“I’ve acquired a few pieces. I like beautiful things,” he answered. His gaze met hers and held it, the words feeling like a sweet caress against her ears.
Katrina blinked, shifting away from the emotion rising between them. “Everything is so massive,” she noted as her gaze wafted from one work of art to another.
“That’s how we do things here in Texas, ma’am,” Matthew said, exaggerating his deep Southern drawl. “We breed everything big down here!”
She laughed, her head waving from side to side. “You are so not funny,” she said as she rolled her eyes.
He pulled her hand to his lips and kissed the back of it. The sensation was electric, causing Katrina to gasp loudly. “That’s why you laughed.” Matthew grinned. “Are you ready for dinner, Judge Broomes?”
“Is that going to be big, too?”
Matthew took a step toward her, moving his body near to hers. Katrina felt herself holding her breath at the nearness of him. His fingers gently caressed the length of her arm as he spoke.
“I hope it will exceed your expectations,” Matthew said, his gentle tone soothing. “I’m hoping this whole evening is going to be an event like nothing you’ve ever experienced before. If that takes big, then I assure you it will be the biggest meal you will ever have.”
Easing her gaze up to meet his, Katrina suddenly wanted to kiss the full lips smiling down at her. The heat from his body had ignited a flame deep in her midsection and she suddenly felt like she might combust from the intensity of it. She fought the sensation.
Her voice was barely a whisper as she responded. “I’d say you’re off to a good start,” she said softly.
