Chapter Eight

"Kiss me? Here? Why?"

Her last question was edged in panic and Sarah put her hands up to push him away. But he had hold of her chin and his other hand was curving around the back of her neck, pulling her close.

Unlike yesterday, his fingers weren't punishing and he wore the funniest smile. At once bemused and tender, it tugged at her and she felt herself drawn in.

At first his lips barely touched hers. His taste teased. She could smell mint and the freshness of the breeze this morning that had lifted his hair. The palm she had flattened against his chest picked up his heartbeat. The same rapid rhythm drummed in her own ears. The gentleness of his mouth was a marked contrast. Perhaps that was what made her lean into him. The novelty of his gentleness.

He spread his hand downward from her chin and across the exposed arch of her neck. She knew she was lost when the threat she should have felt wasn't there. Even when the kiss deepened and his thumb caressed the base of her throat, her instinct for self-preservation remained utterly quiet. Instead she felt the sweet rush of anticipation.

"Open up for me, Sarah," he whispered.

She had no idea what he meant until he nudged the line of her mouth with his tongue and shivers raced down her spine. Her knees unlocked. She was falling, spinning, had to hold onto something. The hand on his chest fisted and gripped the front of his shirt.

My God, she thought. Save me.

Zach felt her sway and grabbed her arms, breaking the kiss. He'd barely touched her, yet she looked at him with dazed eyes. He grinned, ignoring a sudden wish to kiss her again. Once appeared to be quite enough.

"Not gay. Got that, Sarah?"

She put her hands to her face in confusion. "You're not happy because you kissed me?"

Her innocence had the most perverse effect on him. Chuckling he whispered a clear definition in her ear. Even with the barest of clinical details, more color flooded her face.

Drawing back, she stared at him, unable to disguise her shock. "But how?"

"I'll leave that up to your imagination," he said.

She blushed to the roots of her hair. It was then he vowed to teach her more than how to kiss, debts, obligations and employment contracts be damned. He would find a way. Sarah was much too innocent for her own good.

Taking her hand, he led her on a detour through the woman's sportswear department. She was so nonplussed by their conversation, she didn't utter a word of protest. He was able to flag down another saleslady, a much younger one this time, and asked her to pick out some everyday clothes for a young woman of twenty-four who wore a perfect size six.

The woman seemed to understand Sarah's style with one assessing look, for she returned with a dozen outfits fashioned, she said, retro-style. A half hour later, Sarah was wearing a flowing burgundy dress that ended in a swirl around her knees.
