Lizzie was stunned at her bold move initiating the kiss but had assumed it would be a simple expression of gratitude. Seeing him stand at the doorway to her bedroom after giving so much of himself over the past two days, she was grateful but was lying to herself to think that was all it was. Slowly but surely, Scott had settled into a place in her heart, and while it was a risk to kiss him, she was willing to throw caution out the window.

Now, with her body pressed tightly to his, her breasts crushed against his chest, he angled his mouth to cover her lips with his own. As his tongue gently swept into her mouth, she was glad he held her so tightly, uncertain her legs would hold her upright. A moan met her ears, but she had no idea if it was his or hers.

Lost in the sensations of the kiss, she wondered how Scott could make her feel so good after an activity that could have gutted her. He pulled back slightly, and she instantly felt cool where she had only felt the heat. Opening her eyes slowly, her gaze met his. Wondering why he stopped, her stomach clenched at the idea that he did not like the kiss.

It was not as though she had never kissed anyone before, but her experience was limited. The same went for sex. Not a virgin but also not sure that real life matched her romance novels. Swallowing deeply, she pressed her hands against his chest to move away, finding them trapped between their bodies. Tilting her head slightly in question, she stared, not knowing what he expected.

Dragging in a ragged breath, he said, “I’m trying to do the right thing here, Lizzie. All I want to do is kiss you, but the last thing I want to do is take advantage of you.”

His words poured over her, soothing the jagged cracks that had been exposed by her grandfather’s death. Instead of pressing against his chest, her fingers curled inward, clutching his shirt, drawing him nearer. “You’re not taking advantage of me,” she whispered, wondering if he could hear the desperation in her voice. “I want you to kiss me.”

“To forget?” he asked, his voice still rough.

Her lips curved ever-so-slowly as she recognized his own insecurity. Her head moved back and forth in slow motion. “No, to remember. To remember what it’s like to feel wanted and desired. To remember what it’s like to be a woman.” Seeing the fire flame through his eyes, she added, “And, because I want to be kissed by you.”

A squeak emitted from her lips as he squeezed tighter, lifting her into his arms. Freeing her hands from between their chests, she clutched his shoulders as he walked over to her bed. Bending, he gently laid her on the mattress, her head on a pillow, then twisted his body to lie next to her. Sliding one of his arms under her neck, he grasped her hips with his free hand and pulled her toward him.
