Oh, God—Seth was kissing her. And somehow, it was the truth.

Because the truth was, she wanted him to kiss her and more than that, she wanted to kiss him back.

How had she thought that she could talk herself out of this need? God knew she’d tried. For a whole week, she’d diligently reasoned that it didn’t make sense to fall into bed with Seth Bolton. It was a bad idea and the list of reasons why was long. Safer to keep their relationship strictly platonic.

In fact, she had gotten up this morning determined not to let things get to this point. But now that they were here—now that he was brushing his lips over hers, soft and gentle and asking for permission...

She sighed into his mouth and wrapped her arms around his waist. However many reasons there were not to do this, none of them trumped the simple fact that she wanted Seth. She wanted to hold on to this last chance to be Kate Burroughs before her identity was redefined by motherhood. She wanted her baby, but she didn’t want to lose herself, either.

So she kissed him back. She opened her mouth for him and slid her tongue along the seam of his lips and thrilled at the groan of desire that rumbled out of his chest. She pressed her body to his and let the warmth of his solid muscles sink into her skin.

She stopped trying to fight this desire. She stopped trying to fight herself.

Seth was the one who broke the kiss. He pulled back and rested his forehead against hers, his chest rising and falling rapidly. “I shouldn’t have kissed you,” he said, his words coming out in a rush. “But I can’t regret it.”

This was it, her last chance to stop this madness before it consumed her.

Too damned bad she wanted to be consumed. “Yes, you should’ve.”

He gave her a quizzical look. “Was I reading you wrong? I thought you weren’t interested.”

She had tried so hard not to be. “Seth, this is a bad idea.” His face fell. “But that doesn’t mean I’m not interested. I don’t want to be interested in you. My life is complicated enough. But I can’t help wanting you.”

Dimly, she was aware that they were locked in an embrace inside a stranger’s home. True, the home had been unoccupied for months. But ethically, she was pushing her luck. “We need to leave.”

He nodded and stepped back, but he didn’t let go of her. Instead, his arm slid down around her waist and he held her tight to his side. “Where do you want to go? Dinner or...”

She would need to eat—eventually. But she needed him more. “Or?”

He guided her toward the door. “What about your place?”

She hesitated. It was such a small apartment. She knew she shouldn’t be embarrassed for him to see it—it was clean and neat. But after spending the day in some of the nicer homes in Rapid City, her apartment would look pathetic in comparison.
