Chapter Six

There was no way around it. She was plum crazy. But nothing had felt so good as throwing her arms around Dennis’s broad shoulders and kissing him like the fool she was. Angelica had no idea what made her do it, only that she couldn’t continue to stand there, heart ripping itself to shreds, wondering if Dennis would ever forgive her for the past. Her brain short-circuited, and she went straight from wondering if he would ever give her a second chance, to planting her lips on his and taking that chance.

His body went rigid with surprise as she wrapped herself around him. Because of his height, she had to cling to him in order to balance while slanting her mouth over his. For one terrible moment, she was certain she’d made a complete ass of herself as he just stood there like a rock.

Then he reacted. A deep sigh escaped from his chest, and his muscles loosened. He pulled her into his arms, lifting her nearly off her feet as he embraced her. His lips parted, and instead of her forcing a kiss on him, he melted into her, taking the lead and teasing her lips with his tongue, coaxing her to open up to him.

A tight, desperate sound curled up from the bottom of her anxious soul. Dennis had learned a heck of a lot about kissing in the ten or so years since they’d fumbled through that adolescent make-out session in the lab. His large hands spread across her back, reached down to cup her backside, the energy his touch carried with it demanding and electric. His kiss was heaven itself, far beyond anything she’d dared to dream of.

“Well if that’s not a sight to see, I don’t know what is,” Mrs. Brown’s voice boomed from the doorway.

Angelica gasped as though someone had doused her with ice water and jumped away from Dennis. She spun to face Mrs. Brown so fast that she nearly lost her balance. “Mrs. Brown,” she croaked. “We were just—”

“Oh, I can see what you’re doing, all right, honey,” Mrs. Brown cut her off with a laugh.

“Why’d it get so quiet in there?” Mr. Fellowes asked a moment later, sticking his head through the open front window. He too wore a grin as wide as the sunrise.

Angelica winced, turning it into a smile as well as she could. How stupid was she to throw herself at Dennis when the old folks out on the porch were probably listening to their every word? It wasn’t like the two windows that opened out to the porch where they sat were hidden, even if the curtains hadn’t been taken down yet.

“You caught us,” Dennis said with much more grace and good humor than Angelica could have managed.

“We certainly did, young man,” Mrs. Miniver stuck her head through the other window and made a scolding noise. “Taking advantage of women.” She shook her head. “In my day, Angie’s papa would have called you out for something like that.
