"First Sight"

Awww, the first time you lay eyes on a certain someone who made your heart skip a beat, your lips parted while you sucked in a breath and other parts of your body tingled.

We all have experienced this erotic sense. Remember your First Sight when you are gazing into the eyes of your certain someone on Valentine's Day.

Today we share when Dylan first saw Rainie in our latest release Rainie's Lake.

Waking up early the next morning, Dylan doesn’t want to miss the best time of the day to fish. He grabs his coat to get a few logs from beside the porch and starts a fire to take the chill out of the cabin. Laying his coat over the back of a chair, he makes a pot of coffee, and looks out the kitchen window. To his disappointment, a thick fog has rolled over the lake. Damn! Well, now I’ll have to wait until the fog lifts. The fire crackles as it burns and the smell of pine drifts in the air. He stands before the fire, and contemplates about drawing until noon. Nah, I’ll just take a walk around outside. When the coffee is ready, he dons the coat again and heads out onto the back deck, steaming cup in hand.

As he looks around, his gaze lands on a slim figure standing by the shore not too far from the dock. The fog is so thick he can’t see whether it’s male or female.

“Hello?” Dylan calls out and goes down the steps. As the pine needles crunch beneath his boots, he hopes whoever it is hears him approaching.

As he gets closer, the person turns towards him.

Dylan is taken aback.

It’s a woman. The most beautiful woman he’s ever seen in his life. Her green eyes sparkle in contrast to her long dark hair. She smiles back at him.

“Hi, I’m Dylan Bishop. I’m staying at the cabin.” He points behind him. “Are you from around here? Sorry I’m babbling. I didn’t expect to see anyone here.”

Her soft laugh is like music. “I’m Rainie Marks. Glad to meet you. And to answer your question, yes, I grew up in the next town.”

“I was hoping to take the boat out and do some fishing this morning.” Dylan attempts to keep her in a conversation. God, she’s so beautiful.

“There’s usually a heavy fog in the mornings on the lake. I like to walk around the shore at daybreak. This is my favorite place to stand and just take it all in.” Rainie widens her arms out to emphasize her meaning but then quickly pulls her arms back around her chest. “The fog also causes the temperatures to drop.”

Pulling his coat tighter around him, Dylan feels the cold dampness. “Hey, I just brewed coffee. Would you like a cup? Come on up to the cabin where it’s warm.”

He notices her skeptical expression. “We can sit on the deck if you feel more comfortable staying outside.”

“I think I can trust you, Dylan Bishop. Coffee sounds good.” Her smile is more in her eyes than on her lips as she steps over to walk beside him.
