He should stop, but the intoxicating sensation of Eliza’s hot breath on Thomas’s face dominated him, and he could think of nothing else. Nothing but kissing her. The world around him stopped and he moved both hands to cup her smooth cheeks as he continued to taste her lips. She pressed into his kiss, moving her own delicate hands to his face. Sampling the sweetness her mouth was the biggest mistake he’d ever made. Just one would never be enough.

Reluctant, Thomas pulled away, aching for more, but knowing he must stop now or he never would. His rapid breathing matched hers and they stared at each other in bewildered silence while the mischievous fire crackled on, as if glad to be the only voyeur.

Her lips parted, her breath catching, and he wanted to believe she was begging him to lean forward and begin again.

Reality suddenly smacked him across the face. The more probable fact was that she was upset by his forwardness. After all, she’d wanted a friend to talk to, not a lover to ravish her.

Before he could do any more damage, he stood and walked to the fireplace, then dropped two more logs on the dying embers. Trying to calm the raging flood in his veins, he stared and laughed inwardly at the sparks that flew in the air. That kiss had generated sparks a hundred times more numerous than the ones popping before him.

“Forgive me, Eliza,” he said, still facing the flames and in as calm as voice as he could manage. “That was dreadfully inappropriate of me.”

He looked over his shoulder. Eliza gripped the shawl around her with such intensity, her knuckles were white, her gaze in her lap. An emotion swept across her face as she peered up at him. She looked hurt.

Fool! Now he’d gone and made it worse. Why couldn’t he have left his emotions where they belonged? She would be all too glad to get away from him as soon as she could. He must stop allowing his heart to direct his actions instead of his head.

“Don’t worry,” he said. “Just because we’re allowing people to think we’re husband and wife doesn’t mean I’ll treat you as such.” He exhaled loud, trying to expel his self-directed anger. “It won’t happen again.”
