* * *

Wes was kissing her. Under the mistletoe, and only to ward off bad luck, but it was still a kiss.

A fantastic one.

The best one ever?

She’d need more to know for sure.

As his lips moved over hers, Paige arched against him, wanting to bridge what small space remained between them. She tasted a tantalizing combination of heat, salt, and chocolate that had her wanting more.

Just a mistletoe kiss.

Logically, she knew that.

A holiday tradition.

She knew that, too.

They were only playing along.

Nothing more.

But kissing him was like…magic.

Pleasurable sensations pulsed through Paige. She relished each tingle, every chill, losing herself in the moment.

In him.

She splayed her hand, the fabric of his jacket brushing against her palm.

Solid and strong.

A moan sounded.

She froze.

Wait. Was that her?

Heat flooded her face.

What was she doing?

Paige jerked back, but she didn’t get far with Wes’s arm around her.

Her lips no longer touched Wes’s, but their faces were close. Not quite kissing distance, but if she moved forward an inch…

He stared at her. His breathing appeared to be as ragged as hers.

His friends clapped and cheered.

Ugh. This was one side of his friends she didn’t appreciate. Given Wes’s frown, he likely agreed.

“Some kiss,” Blaise said.

Mason laughed. “Plus-one for the win.”

“And my streak continues.” Henry beamed.

Paige’s cheeks burned. She forced herself not to cringe or hunch her shoulders. Standing in the center of the dance floor left her no place to hide from the curious stares of strangers or people she hardly knew. Her muscles tensed. She struggled against the fight-or-flight instinct trying to take over.

She was used to being in front of other doctors or speaking at medical conferences, but that was different. She hated this kind of attention. And she didn’t appreciate others turning something so personal—so precious and intimate—into a joke with her and Wes as the punchline.

Not right.

Especially when she had no idea what had happened.

It was a kiss.

Just a kiss.

Except the kiss felt like so much more.

Did he feel the same way as her? Or was he thinking about Annabelle?

That thought doused Paige like a bucket of ice water.

His and his ex-girlfriend’s words from earlier pounded in her head. That told Paige exactly what this kiss meant to him.

N-O-T-H-I-N-G.

Time to regain control and forget the kiss.

Tomorrow she could forget him.

Paige inhaled, hoping to slow her heart rate and pulse, but all she got was a whiff of Wes’s scent, tickling her nose and making her want another kiss.

Ugh.

This was so not good.

“Kudos,” Henry said. “Now get out of the way so others can try to up your silver screen romantic kiss.”

She was happy to step aside, so she shrugged out of Wes’s grasp to let Brett and Laurel take their place under the mistletoe.

Guess that was the popular spot tonight.

Paige wasn’t one for regrets, but a part of her wished she hadn’t kissed Wes. She had a feeling all future kisses would be judged against his.

“Let’s sit.” Wes sounded calm as if the kiss had been no big deal, when he’d redefined her definition of a kiss.
