Jack scrubbed his hands down his face as he rounded the corner of the engine house. He had to shake this off now before that tempting maiden walked once more by his side and he pulled her in his arms and kissed her until morning.

He was a total fool. He’d only been teasing her before about kissing her, but when he saw the desire in her eyes, a fire ignited in his chest. His heart hadn’t beat in such a way in years. Surely never when he’d kissed any other woman. Those moments had been purely carnal.

He was attracted to Gwynna, of course. Her pink lips, the spatter of freckles across her nose. But there was something more than physical desire. He was feeling something more.

And those feelings scared the devil out of him.

Thank heavens her final declaration of “no,” though feigned as it was, had finally given him the strength to pull away.

He had promised himself to leave Gwynna once his questions had been answered. Now that his debt was satisfied from his behavior at the ball, he was free to move on. Free to go to the assembly. Free to kiss other women without guilt. Free to continue the life he’d planned for himself—unmarried, alone, and without responsibilities.

So that’s what he was going to do because he couldn’t risk feeling any longer.
