Chapter Twelve

Faith stared at Graham’s back and tried to make sense of what had just happened. He’d been ready to kiss her. She’d been absolutely—okay, nearly—sure of that when he’d surged to his feet like a scalded cat.

She’d been ready to slink down the stairs when he’d turned back and flashed her a smile that had her heart pitter-pattering.

In a matter of seconds, he was back and sitting beside her, his arm around her.

“Why did you leave?”

He flashed a rueful smile. “I remembered the two little girls just down the hall. Once they’re asleep, they’re down for the count. But sometimes they lie there and talk, then get up and want a drink of water. I wanted to make sure we wouldn’t have to worry about being disturbed.”

The pitter-patter became a salsa rhythm. “You don’t want them to overhear our conversation?”

He trailed a finger down her face. “Not conversation, but this.”

His mouth closed over hers, and every fiber of her being broke into the Hallelujah Chorus. It was as if she was starved and hadn’t realized it until this moment.

The kiss might have started out sweet, but the underlying fire set her insides to blazing. She pressed herself against him, not able to get close enough.

His tongue swept her lips, and her mouth opened to his probing tongue. It was as if he was inside her already, and she wanted him there with a desperation she’d never felt.

They kissed like that for the longest time. When his hand slipped under her shirt to unclasp her bra, she wanted to weep with relief. His fingers, ah, those magic fingers soon had her breasts aching with need. She wanted his mouth on her. Needed his mouth on her.

But when he pushed up the hem of her shirt, she shook her head. “Not out here.”

Her voice, raspy and raw with need, captured his attention.

“Your bedroom. There’s a lock.”

Regardless of what he’d said about the twins being sound sleepers, Faith wasn’t going to risk them seeing something they shouldn’t see.

“Let’s go.” He took her hand, and they stumbled against each other in the tiny hallway, stifling their laughter.

Only when the door was firmly locked did Faith remember there was one other thing. “Condoms? I’m not on the pill.”

The blank look on his face for that single second had her heart plummeting.

Then his expression cleared. “Give me a moment.”

He rummaged through his dresser drawer and pulled out several foil packets.

“Are they still good?” Faith lifted the packets from his fingers and read the date on the foil wrapper. “Looks like we’re covered.”

Brushing her hair back from her face, he kissed her on the mouth with such intensity Faith’s knees went weak. She found herself clinging to him as need and desire merged to become an inferno.

Stepping back, she pulled the shirt over her head and tossed the unclasped bra off to the side. “Now that’s out of the way.”

He stared at her breasts with their peach-colored nipples and taut tips. “You take my breath away.”

She crooked her finger.
