Chapter 13

Though he tried to hold on to it as long as he could, Jonah found that the euphoria between them receded all too soon. As he listened to her breathing become steadier, quieter, Jonah leaned in and pressed a kiss to the top of her head.

Maggie stirred and stretched against him, then turned to look up at him quizzically.

She appeared just as stunned as he felt. Smiling, he gently swept her hair out of her face. “That was a surprise,” he told her.

Maggie drew herself up on her elbow and gazed at him, bemused. “Did you expect me to start throwing things at you?”

“No, of course not,” he responded, searching his brain for the right way to put his thoughts into words. “I just didn’t expect...” His voice trailed off and then he finally said, “for all this to happen.”

“And now you’re regretting it?” she guessed, bracing herself for the disappointment she knew would come if he hinted at that.

Jonah’s dark eyebrows drew together in utter confusion that she should think something like that.

“Oh hell no,” he told Maggie. “I just didn’t want you to feel overwhelmed—” That didn’t come out right. “I mean—”

She smiled at him. He was concerned that he had imposed his will on her, she realized. The man was incredibly sweet.

“I know what you mean,” she said, stopping him. “And trust me, Jonah, if I didn’t want this to happen, it wouldn’t have. I know how to take care of myself, and you,” she emphasized with a grin, “don’t strike me as being a Neanderthal.”

“I’m not,” he agreed with feeling.

Her eyes smiled before her mouth even began to curve. “I know.”

“So you’re okay with what happened?” Jonah asked, searching her face and wanting to be totally sure that they really were on the same page.

“I’m better than okay,” Maggie assured him, snuggling up in the crook of his arm.

Jonah grinned. “Well, in that case...” His voice trailed off provocatively.

She raised herself up on her elbow again, tantalized by what she heard in his voice. “Just what did you have in mind?”

The expression in his eyes was positively nothing short of wicked. “Guess,” he challenged.

Her pulse sped up again, going into double time. “You’ll have to give me a hint,” she teased.

Jonah leaned in and kissed her, a wave of unbridled passion beginning to churn within him in a matter of seconds. It was hard to hold himself in check.

She was practically breathless when he drew his lips away. Taking a second to collect herself, Maggie whispered, “I’m going to need more of a hint than that.”

He pulled her to him, her back sliding along the sheets.

“More of a hint coming up,” he told her just before he sealed his mouth over hers again.
