Bab 154: Tasting wine

«More than lemon, it's like citron. It becomes bitter after a while,» Rider said, tasting the wine. He waited for Samantha's response with a little anxiety. What if he had just said something stupid?

«Correct!» was the excited response.

«Were you testing me?» he murmured, offended. At the same time, though, he was happy to have passed her examination.

«Not really. I just assumed you didn't know how citron tastes.»

«You're too snobbish sometimes. I am not as rogue as you like to think.»

«Oh, really?»

«Really,» he confirmed. He leaned towards her, a dangerous light in his eyes. «Let me show you my trick to drink the best wine, Mine...»

«What?» Samantha murmured. Half of her was curious about what he meant, but she knew it was most likely all a trap.

His lips leaned on hers, and he tasted that expensive, high-quality wine with a new interest. Her scent and taste were better than anything else; he couldn't help but want more.
