T hat guilty little voice inside Liv was shouting, Don’t do it, Liv! But by then it was already too late. Her arms were around Aaron’s neck and her lips were on his. She was kissing him again, and he was kissing her back. The feel of his mouth, the taste of him, was already as familiar as it was exciting and new. Maybe because she’d spent most of the night before reliving the first kiss and fantasizing what it would feel like to do it again. Now she knew. And it was even better than she remembered. Better than she could ever have imagined.Aaron cupped her face in his hands, stroking her cheeks, her throat, threading his fingers through her hair. She hooked her legs around his back, drawing him closer, clinging to him. She might have been embarrassed by her brazen behavior, but she felt too hot and needy with desire to care. She needed to feel him. She just plain needed him. Nothing in her life had ever felt this good, this…right. She hadn’t even known it was possible to feel this way. And she wanted more—wanted it all. Even though she wasn’t completely sure what it was yet. Was this just physical, or was there more to it?

Of course not. What did she think, they were going to have some sort of relationship? She didn’t want that any more than he did. Her work was too important to her.

That didn’t mean they couldn’t have a little fun.

She tugged the tail of his flannel from the waist of his jeans, but he grabbed her hands and broke the kiss, saying in a husky voice, “We can’t.”

Shame burned her cheeks. Of course they couldn’t. Hadn’t she just told him that very same thing? What the hell had she been thinking? Why, the instant she was near him, did she seem to lose all concept of right and wrong?

She jerked her hands free and rolled the chair backward, away from him. “You’re right. I’m sorry. I don’t know what I was thinking. This isn’t like me at all.”

He looked puzzled for a moment, then he grinned and said, “I don’t mean ever. I just meant that we can’t here. Any minute now Geoffrey is going to walk through that door with your coffee, not to mention the lab assistant who’s due here this morning.”

“Oh, right,” she said, feeling, of all things, relieved. When what she should have felt was ashamed of herself, and regretful for once again betraying William. Although, as Aaron had pointed out, she and William weren’t technically a couple.

You’re rationalizing, Liv. When there was absolutely nothing rational about this scenario. This was not the way the world was supposed to work. Brainy, orphaned scientists did not have flings with rich, handsome princes. No matter what the storybooks said.

Nothing that felt this wonderful could possibly be good for her.

“We can’t do this again,” she told him. “Ever.”

Aaron sighed. “We’re back to that again?”

“It’s wrong.”

Aaron rose from his knees and tucked his shirt back in.
