Excerpt

       Kaz put his hands on her shoulders. Sabrina shut her eyes and hoped he didn’t feel the zing of adrenaline that shot through her when his fingers touched her skin. And was grateful that he couldn’t see the blush of embarrassment that flushed her cheeks. Goose bumps lifted along her arms as something more, some feeling she had no word for, rushed into her.
“Are you cold, Sabrina?”
“No,” was all she could utter.
She really was losing her mind. The guy hadn’t had his hands on her for more than thirty seconds and already he’d shocked feelings through her that made no sense. She’d been touched by muscled, athletic stuntmen during film shoots, by lovers over the years, by Derrick—who’d be her lover if she let him—but no man’s touch had created such a deep, immediate and mysterious effect.
He ran his fingertips along her shoulders. She tried to suppress the rising shiver.
“Your back, your spine, your glutes, those are your power sources.” He pressed along her muscles, his fingers streaming unsettling energy as he moved closer to the nape of her neck. “Along with your core. But we’ll address your abdominal muscles when we go back inside.”
The image of him observing her belly sent another shock of heat into her core. And lower. That sensation she did have words for—desire, hot and insistent. She wondered if he knew.
 He pressed under the blade of her injured shoulder and the pain made her wince, had her tensing, guarding.
“See if you can breathe into this, Sabrina. I promise not to hurt you.”
She inhaled as he pressed his fingers gently into the knotted muscles under her shoulder blade. Then he pressed on both sides of her shoulders at a point where the sensation was nearly unbearable, even though his touch was light. The near-painful feeling kept her mind off the twinge of hot wanting she was trying to ignore.
Maybe it’d just been too long since she’d had a lover. Maybe she should share Derrick’s bed. But something had kept her from crossing that line with him. He might be her co-star, mentor of sorts, and friend, but she wasn’t as ready as he was to add lover to the list.
Kaz traced his fingers down her arms, stroked along her forearms to her fingertips.

She shivered with a mixture of pleasure and wariness. Mostly wariness.


***
She took the sword from him. It wasn’t as heavy as it looked, maybe three pounds.
“The sword is said to hold the soul of the samurai who wields it. Put your soul into it, Sabrina.”
She raised the sword with both hands and whirled. The sword, though not heavy, drew her full circle, as if it had a life of its own. But more astonishing, she realized she’d raised her injured arm. Used her injured arm.
Giddy with joy, she lowered the sword and hugged Kaz. “Alex was right: you are a wizard.” She tilted her face to look up at him, felt his heart beating against her chest.
He didn’t pull away. His heartbeat raced, matching her own. What had begun as a joyous, spontaneous hug had quickly changed. His eyes searched hers.
 She rose to her tiptoes, wrapped her free arm around his neck and drew his head toward hers.
And relived the kiss from her dream.
