Excerpt:
Momentarily struck dumb by his eye
color, she stared back. Why hadn’t she noticed until now? Although not as light
as hers or her father’s, the professor’s eyes were a startling green shade.
His hand nudged her arm. “Lacy?”
She jumped. “Oh, yes.” She slipped the
tissue from the half-carved wolf. Another glance
at his eyes and goose bumps riddled her arms.
He lifted the wood close to his face,
using both hands as if handling a delicate hummingbird. His thumb traced the
neck of the creature to the juncture of where it emerged from the wood. When he
brought the piece to his nose, closing his eyes and breathing deeply, Lacy
wanted to turn away from the oddly erotic gesture.
He swallowed, opened his eyes and set
the wolf back on the tissue. His attention shifted to the photograph of the
chest. He touched the photo, a smile on his lips. “Where is the chest?”
The chest. Like he knew it, had seen it
before. “I’m having it sent. You’ve seen it before?”
He didn’t move, stared out the window as
if deep in thought. “I’d like to show you something, Lacy.”
“All right.” She waited, watching his
profile.
He turned and stared into her face a
moment. “You’re so very lovely. A creation full of life and passion, surpassing
any art form.”
His hypnotic voice floated on the
classical strains drifting from the living room. She couldn’t speak. Didn’t
know what to say. She’d been lifted upon a pedestal of admiration. With any
other man, she might consider his words a means to a sexual end. The
professor’s intentions, however, were crystal. He admired her like a work of
art.
