Zane took her hand and helped her
from the car after opening her door. He’d done that all night, and while she
hadn’t needed it, she found she loved it. He didn’t let her go even as they
strolled up the walkway to her front door, pausing on her front porch. She
missed the warmth of his hand immediately when she had to dig her keys from her
purse.
Except for hugs from family and
friends, it had been a while since anyone touched her. Until tonight.
It had been much longer since
anyone had awoken the kind of feelings she was experiencing right now, the
zinging along her nerve endings, the weakness in the fronts of her thighs that
she suspected had nothing to do with emotion and everything to do with him.
It’s
okay, she thought, desperate to keep her eyes down on her task of digging
in her purse though her keys were right there in sight, glinting under her
porch light. He’s my fucking celebrity
crush, of course I’m going to respond. It doesn’t mean anything.
“I want to kiss you,” he said, and
she sucked in a breath and looked up at him in astonishment, keys forgotten. He
was so close, so beautiful, something that could have formed from the
surrounding shadows to steal her heart away. “But I won’t.” Even as reason
coupled with disappointment flooded her, her involuntary reaction was to wet
her lips. She could swear he noticed the response; his eyes darkened. “Unless
you want me to.”
She did. God help her, she did. But
. . . “It can’t mean anything,” she whispered.
“It doesn’t have to.”
She could do that, right? Just a
kiss. A onetime, once-in-a-lifetime kiss. Maybe she was wrong and the chemistry
wouldn’t be there. She would know it once and for all, no wondering “what if”
after he went back home, no staying up nights imagining what he tasted like,
knowing she’d had her chance to find out and refused it. “Okay,” she said, but
since she figured he could barely hear her trembling voice, she nodded as well.
He stepped in. Rowan nearly jumped
when the tips of his fingers tilted her chin up to receive him; he touched her
nowhere else. At least not until he leaned forward, nestling his nose next to
hers as his lips caught hers gently, sweetly. A shiver worked along her spine,
raising the hair at her nape.
So much for no chemistry.
She wanted to open, to invite him
deeper, but even as his fingertips slid toward her ear until he cupped her jaw
in his palm, he only teased at her lips with his own. A touch, a brush. The
sweetness of their shared dessert a ghost on his breath, he didn’t quest for
any sort of entry, so careful not to do so that something broke in her weakly
thudding heart, flooding her with heat.
Oh,
fuck.
“His other hand grasped the
doorframe beside her head; his beard tickled her delicate skin. Rowan’s hands
ached to crawl up his body, but she clenched them tightly at her sides against
the need, her nails biting crescent moons into her palms. This, just this. It was all she had to give right now.
Zane pulled away only slightly, his
warm breath soft against her tingling lips. He’d barely touched her, barely
even given her that taste of him. She wanted more, longed to drag him to her
and take it, but when he stepped back, she had to let him. The tip of his thumb
traced the line of her jaw all the way to her chin as he drew his hand away.
