Home for the Holidays

Dumbfounded into silence for the first time in his life, Jeffrey was left wondering what to do as Paulette Hamilton Reeves, the Countess of Cashelmore, entered the sitting room.

“Paulette!” Yvette fairly flew across the room to her sister’s outstretched arms amid squeals of delight. They hugged each other tightly. Jeffrey moved toward them, attempting to shake off what had just happened between Yvette and him.

And not succeeding.

He’d kissed Yvette Hamilton, for Christ’s sake! He’d only meant to romance her a little, sweep her away from Lord Shelley, to make her see how wrong the man was for her. He hadn’t meant to take advantage of her in any way. But when the moment happened he had been powerless to stop it. Not when she looked up at him with her big blue eyes, her lips trembling, and asked him to kiss her. God, but she was a tempting sight. No man on earth could have refused her.

The kiss they had just shared had been like no other. It had left him feeling . . .

But Yvette was not for him! He had promised to watch over her, to protect her, and keep her safe. He had no business at all kissing her as passionately as he had!

Never had he felt so elated and so terribly wretched at the same time.

Not that he had thought of anything else but kissing her during the last few months since Lucien and Colette had been away. At times, all he could think of was kissing her. And Yvette had asked him to kiss her. God help him, how could he refuse such an offer? Christ, but she looked so irresistible when she had asked him. And he had wanted to make her feel something. Something, anything, she hadn’t felt when she kissed Lord Shelley. A girl like Yvette deserved to be kissed passionately.

And she had been astonishingly warm and sensuous, seductively responsive to him. She had fit so perfectly in his arms, he never wanted to let her go.

But what stunned him more than anything else was how he had felt while kissing her. He had grown weak-kneed and breathless. It had been an earth-shattering kiss for him, something he’d never felt before and he didn’t know what to make of it. He’d kissed dozens and dozens of beautiful women in his life and never had one affected him like Yvette Hamilton.

The tears in her eyes almost undid him and he had been on the verge of confessing his feelings for her. Feelings he hadn’t known he had until he’d kissed her. Crazy, wild, tumultuous feelings. Feelings that had him reeling and left him worried. What did Yvette think of him now? Had this kiss changed everything between them? How could it not?

It had been a blessing in disguise that Paulette arrived when she had, for he did not know what would have happened had they been left alone together any longer. It was far too tempting and far too dangerous. For both of them.
