Warmth and tranquility spread through her arm from the contact. Something familiar about his presence played with her psyche, and she allowed herself to be enveloped in his embrace. Wrapping his arms around her, he brushed his lips across her forehead and nose. He skimmed his fingers through her hair and down to her shoulder. She relaxed with the soothing gesture and accompanied him onto a well-worn hiking path.
Walking with him gave her the chance to inspect her “date.” Well-groomed black hair hung low on his back and in the dim light, his sculpted features gave seduction a face. The silver jewelry sparkled and accessorized his black attire, completing midnight personified. With dark features, height and regal stride, he resembled a chieftain. His clothing pulled taut over an athletic build similar to that of Native American warriors of the past. A vision filled her head of him nearly naked dancing around a bonfire.
