Chapter Six

Though Owen’s crying awakened Lucy the next morning, a flood of joy enveloped her when she opened her eyes. Seth had kissed her the night before! She rolled out of bed to get her hungry son, unable to stop the flow of happiness that poured through her.

But lifting Owen from his crib, she reminded herself that being joyful over that kiss wasn’t necessarily good. She might be happy that Seth had kissed her, but she was also smart enough to know she shouldn’t make too much of it. First, the circumstances in which he had kissed her had been charged with emotion. Second, the kiss had sealed a bond of sorts. The soft, sweet joining of their mouths hadn’t been an expression of love as much as a commitment to work together.

That was the way she needed to view it. They’d been honest with each other for the first time since her arrival at his house and they’d formed a team of sorts. The kiss had been merely a way to seal their deal. They weren’t about to get involved again. Otherwise, he would have taken the kiss further, deepened it, made it one of the passionate, romantic kisses they had shared when they’d thought they had a future. But he hadn’t. He had said good-night and run out of the bedroom.

If she thought he’d meant anything but a sealing of their commitment, Seth could break her heart. But more than that, she would be foolish to consider getting involved again. Seth may not have dumped her, but he hated her country and the monarchy to which she belonged. She had to remember that.

After changing Owen, Lucy took him downstairs to get a bottle. When she reached the back steps to the kitchen, she smelled the tantalizing aroma of bacon and knew Seth had awakened before her and was already making good on their agreement to work together.

Stepping off the bottom step, she said, “Good morning.”

He turned from the stove, spatula in hand and smiled at her. Obviously not wanting to fry bacon in a suit and tie, Seth hadn’t yet dressed for work but wore jeans and a sweatshirt. His short sandy brown hair was sexily tousled. His eyelids still drooped from need of sleep. But even the most handsome European prince had never looked as good to her as Seth looked right now.

Lucy’s heart stumbled in her chest. The kiss they’d shared the night before came back in vivid detail in her mind, and she realized something important. With the desire that always simmered between them, it was surprising that they’d shared such a simple kiss. Even the day they’d met, they hadn’t had a first kiss filled with expectancy and emotion. They’d shared a lust kiss. Every subsequent kiss they’d shared had been a promise of passion to come or an expression of passion.

But last night’s kiss had been filled with expectancy and emotion. In that soft meeting of mouths that didn’t make assumptions or push for things that couldn’t be, Seth had told her that he liked her.
