He stepped back, his breathing labored. A faint smile trembled on her lips. He aimed a finger at her while a spasm tickled his jaw. "Look, Charity, I told you once I don't take kindly to teasing. I'm not going to tell you again. You just won't see me."
Her smile broke into a grin. "You just can't handle it because you love me," she said, confidence resurging in her tone.
He stopped and assessed her through wary eyes. "No, I can't handle it because I'm attracted to you. There's a big difference."
"Well, that's good enough-for now."
He silently cursed the fact she had never looked more seductive, with her golden hair disheveled and blue eyes wide and wet. Her lips parted, full and pouty, as she observed him from the swing, while her hand toyed with the button at the high collar of her dress. He finally shook his head and laughed as he leaned against the railing, eyes focused on her fingers.
"All right, Collin, I understand. You need time to make up your mind, so the engagement is officially off-for now. Shall we seal it with a kiss?"
The blood coursed through his veins as he watched her, and he nodded, almost oblivious to her question. His gaze fixed on the button now unfastened against her throat. Slowly she stood and moved to his side. His heart was pounding, and she smiled as if she could hear it.
"Kiss me, Collin," she whispered. "It's only a kiss, after all, nothing more."
Her eyes seemed to hypnotize, and he let her wait while he struggled with what conscience he had. Before he knew what was happening, the slow smile moved across his lips as if it had a mind of its own. He grabbed her, his breath hot on her face as he spoke.
