Brad

He was stunned into stillness for a heartbeat.

Then he kissed her back.

He’d been thinking how beautiful she was with the sunlight dappling her skin, the wind ruffling her hair, the laughter dancing in her eyes. He’d been thinking how much he wanted to kiss her, how hard it was becoming to resist the urge.

And now she’d just tugged him to the side of the path, had pressed her soft, curvy body to his, and kissed him.

His lips parted automatically, his tongue sweeping forward to tangle with hers, tasting the faint hint of coffee and chocolate and banana on her tongue—the woman was obsessed with those muffins, and he was going to do his damndest to keep up with her demand for them. But it wasn’t off-putting, even though he wasn’t a big fan of either chocolate or banana. Instead . . . it was coming home. It was Heidi.

It was perfect.

So perfect, in fact, that he’d dipped his hands under her shirt, fingertips brushing the silken skin of her abdomen on the appetizer to heading north when he felt a tap on his shoulder.

“You can’t do that here,” the female voice said.

He pulled back, blinked dazedly as he turned, trying to get his bearings. “I’m sorry, what?”

His vision cleared enough to remind him where he was, for him to see that it wasn’t just a woman standing behind them, but a guard with an official badge and uniform and intense-looking duty belt.

The guard lifted an eyebrow. “I’d suggest you either start your tour, or you end it.”

Heidi giggled—one pure burst of sound that had Brad fighting back a smile. “I’m sorry,” he said. “We’ll go get started.”

The guard nodded. “Carry on—” Her eyes narrowed. “Well, not carry on”—she waved a hand—“but please, proceed with touring the facility.”

Another tiny giggle that did nothing for his self-control, but he managed to stumble out another apology, to tug a chortling Heidi up the path and away from the guard, all without them getting thrown in the brig or finding themselves packed onto the next ferry back to the mainland.

“Your fault,” he muttered.

“Yours.” A beat. “You need to stop being so charming.”

“I can’t help it,” he said. “It’s a gift.”

“One the entire world gets to benefit from?” she asked archly.

“Exactly.” He stopped just past the turnstile after they’d paid for their tickets and glared down at her. “But as for the point at hand, I seem to remember you as the one doing the kissing.”

She sidled closer. “I seem to remember you kissing me back.”

Well, she had him there.

“Come on,” he said, instead of conceding the point. They picked up their audio guide—Heidi had wisely opted out of his tour—then put on their headphones as they walked into the first room.

Cavernous. Cold. Gloomy.

He hated it instantly, and the audio of the tour wasn’t much better, adding to the oppressiveness of the place, making him regret that he’d even thought to bring her here, especially on a date.

She slipped her headphones off, glancing around the room, eyes dimmed.
