Chapter Fourteen

No one had ever kissed Drew. The only cowboy who’d dared put his arm around her had found himself flat on the ground, the barrel of a gun only inches from his forehead, his eye rapidly swelling from the impact of Drew’s fist. Drew had no desire to knock Cole down or draw her gun on him. In fact, she felt as though she was the one who’d received a body blow.

She was unable to judge the nature of the kiss. She couldn’t tell if it was the kind of kiss a man gave a woman who was his friend, though she doubted that She’d never seen any man attempt to embrace Isabelle, and she had lots of friends. It didn’t seem likely it was of a more amorous nature. Cole had told her she was attractive, but kissing was a whole lot of steps beyond pretty compliments.

Or maybe it wasn’t Maybe other people kissed all the time if they liked each other. It seemed like a silly thing to do, but then she thought most people were silly, especially when it came to anything having to do with romance. Mooning about when they were afraid their love wasn’t returned, talking about each other like there was no one else in the world, making lifelong decisions based on naked animal attraction. From everything she’d seen, romance brought on a dangerously unbalanced mental state, a condition she intended to avoid at all costs.

But the kissing part wasn’t nearly as bad as she’d expected. Neither was being held real close. It was a bit uncomfortable at first, but soon a very satisfactory warmth surged through her. And excitement. Or nervousness. She wasn’t certain, this being her first time. She hoped she wasn’t so nervous she did everything wrong. She supposed people got evaluated on this. Even though she didn’t plan to do it again, she didn’t want Cole to put her down as the last person he’d ever kiss twice.

About this kiss … well, she didn’t really know. She had been adamant she didn’t want any man’s mouth on hers. It sounded very unsanitary, as well as a downright silly thing to do—after all, two people standing around like they were sucking on the same grape, well, it just looked silly. She’d seen Jake and Isabelle kiss a thousand times without being able to understand the attraction.

But it felt entirely different from what she’d imagined. Cole’s lips were soft, yet strong. The taste of his brandy lingered. The pressure was gentle yet insistent.

She felt her body relax, lean into Cole’s, felt her lips respond to his kiss. Then, almost as though she’d been pitched into water above her head, a feeling swept over her that defied description. It made her want to be even closer to Cole, to kiss him harder, to put her arms around his neck and hold on tight.

Before she could summon her limp muscles to respond, Cole broke their kiss. She looked into his face and saw reflected there the shock she felt.
