CHAPTER NINETEEN

Liam made sure there were no more kisses in the bar or during their drive back to the inn.

He should apologize to Christie for losing control like that, for taking something she hadn’t offered. But how the hell could he ever be sorry about kissing her? She was softer, sweeter than any woman had ever been…and he wanted her more than he’d ever known it was possible to want anyone or anything.

Even though the way she’d flat-out asked him to tell her his secrets had cut straight to the core of him. Almost as if she knew things that she couldn’t possibly know.

“Liam?”

She said his name as they were getting out of his car in the employee lot behind the inn. The moon was barely a sliver, and it was dark. So dark he should have been safe stealing another glance at her beauty in the car’s lights without being caught out as a thief.

“Are you sorry you kissed me?”

He should have known she would ask him something like that, the exact question no one else would dare say aloud.

Liam tried to remind himself that she couldn’t possibly be the open book she seemed to be—the same reminder he’d been repeating to himself for days. Only this time, with the taste of her kiss still on his lips, though she still hadn’t come completely clean with him about Wesley, he just couldn’t get himself to believe it.

He opened his mouth to say yes, they shouldn’t have kissed. But the lie wouldn’t come. “No, I’m not sorry. Are you?”

“How could I possibly regret that kiss?”

He should have had an answer for her. Should have been able to clearly, and definitively, lay out all the reasons they shouldn’t get involved. But somehow, being with Christie felt inevitable. From that first moment he’d seen her at Sarah and Calvin’s wedding, he’d been inexplicably drawn to her. And no matter how many times he tried to pull away, in the end he’d found he couldn’t actually do it.

Not even when she moved closer, so close that he swore he could almost hear her heart beating as she said, “Would you please kiss me again?”

Sweet Lord. No one had ever asked him to kiss her like that. With such honest desire. No wonder his bartender friend had given up his drink recipe to her. Christie was irresistible.

And then she was putting her hands over his shoulders and tilting her mouth up to his—and even the strongest man in the world couldn’t have stopped himself from kissing her again.

Her lips were soft, and she tasted like a mixture of the syrup in her drink and something that was uniquely Christie. One kiss wasn’t nearly enough, so he kept going back for one more, and then another, and another after that.

How could anyone taste this good? How could anyone be this pure, this giving?

He couldn’t keep his hands from gripping her tighter, from dragging her closer. Couldn’t stop his heart from racing faster and faster as she made little sounds of pleasure, of joy, that shot right through to the center of him.
