Chapter 15

Colin kissed Luna until he realized he’d slid the strap of her sundress over her shoulder. Quickly releasing her, he repositioned the strap. “Sorry.” He cleared his throat. “Between you and the smell of old books, I lost all sense of propriety.”

She swayed a little, and her eyes were dark and slightly unfocused. She licked her lips. “Me, too.”

“On top of that, I’ve smeared your lipstick.” Reaching into his back pocket, he pulled out a handkerchief. “Here.”

She waved it away. “If I get dark pink lipstick on that white handkerchief, it will never come out.”

“Then I’ll keep it as a souvenir.” He cupped the back of her head. “Here, I’ll do it. Hold still.” He carefully wiped her mouth. “You’ll have to start over, I’m afraid.”

Gradually, her dazed expression was replaced with a mischievous smile. “I’m not the only one wearing raspberry lipstick.”

“Oh.” He hadn’t thought of that, but then, he wasn’t in the habit of kissing females in the middle of bookstores, or in any public place, for that matter. He’d never been overcome by the need to kiss someone immediately until he’d met Luna.

“Allow me.” Taking the handkerchief from him, she reached up and dabbed at his mouth. “You have such a sensuous lower lip.”

“I’ll bet you say that to all the chaps.”

“I’ve never said it to anyone before.”

“I know. I was teasing you again, and I shouldn’t do that.” He caught her hand in both of his and kissed her fingertips. “Knowing I’m your first lover is an endless source of pride and joy to me. You’ve given me a priceless gift, Luna.”

“No less than you gave to me. I feel as if I’m… how would I describe it? Something was missing in my life, and I knew that, but I didn’t understand how different I would feel now that I’m… ” She blew out a breath. “Like I said, I’m not sure how to describe it.”

He kept holding her hand because he couldn’t seem to stop touching her. “Complete?”

She nodded. “Yes, complete. I feel complete now, as if I know what the world is about. I’m so grateful, Colin.”

He was mesmerized by the warmth in her eyes. “Maybe we should skip buying the books and check into the hotel. We can order books online.”

She smiled. “That’s no fun.”

“But we could have a whole lot of fun in that hotel room. I like books, but not enough to give up a chance to—”

She laid a finger over his mouth. “We’re here now. We might as well pick up some books.” Removing her finger, she chucked him under the chin. “We don’t have to stay long, but we should do it.”

“And then we can go back to the hotel?”

“Yes.”

“Excellent.” He picked up his shopping bag and looped the handles over his forearm. “This will take me about five minutes. I’ll take this one, and this one, and—”

“Colin! You’re not even looking at them! What on earth have you got there?”

“I don’t know. I liked the red leather cover.
