my office number. 
If you decide you want to come back, give me a call and we’ll set something
up.  I hope to see you again soon,”he winked at her before turning to talk to a student.  Blushing, Bri
quickly turned and went to find Cole.
    He was still at work at his easel,
and she peeked over his shoulder to see what he’d drawn.
    “Wow,”she sucked in a breath.  “Cole, that’s really beautiful.”   She was stunned at
the collection of her renderings on his paper. 
    “Yes, you are,”he turned and
smiled at her.  “Are you ready?”  
    She nodded, and he shouldered his
bag and grabbed his paper.  He handed it to Daymon on their way out.
    “Nice!  Great work, Mr. Marra.  Very
impressive.”
    “Well, it’s easy when you have a
great subject to work with,”Cole turned a proud grin at her.
    “Yes, that does make it easier.  And
so much more enjoyable.”   Daymon smiled at Bri, and Cole’s smile tightened.  “See you both later.”
    Cole wrapped an arm around her and
quickly led her out of the building.
    “So,”she began, wanting to move past that awkward exchange.  “How were you
able to see and draw all of that so quickly?”   She’d been amazed at the level of detail he’d been able to capture in
such a short amount of time.
    Cole gave a small laugh.  “Bri, I
could draw you in my sleep.  And I happen to know that you have exactly 16
freckles on your nose, so I didn’t have to waste time counting them all.  The
really hard part was not thinking about you all naked while I was drawing.”
    “What?”she smacked his arm.  “You were not
thinking about me naked.”   When he gave her a wolfish grin, she paled.  “Oh crap, do you think
anyone else was doing that?”   She was mortified.
    “Only about half the room,”he laughed
tightly.  “But that’s not nearly as bad as watching my TA flirt with my
girlfriend.”  
    This stopped Bri in her tracks.  “What? 
He was not.”
    “All I know is that Daymon couldn’t
have cared less how many freckles the chick who came in last week had, and she
was covered in them.  He was totally hitting on you.”
    She gave him an incredulous glare.  “You’re
doing it again.”
    “What?”he returned.
    “You’re being an idiot.  And I’m not
having this conversation again.  We’ve already been over this.”
    He paused for a moment, then
deflated.  “You’re right, I’m sorry”he relented.  “I told you, I’m working on it.”
    “Well, work harder.”   She grabbed the
front of his shirt and pulled him against her.  “I love you, and only you.  Got
it?”
    “Got it,”he smiled, his arms snaking around
her.  “And just so you know, there isn’t a woman alive who could compare to
you.  You are perfection personified, and I will love and cherish you for as
long as you’ll let me.”
    Her heart started fluttering and
warmth spread through her.  She found him even more sexy and irresistible when
he said things like that. 
    “Good.  Now, let’s get home.  You
need to say more things like that, and I need to reassure you of the depth of
my affection.”   She
gave him a sultry kiss and sauntered away.
    Cole blinked, and rushed up to
capture her from behind.  “I’ll take all the reassurance you’ve got,”he whispered hotly
in her ear.
    Somehow they managed to make it back
to Cole’s room.  It was the safer choice, as it was more likely to provide them
some privacy.  Cole opened the door to a dark, empty room, and Bri thanked her
lucky stars.  Finally, a stroke of luck. 
    Cole flipped her around, pressing
his body against hers, pinning her to the wall.  “You should know better than
to tease me like that,”he grinned.  His lips attacked her neck and shoulders, every inch of
bare skin they could find.  And thanks to her ballet leotard, there was a lot. 
    “Who said I was teasing?”she returned. 
Wanting to feel his skin against hers, she grabbed his shirt and tugged it over
his head.  He
