CHAPTER ELEVEN

She was a complete fool.

Maren pressed shaking fingers against her temples and tried to slow her hammering heart. She’d told herself not to get sucked back under by him, but it was happening all over again. One look, one touch, and she was putty in his arms.

And what was worse was that she wanted it, wanted him. Not just for a fling like he’d proposed only days ago; she wanted him back for good. And she hated herself for feeling that way again, because Thad Leighton was exactly like her father. He didn’t do happily ever after. He’d said as much. He’d proved it to her nine years ago.

She was so lost in her thoughts, she didn’t hear Thad behind her until it was too late. His strong arms turned her to face him. “Maren—”

“I’m not falling for this again,” she said in a shaky voice she tried to mask with strength.

His fingers slid into her hair, and before she realized what he was doing, he stepped close, lowered his head, and brushed his mouth against hers.

Every protest died on her lips. He slid his tongue along her mouth, and she opened to him without even thinking. Warmth enveloped her. Consumed her. He dipped into her mouth, tangled his tongue with hers in a dance that sent a shiver all through her body. Then his arms came around her, pulling her so close she couldn’t tell where she stopped and he began.

She’d never been able to forget the taste of him. It was ingrained in her mind, etched in her soul. And now that she was in his arms again, his body pressed up tight to hers, she only wanted more.

Common sense told her to walk away, but desire clamped its hand around her, cementing her in her spot. Her arms slid around his waist as she tipped her head to deepen the kiss, her body demanding more with every tender touch. A wanting ache clenched her heart with each soft stroke of his tongue and gentle graze from his fingertips.

Reality didn’t settle in until those tempting lips of his broke the kiss. With her eyes still closed, she drew in a long breath and tried to steady her quaking heart. He kissed her jaw, trailed his lips across her cheek, paused at her temple, and held her tight against him.

And oh, man… Unlike the frantic way he’d kissed her during that storm, this was sweet, gentle, so completely seductive, it dragged her right to the edge. She was in too deep. A breath away from losing herself and melting against him, giving in and giving him everything he wanted. A hair away from losing herself in the process.

She braced both hands against his chest. “Thad, don’t.”

“There’s something you need to know, Maren.”

He slid his hands back into her hair and tipped her face up to his. And when her gaze locked on his, when she saw the tender look in his dark-as-night eyes, her heart beat furiously beneath her breast.
