The man who had been staring at her without haste extended his hand. The moment she was about to fall, his strong arm wrapped around her waist, and he steadily hoisted her back up.
Joanna fell into his embrace.
Her hands instinctively wanted to grab onto something, and she caught hold of the chest muscle she had just been fantasizing about.
The man's body was burning hot.
What she felt in her palm was a scorching, slightly burning skin.
As she pressed her hand down, a deep muffled groan sounded above her head, and the arm around her waist tightened abruptly.
The man's breathing began to grow rapid.
Like she had been electrocuted, Joanna immediately retracted her hand.
She looked up in a panic, only to collide with the man's bottomless, dark eyes. Seeing the familiar hint of desire in the depths of his gaze, her legs suddenly weakened.
Just as she reached out to push him away, both her hands were tightly held.
