She pressed her body against his, but more for the contact. There was nothing flirty intended… just now. Cori tipped her head up and smiled. “Well, right now I’m enjoying the process, especially since I have a wonderful guide. Any suggestions for other ways to sync my body and mind?” Okay, maybe thatwas more flirty than she initially intended and she smirked. They were going to make it to dinner, right?

Royal laughed and gave her a not-so-quivk kiss and then said “Oh, I can think of’a few ways…” and grinned and winked at her. “But we have dinner reservations in five hours, and I don’t want ta miss that.” His eyes sparkled with a promise of utter mischief, however, and his hands slipped onto places that were mischievous indeed.

She smirked, lacing her fingers behind his neck. “That’s a lot of time to kill. So what are your suggestions for this mind-body connection syncing that still involves us making it to dinner?”

Royal looked at her with a mock shocked expression on his face. “Why dear Ms. Dalton, are you propositioning me? Because if you are, I am completely ok with it.” and he laughed.

Her smirk deepened into a grin. “Hey, you were the one who suggested it first, I wasn’t upping the ante. I was just trying to deduce in what form exactly this syncing could take place. Now, as for a proposition, I just might be, but in such a case we’re going to have to set aside a good chunk of time and I think that would preclude dinner.”

She chuckled. “I guess that leaves us with still the question of how do we pass the time until we get ready for dinner?”

Royal looked at her for a long time, his eyes locked in hers. He had a look she hadn’t seen before… and it was serious. He took a breath and then asked “Cori… How long have we known each other? Counting the time apart… How long?”

“Is this a trick question? Because the answer is 834 days, or two years, three months and two weeks,” she said nonchalantly, even as she gazed at him intently with her vibrant eyes. She was all too aware that they had been apart pretty much as long as they had known each other. Strange thought, that.
