“A lot changed over the years. Art has always been a part of me, a means to express emotions when words fall short. I might not be an artist myself, but I’ve learned to appreciate good art when I see it,” I explain.“Oh,” he drawls, though not before I catch a flicker in his eyes.“Interesting. Would you mind telling me more about it?” He asks calmly.“Well, it’s just some random thoughts really. Besides, art,” I reply.“You can’t be so sure,” he smirks. I shake my head before returning my attention to the artwork.He listens intently as I describe my thoughts on each artwork. Soon, I completely absorbed in the beautiful space, unable to keep my enthusiasm. We explore different galleries, discussing the historical context, artist’s techniques, and the personal stories behind each peace.

I’m amazed to see a lot of people already there. Nathan guides me until we reach a table. He pulls back a chair and allows me to sit before sitting beside me. I can’t help but admire the artistry of the decor.“Is there anything else after this auction?” I ask.“Not that I know of,” Nathan says, and I nod.“Welcome, ladies and gentlemen, to this momentous occasion.

My eyes widen. Am I that easy to read? He must have heard the question in my mind.“It’s nothing serious. I just have a way of reading body language.”“Well, you must be an expert at that,” I say.“I won’t call myself an expert. Let’s just say I know when I spot someone in distress.”I can’t help the smile that spreads on my lips. Dwayne stops dancing while the music continues.“My goodness, you should smile more often. You’re beautiful. I’m sure other men who have been eyeing you all night will want to tear me apart right now,” he says.“Oh, stop being dramatic,” I respond.“Trust me, I’m not. Tell me more about yourself, Natalia ,” he insists.“There is nothing much to say.”He resumes dancing and effortlessly guides me through the music. I feel an electrifying gaze on me without even turning around.“I don’t believe that. I mean, I know you’re definitely an angel. It’s an explanation for why you’re so beautiful but tell me more,” he says.I’m about to share more when the unexpected

One minute I’m yelling at him. The next minute, Nathan smashes his lips against mine. Time freezes as my mushy brain tries to process what’s happening. He pulls me closer until we pressed against each other, completely taking over the kiss. A moan escapes my lips, and I lose all sense of time and place. I’m completely blindsided by the exquisite taste of his lips. They hold a hint of the wine we had at the party.I groan as the sweet taste explodes in my mouth.
