Chapter Nineteen

Fergus didn’t look back as he hooned down the gravel driveway towards the road that would lead him home. His hands were clenching the steering wheel so tightly his knuckles hurt.

He deserved a bloody medal.

It had taken every ounce of self-control he possessed to break that kiss and walk away when his instincts were screaming at him to yank them both down onto the ground and have his wicked way with her right there in the dirt, only fifty or so metres from her brother’s house. He was still hot and hard and doubted he’d get any sleep that night but he’d done the right thing. Hadn’t he?

This question weighed on his mind as he swerved onto the road. After only a few metres, a light flickered in his rear-view mirror. He knew it would be Tabitha heading back to Rose Hill. Perhaps he should pull over, signal her to stop and try to apologise properly for his monumental stuff-up.

Perhaps he was a coward for deciding not to, but he didn’t trust himself in the dark with her and he got the feeling she wouldn’t appreciate his efforts anyway.

The moon gave enough light that he could see her expression as she slammed the door and stormed towards him. Her nostrils flared, her eyes were cold and her lips as flat as a ruler. Every feature on her face radiated fury, and crazily, she looked even more gorgeous than usual.

‘What the hell was that about, Fergus McWilliams?’ The words fired out like gunshots and her chest heaved.

He opened his mouth but didn’t know what to say.

Tabitha had enough words for them both. ‘I’ll tell you what that was, or at least what it felt like. A kiss between two people who are clearly hot for each other. But maybe I’m wrong. Maybe I felt things that you didn’t. Was it a pity kiss? Is that it? You feel sorry for the poor disabled girl and were trying to make her feel better? Well, you failed at that, because I—’
