Taking her eyes off her daughter for a moment, Lottie raised her face and gazed up at the sky. She had been hoping that it would have the same effect that it did in Suffolk, and that the feelings of inadequacy and mortification she’d been carrying on her shoulders since waking would magically melt away in the face of its vast indifference.

It might have worked if the sky had been the washed-out grey of yesterday. Unfortunately she was in Iceland, and today the sky was the same brilliant blue as Sóley’s eyes—Ragnar’s too.

Her heart gave a thump and she felt a thumbprint of heat on both cheeks as she thought back to what had happened and what might so easily have happened in the early hours of this morning.

She still couldn’t quite believe that she’d told Ragnar about her father, and about how she felt about Lucas and her mum. But that wasn’t even the worst part. As if blurting out all that wasn’t mortifying enough, she’d then completely lost her mind and kissed him.

Driven by the restless ache that had been turning her inside out, she hadn’t been able to hold back—and she hadn’t wanted him to hold back either.

She’d crossed the line. Not in the sense of winning a race, but by stepping into a no-man’s land where anything could and might happen.

It was just a kiss, she told herself firmly. And yet if the baby monitor hadn’t interrupted them, what then?

Short answer: nothing good.

Her skin twitched as her brain silently offered up a slideshow of herself and Ragnar, their naked bodies a perfect fit as they moved together, breath quickening in a shuddering climax.

Okay, that was a lie.

Sex with Ragnar would be fierce and tender and utterly unforgettable, but that was exactly why she should never have kissed him.

Her heart began beating a little faster. It was tempting to blame her behaviour on tiredness, or the stress of the last few days—to argue that the simmering anger between them had blurred into another kind of intense emotion and so struck a different kind of spark.

And, yes, some of those arguments were plausible, and others were true, but none of them was the reason she had kissed him. That was much more simple.

He had been standing in front of her, close enough that she could feel the heat coming off his skin, close enough that his gaze had made her think of choices, and possibilities, and a never-forgotten night of peerless pleasure.

In other words, she had kissed him because she’d wanted to.

But then he had kissed her back, his mouth parting hers, pressing her closer, until their bodies had been seamless, until she had been frantic and twisting in his arms—

Her face felt hot, the skin suddenly too tight across her cheekbones. She knew she should regret what had happened, and yet she couldn’t—not quite. But that didn’t mean it was going to happen again.

Clearly she and Ragnar had ‘chemistry’. It seemed like such a boring
