Chapter Sixteen

It was so unexpected, she almost fell back, but he had her. His big warm arms tightened, and Kenna relaxed into a kiss she could never have dreamed up. She’d been prepared for heat. Honestly, there wasn’t a conscious female who wouldn’t notice the heat of Travis McNulty and wow, the man had a mouth. The heat was expected.

What she hadn’t expected, what was currently liquefying her bones, was the tenderness. The way his fingers played with her hair and teased her face. The gentle caress of his lips or the slow dip of his tongue. She and Travis were famous for their banter, but this was more like a whisper. A soft, easy murmur. A sharing of feeling, not just lust. Kenna was lost in the tenderness. His flattened palm smoothed down her spine, and she felt like she was on one of those rides at the fair where the bottom dropped out. Her heart was in her throat just like that. She should have stopped, pulled away, but he was such a surprise that she didn’t want to move. Instead, she wanted to learn more, get a closer look.

“I—I’m sorry about that.” He slowly pulled away and appeared to be searching her eyes.

It was not possible that the man didn’t know the voltage of a kiss like that. Could he possibly need to check for impact?

“Oh, don’t be, but just to be clear, what exactly was that?”

“Huh, maybe I did it wrong.” He pulled her back in.

“No, no, I’m pretty sure you did it right,” she said, laughing.

Travis grinned, still holding her.

“Where did that come from?”

“I wanted to kiss you. You didn’t pull away or smack me, so I kissed you.”

“Right, why?”

“Now that’s a more complicated question.”

“Sort of like the lunch box?”

“Yeah.”

“And you’re not about complicated, right?”

“Right. Well, maybe. What was the question again?”

Makenna stepped back. She needed to get her head on straight because this was real. It wasn’t some dream or a date with some dog guy from online. This was Travis, her brother’s best friend, a guy she worked with. Oh crap, wasn’t she just saying she had enough to keep her busy? Okay, it was okay, she could fix this. “It was just a kiss.”

“I’m not sure I’d call that just a kiss,” Travis said.

Damn it, why did she keep saying things out loud? Was that one of the first signs of insanity? Maybe Paige could Google that for her when they got home. Paige . . . she needed to leave, now. Makenna grabbed her laptop, threw her purse over her shoulder, and quickly looked at her phone. “Listen, I was super weird today and I’m sorry. I’m sure you do this help-the-damsel-in-distress thing all the time and you were . . . being nice.”

“Actually, I definitely do not do that all the time and nice? Are you telling me that was nice?”

Kenna held her laptop to her chest, begging for something to magically transport her to her car. “No, it was, that kiss was, not nice.
