thought of his kiss every time she looked at Lucas. He grinned whenever he caught her stare, proving he’d been thinking about it, too. Melody wondered if she were crazy giving up on passion so easily. Sarah and Keith cuddled on the way to the front porch. Melody couldn’t believe she’d hidden her distaste for Keith.
    “I have never been so happy to see a porch light in my life!” Sarah leaned against the door. Keith pulled her close. Melody couldn’t believe they weren’t raw from all the kissing they’d done. Sarah moaned as Keith ran his hand under her dress. Once again Lucas took her attention from the moment.
    “Luke, you and Melody want some time alone?” Keith looked at them. “I know we sure as hell could use some.” He grinned.
    “Keith, I need to speak to you for a minute.” Sarah unlocked the door. Keith followed her inside the house.
    “So, still tense?” Lucas held Melody close. The wind slightly blew his hair out of place. He easily fixed it with a gentle sweep of the hand. He had the most beautiful hair Melody had ever seen. She hadn’t forgotten that in all these years.
    They heard Sarah and Keith bumping against the door. It hadn’t been difficult to imagine what they were doing. “I had a very nice time, Lucas. I’m glad I decided to take Sarah up on the offer.”
    He felt her hair. “I meant what I said, Mel. Whenever you need anything, I’m just a phone call away.”
    She smiled. “And I got the number.”
    “Use it.” He kissed her cheek, and she wondered why he stopped there. Funny how she wanted more now opposed to when they were in the restaurant. “Uh, I couldn’t help sensing something, Mel.” He shifted. “You don’t like Keith, do you?”
    She turned away. “Why would you say that? I hardly know the guy.”
    “Keith, stop! “Sarah laughed from inside.
    Melody walled her eyes. “Lucas, has Keith mentioned Sarah to you a lot? I mean, at work do you two talk?”
    He scratched his forehead. “Keith’s a good friend of mine. But he’s very private. He doesn’t let people get too close to him.”
    “Do you know why?”
    Lucas moved back. “How come I get the feeling you’re doing a little detective work on my man in there?”
    “I was just wondering. A girl has the right to know about her sister’s boyfriend, doesn’t she?” She swung her purse around. He pulled her close once more.
    “You are so beautiful, Melody.” Lucas gently pushed her against the door. Melody eagerly awaited the kiss. Keith opened the door before they got the chance to enjoy it. Lucas rubbed Melody’s cheek. She nuzzled against him.
    Keith stared at them. “Well, I guess Sarah and I aren’t the only ones falling prey to passion tonight.” He dug in his pockets. Just looking at Keith infuriated Melody.
    “Well, I guess we’d better go then, huh?” Lucas whispered.
    “Are you talking to me?” Keith grinned. “You’re looking at her but are you talking to me? Come on, let’s go, man. I think we both need to let the ladies have a little rest and relaxation.”
    Melody didn’t know what the hell Keith meant by that line, but she’d do her best to ignore him.
    Lucas held her. “If you want to do this, we can take it slow, okay?” Melody nodded. “I don’t want this to end, okay? I really want us to spend time together like we used to.”
    “I know.” Melody kissed him. The action seemed to surprise Lucas and Keith.
    “Thanks again for the lovely evening, Lucas.”
    “Shh.” He held his finger to her lips. “Don’t ever thank me for allowing me to spend time with you. Besides, the loveliest thing about this evening was you.” He looked back as he stepped off the porch. “Good night, Melody.”
    “Good night, Lucas.”
    Keith grinned and followed Lucas to the car.
    Melody leaned against the door when she got inside. She couldn’t explain the hold Lucas had on her already. She couldn’t wait to see him again. She’d find any excuse just to get another sample of
