“Please, Holly. What did you mean?”
“Nobody has ever made me feel this good.”
His hands stopped. “But—”
“Nobody,” she repeated and turned her head to look at him. “You’re the best lover I’ve ever had.”
Looking into her green eyes, he believed her. His mouth found hers without thinking. He lost himself in a deep kiss. Hungry as he was, he all but devoured her, losing any sense of time and place.

Sabrina wasn’t sure whether she should have told him, but he’d been so insistent, and at this point what would be the harm if she told him the truth? And the truth was he was the best lover she’d ever had. Not that she’d had that many, but even if she had, she was sure that he would still be the best.
When she felt his demanding lips on hers, she wished they were back at his hotel, where she could rip his clothes off. She felt more than aroused by his kiss and felt her panties getting soaked with warm moisture oozing from her core.
“Hey, lovebirds, are we going to get that pizza dough any time soon?” a voice pulled them out of their embrace. The couple who was assigned with preparing the toppings for the pizza grinned at them.
Daniel chuckled. “Pizza dough, coming right up.” And then he gave her another searing look and whispered just for her to hear, “We’ll continue this later.”
Sabrina so desperately wanted to sit down to stop her knees from shaking. How this man could turn her weak like this with just one kiss was beyond her. Daniel gave her a knowing look. Oh yes, he knew exactly the kind of effect he had on her. Maybe it had been a bad idea after all to tell him that he was her best lover. Like he needed any more encouragement.
The food was better than they would have eaten at a five star restaurant. They sat together at a long communal table with the other couples, chatting, drinking and complimenting each other on their cooking skills.
They were engaged in a conversation with the couple sitting opposite them, who had introduced themselves as Kim and Marcus.
“You guys are either newlyweds or engaged to be married, am I right?” Kim asked curiously. Her husband nudged her in the ribs.
“Don’t be so nosy, honey.”
“That’s quite all right,” Daniel replied. “So, what makes you think that, Kim?”
“You guys obviously can’t keep your hands off each other, no offense. That’s what we were like at the beginning too. Do you remember, honey?” Kim gave her husband a sheepish look.
“Sure do,” he replied and planted a wet kiss on her neck. She laughed out loud.
“Sorry, Marcus is obviously regressing to that time.”
He grunted humorously. “Where did you guys meet?”
“A friend’s party.”
“Internet,” Daniel said almost simultaneously.
Sabrina shot Daniel a nervous look.
“I mean, I was going to sign up for some internet dating service,” Daniel back-peddled.
“But then, my friend threw a party for all her single friends,” Sabrina helped him.
“And we were supposed to all write up our bios at that party. You know, how we were going to describe ourselves for that internet dating service. And Holly helped me write up my bio, and one thing led to the next.”
Good save. She smiled at him, and he smiled back.
“That’s hilarious,” Kim exclaimed. “I’m curious. How did you describe him?”
Sabrina had more improvising to do. But this was easier than she thought. She would just describe him the way she saw him right now.
“Handsome Adonis seeks Goddess of Love on whom to bestow carnal pleasures in exchange for undying love and devotion.” The words rolled easily off her lips, surprising herself.
She caught Daniel's stunned look.
“Wow!” Kim’s voice came from across the table.
“And that’s when I realized that my Goddess of Love was sitting right next to me, so we left the party without signing up for the internet dating service,” Daniel added and gave her another hungry look.
After dessert was served, it quieted down, and they left the school, escaping into the fresh evening air.
“Thank you,” Sabrina said to him. “It was so much fun. Come, now I want to show you something.”
He raised an eyebrow. “What do you want to show me?”
“A fabulous view over the Bay, and it’s only a block away from here.” She knew of a staircase, hidden away off Green Street, which ran in between several homes and ended at a little viewing platform affording a breathtaking view over the Bay. They walked up the steep street and came to a halt midway.
