to find out before the
end of the night just how you got your nickname, Sin Natasha."
    My face blushed crimson
at the implications of his words. Was he thinking about hooking up with me
tonight? One-night stands weren't really my thing. In fact, I only ever had one
up until now, and it was a horrible experience. So I had been reluctant to have
another one ever since. But for Charming, I might just be willing to make an
exception.
    Charming's hand was on
the small of my back as he led me into a waltz dance. He twirled me around to
the beat of the music, and I did my best to keep up with his steps.
    He moved with such
natural ease on the dance floor that I couldn't help but wondered just how well
he moved inside the bedroom. God! What was with me? Why was I even
thinking such thoughts? Never before had I felt so instantly attracted to a
man.
    Was it the perpetual twinkle
in his eyes? Or was it the way in which his muscular body filled out the tuxedo
just right? Maybe it was because of the wicked yet charming smile he kept
giving me. Or maybe it was how easy and fun it had been talking to him thus
far.
    As I continued to dance
with Charming, I briefly wondered whether I was in the middle of a dream.
Surely, that would be the only way to explain how I ended up in a beautiful
dress and a splendid pair of shoes while dancing with the hottest man in the
room.
    The song we were
dancing to came to an end and a more upbeat tempo started playing instead.
Charming and I danced for a while longer before he asked if I wanted to take a
break and go with him outside. I smiled and nodded in agreement because, to be
honest, I would have gladly followed him anywhere.
    He led me outside while
holding my hand the entire way. Butterflies swarmed inside my belly as we walked
on the cobblestone together.
    "So tell me, Sin Natasha,
where are you from? Because you're obviously not from New York based on the
fact that I had never seen you around here before."
    "Well, New York is
big and highly populated, so it wouldn't be unheard of for us to never run into
each other while living here."
    "Still, there's
such a magnetic pull to you that I'm certain you would have drawn me in a long
time ago had you been living in the area."
    I smiled and blushed at
his words. I knew it was just a line he was using to impress me, yet I couldn't
help but feel a drumming in my chest as a result of it all.
    "You know, Sin
Natasha, you're even more beautiful when your cheeks turn beet red like
that."
    "You always know
just the right thing to say, don't you? Now I know why your friends all call
you Charming."
    "And yet I still
don't know why they call you Sin Natasha. But that's okay, I'm determined to
find out before the clock strikes midnight."
    He was so cocky, but
instead of being turned off by it, I found myself incredibly aroused. Maybe it
was because I knew he could be spending his time right now with any other girl
at the wedding, yet he had chosen to be with me.
    I had been so engrossed
in our conversation that I didn't even notice until just now that the path we
had been walking on led right to a gazebo.
    "This is
beautiful," I said as I sat down next to him on the cement bench
underneath the gazebo.
    "Still not as
beautiful as you are," he said as he leaned in close and held my chin in
his hand.
    He was so close to me
now, I could smell the heady mixture of his cologne and natural masculine
scent. It caused all of my nerve endings to stir and tingle.
     My lips parted on
their own, and he seized the opportunity to kiss me. His tongue swirled against
mine slowly and sensually.
    Then he pulled away to
gaze into my eyes. "That was amazing," he said, and I couldn't
possibly agree more.
    "Yes, it was
amazing. Now kiss me some more." I surprised myself with how suddenly
forward I was being with a man I hardly even knew. What was it about him
that made me so wild and carefree?
    His lips curled up into
a smug grin. Then he leaned in again to kiss me. This time, our kiss
