He’d kissed her.

Bella sagged against the bathroom door and pressed a trembling hand to her still tingling lips. She still couldn’t believe it. he’d really kissed her. Right there in her shop. Without warning. Just laid one on her.

And had it ever been great, her disjointed thoughts continued. Bella gasped for air and she struggled to get her breathing even. She couldn’t very well waltz back into her salon hyperventilating like this.

Bella leaned her head against the back of the door and looked heavenward for divine intervention, for surely she would need it to recover from the impact of Gray’s kiss.

When his mesmerizing lips had touched hers, Bella had ignited…then slowly melted. Gray knew the exact combination of pressure and softness, of suckling and stroking. He’d been gentle, almost lazy in his caresses, leaving Bella with the impression that he was more interested in savoring the kiss than a prelude to other intimacies.

And when he’d pulled her to him and massaged her neck, Bella had never been more thankful, because she’d lost the ability to stand unassisted. In fact, she was still a little weak-kneed.

Bella sighed. Her body still hummed, still simmered, and she could feel her nipples pucker against the silken fabric of her bra. She looked down and an embarrassed giggle rippled up her throat. The last time that had happened she’d been cold—not aroused.

It suddenly occurred to Bella that, aside from her husband, Gray was the only man she’d ever kissed. She braced herself for the immense guilt of that realization, but to her chagrin felt only a slight remorse.

Then she felt guilty for not feeling guilty.

Shouldn’t she be disappointed in herself for responding to Gray the way she had? Shouldn’t she feel like she’d broken her vows?

Bella stood in the silence for a few minutes and analyze her feelings, her thoughts. Amazingly, she felt more like she’d turned an emotional corner. A certain peace she’d couldn’t name swelled in her, leaving her with a puzzling sense of contentment.

The contentment soon gave way to bewilderment, however; and, despite the many questions firing through her brain, one thing was certain—Gray Cameron no longer simply represented a threat to her physical reawakening. Bella instinctively knew if she let him, he could break her heart.
