously slow first kiss, she deliberately took charge wanting to satisfy her own curiosities before reality had a chance to slip in and return her feet back to the ground. For just a moment, she wanted to know what it felt like to be Selene or Theo. To be wanted. To create a burning need. She wanted the knowledge. Her teeth captured his bottom lip in a little bite as she broke away from the kiss and softly ran her tongue over his lip before she let go.
Looking up at him from beneath her thick, bristly lashes, it left her a little taken aback that he was smiling down at her a little mischievously. Lord Nikos’ hands wrapped around the curve of her waist tightening almost possessively around her as he brought his mouth down on her fully, the tip of his tongue teasing her mouth to soften and open wider for him. Her fingernails dug softly into the fabric covering his chest at the small moan that vibrated out of him sending a shudder of awareness through her.
It was as if Aphrodite was possessing her, the way her body arched up pressing herself closer to him. The thin coppery fabric couldn’t hide the way her body had responded to his attention. Her sensitive breasts had become unforgivably taut. Evangelina’s arm slid up his body, and wrapped around his neck to brace her as she ebbed closer to him, her fingers tangling in his hair.
The kiss slowed despite the smallest moan from her of objection and she forced herself to sit back a little and breath. Her eyes focused on his chest, the steady up and down rhythm as he breathed.
‘Where did you learn to kiss like that, Evangelina,’ he said.
One corner of her lips lifted, and she gave him a coquettish look from under her lashes again, “I don’t know what you’re talking about. It was an okay kiss.” She shrugged and went to slip off of his lap nonchalantly, hoping she wasn’t shaking as much on the outside as she was on the inside.

’I don’t know what you’re talking about. It was an okay kiss.’
Nikos narrowed his blue gaze on the young Leventi woman even as she extricated herself so casually from his lap. She was playing it cool, it seemed, pretending that the kiss they’d just shared was something she did all the time. He highly doubted that, but she did seem to be enjoying herself. ”I see,” he replied thoughtfully, pursing his lips. Truth be told he wanted to pull Evangelina right back into his lap and slip his hands beneath the skirt of her dress and have a bit of fun with the fiery girl. But, he reminded himself, she was a Leventi – and if his calculations were correct she wasn’t quite sixteen yet. A sly smile graced his lips. ”Perhaps I was off my game. I had not expected to be in the company of such a beautiful woman this day.”
The driver outside could be heard calling to the team of horses pulling the carriage, and the wheeled contraption began to slow. Frowning, Nikos leaned across Evangelina to peer out the window. He could see the gates of the Leventi estate drawing closer. Damn. He pulled back to sit properly once more. ”It seems I was not paying that close of attention to how long we have been traveling. We are approaching your uncle’s home.”
Moments later the carriage rolled to a complete stop, the horses huffing and whinnying at being made to halt their momentum. Nik could hear his retainer hit the ground and approach the carriage door. The Condos lord was not ready to let this jewel out of his sight. On impulse, he snapped a hand out to lightly grip Evangelina by the wrist. ”Our elders would not approve I’m sure, but might I see you again, Evangelina?” Again he said her name like it was a secret only he was privy to. ”Perhaps we could enjoy a quiet ride together? Just us two and our best steeds?’ That charm oozed from him in that moment as he smiled softly, his blue eyes trained on her as if he was seeing only her.

Just us two and our best steeds?’ That charm oozed from him in that moment as he smiled softly, his blue eyes trained on her as if he was seeing only her.
He was a man of experience and she was teetering somewhere between a girl and a woman, what had he expected her to do? Admit that he had just shook her all the way to her bones with that kiss, she’d felt it curl down her spine and a ricochet down to her toes? Hardly. She had pride. Her chin jutted out a little though there was a small quiver at her lips and the way she refused to look directly into his shockingly blue eyes. Did he see? Did he really?
‘Perhaps I was off my game. I had not expected to be in the company of such a beautiful woman this day.’
This drew her attention and her dark eyes slowly up to his assessing if he’d really meant those words or if they were just a form of lip service from him. Searching his, a thrill shot through her. Did he really think she was beautiful? Her features were far too sharp to ever be comparable to Selene or Theo but there was an animation and puckish charm that bonded all of her features into the package that she was. But, could he appreciate that package when there were women like Lene or Theo? Catching her bottom lip between her teeth, she forced herself to take a breath, “I bet you say that to everyone, don’t you?” It came out a sharp sort of murmur, not necessarily snide but rather that she grasped that he wasn’t some naive page boy trying to simply play footsie with her.
Her eyes darted towards the ceiling in the general direction that the driver sat. Was she home already? It sounded that way, even through the rain she could hear the sounds of the horses slowly to approach the drive of the Leventi house.
‘It seems I was not paying that close of attention to how long we have been traveling. We are approaching your uncle’s home.’
Neither had she apparently. Slanting a look down at him, her hand reached out to grasp the handle of the door with every idea of making a leap from the carriage and running up the drive as much to get out of the rain as to hide who she’d been with, except his hand closed around her wrist. Her eyes widened slightly but she froze in her movements.
‘Our elders would not approve I’m sure, but might I see you again, Evangelina?’ He wanted to see her again, that was all she heard, that and the way her name curled off his lips. It was decadent and sent a thrill through her. ‘Perhaps we could enjoy a quiet ride together? Just us two and our best steeds?’
Dimples appeared as a quick smile formed, “Yes.” He would see her again. Opening the door, she took advantage of the moment as her answer was on him to pull free of his grasp and hurry out of the carriage as it still slowed to a halt for her. Turning she reached to close the door, the rain still pouring down on her. “I’ll ride early in the morning just as the sun comes up along the beach before I leave to return to Acharist.” She closed the door on him, raindrops lingering on her long lashes as she looked up at him and her smile widened even more, “Don’t be late, Condos. I wait for no man.”
With that said, she pivoted and bolted towards the drive of her Uncle Georgios' manor. Opening the side door, she slipped in and leaned her back against the large wooden door. Her chest rising and falling as she closed her eyes, Oh Aphrodite! Thank you!

He was a man of experience and she was teetering somewhere between a girl and a woman, what had he expected her to do? Admit that he had just shook her all the way to her bones with that kiss, she’d felt it curl down her spine and a ricochet down to her toes? Hardly. She had pride. Her chin jutted out a little though there was a small quiver at her lips and the way she refused to look directly into his shockingly blue eyes. Did he see? Did he really?
‘Perhaps I was off my game. I had not expected to be in the company of such a beautiful woman this day.’
This drew her attention and her dark eyes slowly up to his assessing if he’d really meant those words or if they were just a form of lip service from him. Searching his, a thrill shot through her. Did he really think she was beautiful? Her features were far too sharp to ever be comparable to Selene or Theo but there was an animation and puckish charm that bonded all of her features into the package that she was. But, could he appreciate that package when there were women like Lene or Theo? Catching her bottom lip between her teeth, she forced herself to take a breath, “I bet you say that to everyone, don’t you?” It came out a sharp sort of murmur, not necessarily snide but rather that she grasped that he wasn’t some naive page boy trying to simply play footsie with her.
Her eyes darted towards the ceiling in the general direction that the driver sat. Was she home already? It sounded that way, even through the rain she could hear the sounds of the horses slowly to approach the drive of the Leventi house.
‘It seems I was not paying that close of attention to how long we have been traveling. We are approaching your uncle’s home.’
Neither had she apparently. Slanting a look down at him, her hand reached out to grasp the handle of the door with every idea of making a leap from the carriage and running up the drive as much to get out of the rain as to hide who she’d been with, except his hand closed around her wrist. Her eyes widened slightly but she froze in her movements.
‘Our elders would not approve I’m sure, but might I see you again, Evangelina?’ He wanted to see her again, that was all she heard, that and the way her name curled off his lips. It was decadent and sent a thrill through her. ‘Perhaps we could enjoy a quiet ride together? Just us two and our best steeds?’
Dimples appeared as a quick smile formed, “Yes.” He would see her again. Opening the door, she took advantage of the moment as her answer was on him to pull free of his grasp and hurry out of the carriage as it still slowed to a halt for her.

’I bet you say that to everyone, don’t you?’
Oh, smart girl. A sly smile turned up one corner of his mouth. ”Perhaps. But I’ve never not meant it.” He let his gaze sweep over her as his tongue wetted his lower lip. Then the carriage had slowed, and they’d realized they had arrived at their destination.
‘Perhaps we could enjoy a quiet ride together? Just us two and our best steeds?’ ’Yes.’ Such a simple word, emphasized by those enticingly adorable dimples. And then she was verily jumping from the carriage before his retainer could open the door for her. Nik thought she was going to leave him with that one little word and force him to find a way to see her without letting their families know about it. But then the daring young Leventi ducked her head back in through the door. ’I’ll ride early in the morning just as the sun comes up along the beach before I leave to return to Acharist. Don’t be late, Condos. I wait for no man.”
Before Nikos could even reply, she was gone, flouncing away towards the manor, the light rain beading up in her hair and making it glisten as he watched her. An image of the impish smile on Evangelina’s face filled his mind. Such fire in that one, such wit. A slow wicked smile spread across his face as his retainer joined him in the carriage and the driver set the horses into motion. No… he would not be late. Wouldn’t dream of it. He was going to enjoy this one.
