Angus Firth had been kissed by women before. Many women. Kissing was something he enjoyed. He also thought that he was pretty good at it.

This, though, wasn’t a kiss like he’d ever experienced.

Misty’s kiss landed on his mouth. She possibly hadn’t intended that. He must have moved his head. Maybe she’d aimed for a brush against his cheek, the sort of kiss a friend might offer in greeting or farewell. Or in thanks for a gift?

That’s what it was meant to be, surely. He’d just organised a break for her, time out from an impossible situation, so a brief, formal kiss was acceptable.

Except this kiss was nothing like that.

Because, with a formal kiss, his hands should have stayed by his sides. The kiss should have been a brush of contact, and then both sides would withdraw. But almost instinctively—it must have been instinct—his hands caught her waist and then the brush of her lips on his mouth became something else entirely.

But this wasn’t a seductive prelude to sexual attraction. It was...it was...

Okay, he didn’t know what it was. All he knew was that suddenly he was holding her, tugging her body against him and kissing her in return. In response, almost unbelievably, her hands slid around his neck and the kiss deepened.

And the sensation...

He felt as though he’d come home.

The concept was so bizarre that it almost overwhelmed him. He felt light-headed. Spacey. As though this was an out-of-body experience.

Home? What was he thinking?

Home was a house back in Melbourne, or a duffel bag of gear at a surfer’s hotel, or even the sanctuary of his sparse consulting rooms at work. It certainly wasn’t in the arms of this weary, overwhelmed woman.

And she was weary and she was overwhelmed, so he had no right, no business, no reason, to be kissing her. To be holding her with tenderness. To be feeling tenderness in return.

There was no reason at all to be kissing her like this.

There was no reason at all to feel as though here was home.
