Jess stood there, shock running through her. She could feel the imprint of his lips, taste the coffee, and smell his aftershave. Every part of her tingled and sang. Then anger replaced the exhilaration. How dare he?

She’d said no to dating him several times, and still he had the audacity to kiss her anyway.

The brazen cheek of the man.

Then her anger turned inwards to her traitorous body and the fact it had betrayed her. Not only had she let him kiss her, she’d kissed him back. More than that, she’d enjoyed it, and wanted more.

She stopped short. She wanted what?

Oh no. No way.

There was no way she was going to allow that to happen. Ever. The less she had to do with that man the better. In fact, maybe he’d do them all a favor and go home.

She was better off single.

The problem lay in the small town she lived in and the fact she was an upstanding pillar of the tiny close-knit community. She was expected to marry.

And Josh was living in her parents’ house—another problem.

But the main problem? Well that was easy. His faith, or rather the lack thereof. And it was a huge stumbling block, because despite his lack of faith and her desire to remain alone, she wanted him. She wanted him more than she’d ever wanted anyone. She craved his touch, his attention, his…love? Was that what she wanted? Or was what she was feeling the same as the giddy school girl crush she felt when watching her favorite actor on the TV.

Maybe she should leave. As soon as her parents came back. Just be honest with them like she should have been from the outset. She had to tell them that being a small town country GP wasn’t her cup of tea, and she was planning on taking up a job in the city again.

She left the dishes in the sink and headed outside. The object of her thoughts—she baulked at the word desire—stood in the front garden tugging at the ivy.

His blue gaze fell on her, a smirk covering his lips. “I’ll get rid of the rest of this before lunch. Does your dad have an incinerator?”

“There’s one in the back garden. But you can only use it after six in the evening.”

“Fair enough.”

Jess scowled at him. “And I’ll thank you not to kiss me again.”

Josh’s smirk grew bigger. “You’re welcome, lassie. Do you want dinner after church?”

“Yes…uh, no.”

He tilted his head. “Well, which is it? You have to eat at some point.”

“Yes, I—”

“Well, that’s great,” he said, cutting her off. “It’ll be ready at one. Don’t be late.”

Jess flounced down the path. Had he just railroaded her into that as well? She climbed into the car and slammed the door. She hit the wheel in sheer frustration and anger. “Ohh!”

The people living next door must have visitors as there was a car she didn’t recognize partially blocking the drive. If it was still there when she got back, she’d go around and ask them to move it.
