As if she could sense his probing stare, she whipped her face to him. 

His breath was ripped from his lungs. He couldn't breathe as he took in her delicate, pert nose and that rich ruby mouth. But it was her eyes that winded him like a punch to the stomach. 

They were the striking chestnut, shining at him with bright beams of sunlight accentuating the tiny golden flecks in her fleeting gaze. Her long, dark eyelashes fluttered as she lowered her gaze, nearing him for a kiss.
