Chapter Nineteen

“I want to kiss you, Olivia,” Anthony said.

Anticipation caused a delicious warmth to travel through Olivia’s body. She wanted that as well. Desperately. But forming the words proved difficult. Instead she tipped her face up to his and shifted her right hand until it rested directly above his heart. The rhythm not only excited her but brought a sense of comfort.

Why? She didn’t know. Perhaps because her life at the orphanage had been fraught with uncertainty and her recent actions only added to the sense that she was dangling from a loosely tethered rope. She wasn’t sure where she belonged. A feeling of limbo followed her no matter where she was. She felt present but distant. But being close to Anthony seemed to chase away her fears and demons, leaving her experiencing a sense of home. A sense of belonging.

Foolish, woman, she scolded herself. It was beyond reckless to think such thoughts. Cruel to disillusion oneself with thoughts of them attaining anything more than an exploration of the desire that sparked between them. They lived in different worlds.

Nothing can come of this, the rational voice in her head whispered, but her body was already falling too deep into a state of want to heed the niggling.

His intense gaze dipped to her lips. Slowly, as if unsure if she would bolt like a scared rabbit, he lowered his mouth to hers.

Anticipation swirled through her. She let her eyes drift closed and centered every bit of her mind on the feel of his warm lips brushing against hers. Light. Delicious. Teasing.

He made a noise—a growl of sorts—and the contact shifted. Became stronger.

She kissed him back. Answering with the same hunger he gave. Answering the inner desire that clawed at her like a caged animal who wished to be released from the confines that held it.

Anthony’s hand shifted to her waist, skimmed upward, leaving an indelible warmth and pressure in its path. His lips parted, causing hers to do the same. Their breaths mingled, then his tongue touched hers.

She stroked her tongue against his. The sensation was pure carnal delight.

He pulled her body tighter to his.

Olivia moaned—a noise of pleasure. Contentment.

His hands slid to her bum, lifting her slightly. Enough for her to feel the hard length under his trousers. She should think it wicked. She should pull back, but her own physical response to the contact was like a potent elixir, possessing the ability to leave her head a bit foggy. Like the feeling when you first wake up—when your body and mind lay somewhere between sleep and consciousness. Unburdened. When the weight of the day ahead is distant, and your limbs are almost weightless. That was what kissing Anthony was like. Yet, all her senses seemed fine-tuned to the feel of his lips, along with the pressure of his large hands. It was as if they were waking her body with every movement. She could even feel the tips of his fingers as they glided up and over her ribs.

If his one hand didn’t stop it would soon find her breast.
