After dessert, Kate stood to her feet and stretched her arms over her head with a yawn. The heat from the fireplace, her overfilled stomach, and the exhilarating ride through the snow had left her feeling happy and sleepy all at once.

Chris followed her lead and offered her his hand. She took it, one eyebrow quirked. He was being much more affectionate and she couldn’t help enjoying it. Even if it wouldn’t last, it’d been a long time since someone had shown her so much attention.

Her ex-fiancé had never treated her as though she were someone worth spoiling. He hadn’t bought her gifts or showered her with affection. Yet, for some reason, she had believed him when he told her he loved her.

She’d been lonely. Looking for someone to make a family with. He was handsome and charming, and she hadn’t seen just how much he cared about himself or how little he cared for anyone else, including her. Everything they did together had been what he wanted to do—if he wanted to go bowling, they went bowling. It didn’t matter if she’d wanted to see a movie premiere.

Maybe Chris was different.

At first, she’d thought he was too full of himself to be of any use to anyone. But her opinion of him had changed after watching him with his family. He’d thawed since their arrival, in contrast to the weather outside. Time in Montana had been good for him. Perhaps she was good for him too. Whatever it was, she’d begun to see a side of him that was so very different to how he’d seemed at first.

As her hand slid into his, her entire body quivered at his touch. There was a spark of chemistry between them that she couldn’t deny. Even if they had nothing else in common, they shared that.

She couldn’t be sure he felt it too, though the way he was looking at her in the waning firelight made it seem like he’d experienced the same zing as she had when his hand closed around hers.

She caught Frank watching them, and he grinned as he stepped out through the open door into the cold air outside. They each shrugged on their jackets.

With a shiver, she stood in the doorway as the cold air rushed in to greet them. She glanced up and saw a sprig of mistletoe hanging above the door. Had that been there earlier? She couldn’t remember. She stopped and bit down on her lower lip.

Chris followed her gaze then arched an eyebrow. “Oh.”

“Mistletoe,” she said.

He nodded, rubbing his fingers over his lips. Her eyes were drawn there, and she remembered the way they’d felt against hers, and it caused a rush of heat to flood her body. Her cheeks flushed with warmth, and her heart thudded.

“I guess we’d better kiss then,” he said, meeting her gaze. His eyes were intensely dark and yet sparkled with mischief all at the same time.

“I don’t think we have a choice,” she added, her face growing warmer still.
