"She knew that their first meeting was by chance. It had been at her favorite coffee shop. She’d spilled hers on his expensive Italian shoes in her hurry to get lost in the latest romantic thriller. When she apologized, his smile was lopsided, like her brother’s. The rest of Antony, though, was sublime…the epitome of Italian masculinity. A professionally tailored suit fitted around his broad chest left little to the imagination.
She melted under the heat of his well-traveled brogue. Her blush enticed the Italian businessman because it made the cream of her skin fairer, bringing out auburn highlights in her hair. Before he could speak further, she excused herself. Not much later, he found her in her corner and ever so gently pushed her book down, his eyes meeting hers. He asked to join her."

Is it fate... or something more sinister bringing them together?
You show a good sense of mystique.Yum pic, too!
ReplyDeleteAn interesting sample. What's the Italian going to say or do to her? Is he mad about his damaged shoes and about to demand restitution? Or is he going to seduce her first?
ReplyDeleteWho doesn't love a hot Italian guy in a nice suit? If that doesn't light your fire, your wood's wet. Fun post
