them, the way Diana Ross used to do.” She giggled. “Sounds silly, right?”
“That can still happen.”
“Oh, please!” Chloe dismissed the notion with a wave of her hand. “That was a little girl’s fantasy.”
Donovan observed her closely. After a moment she looked away, directing her attention toward her feet. He watched her create abstract swirls in the sand with her bare toes. Donovan felt as if there were more she wanted to say.
“What about you?” she asked after a while.
Donovan chuckled. “When I was a kid, I fantasized about being an astronaut.”
“What happened?”
“Girls,” Donovan said matter-of-factly. Both enjoyed a good chuckle.
He liked the way she laughed: the way her head fell back revealing the sexy long line of her neck, the sweet melody she released into the air, the way she wrinkled her nose and how her sweetheart lips parted. Suddenly, he felt the urge to kiss those lips.
Chloe stopped laughing and looked at him curiously when she noticed him watching her. “What?” she asked, staring inquisitively.
“I want to take you out again.” He was direct.
“Let me check with my sister to see what her plans are for tomorrow.”
“I’m talking about when we get back home to Long Island. I want to see you on a regular basis.” A few dates wouldn’t satisfy him. He was interested in the quest. Where could this go?
Chloe tucked her lips in but didn’t say a word. Donovan imagined her doing the same thing when he made that comment earlier when they were on the phone. He was beginning to understand the indications of her silence.
“I love my mother but she doesn’t run my life.” Donovan faced her, taking both her hands into his. He looked into her eyes. After a moment she looked away. “I want to see you again.” It was more than a statement.
Chloe’s only response was a sigh and a smile. Donovan wasn’t settling for “no” as an answer. Getting what he wanted had never been a concern. He only ever needed to figure out how to attain that which he desired.
