Only in your arms

She set up her table in a private study off the living room where all the activity was going on. She had Sandalwood burning and the lights off her table covered with a black cloth and candles lit everywhere giving a soft glow to the room. Her readings had been very good so far. And everyone seemed to be having a lot of fun getting their cards read. She had always enjoyed doing these kinds of things and had a special gift for it.

She leaned back against her chair relaxing after her last reading when Kelley stepped in grinning "Hey sweetie. I brought my cousin with me. What do you say you read his cards? Once your done Lucian will take you out for something to eat since you've been in here doing cards for so long and I know you're hungry." She batted her eyelashes innocently. Liana sighed deeply knowing what was going on. She was trying to set her up on a date. She groaned inwardly remembering the last time Kelley had tried that. The man had been the most boring person she had ever met, handsome, but boring. All he could do was complain about things. Like the food, the weather, etc. Negativity was something that she couldn't handle.

She sighed deeply "Listen Kelley, I hope you're not trying to set me up like you did last time." Kelley winced, thinking on last time she had tried setting Liana up. "Its not like that Sweetheart. Lucian is a great guy. Trust me, you'll love him!" She turned around and called opened the door to call Lucian in. Liana opened her mouth to protest but her breath caught in her throat. In front of her stood a god. Her mouth moved to form a word but nothing came out.

He had deep green eyes that seemed to pierce right through her. Sensual lips that made her wonder how soft they would be if she kissed them. his black hair was straight, long and tied back. Was it too tacky to say he was dark and rugged? The man was the epitome of manliness. He had a wide expanse of chest , wide shoulders and hard thighs that even his suit couldn't hide. He wore black dress pants and a matching jacket with a green striped shirt slightly open at the collar with no tie. On another man this would have looked sloppy. It made him look sleepy and sexy. She could imagine him laying in her bed relaxing after a day of work, smiling softly at her crooking a finger at her, calling her over -


"Lianna, this is my cousin Lucian. Lucian this is my friend and co-worker Liana". She grinned at Lianas reaction. Lucian glared at his cousin knowing exactly what she was trying to do but smiled politely at Liana. She shook herself out of her reverie, a slight blush coming to her cheeks at the naughty thoughts creeping up. "Well! I will leave you to it!" Kelley ran out of the door before both of them could voice a complaint.

Lianna cleared her throat and smiled lightly "Have a seat" She took her cards out and placed them in front of her. He lazily stepped forward and sat into his chair and stared back at her from across the table. "Please shuffle the deck and once you feel the urge to stop place them down on the table and cut the deck." She felt flustered. He hadn't said a word since he has come in. He seemed rather withdrawn, thinking deeply to himself. She wondered what he was thinking.

Her deck wasn't anything overtly fancy. It was a robin wood deck that she became attached to the day she bought it. the imaged spoke to her as much as the symbols did. he cut the deck and she placed her hands on the table relaxing a bit.

"divide the deck into three stacks". She watched his hands as he divided the deck. Manly well tended hands. She wondered what they would feel like caressing her body-.

She shook her head. Trying to take the erotic images away as she lifted the first card from the deck.

"This card represents you"
