Cassidy Harte And the Comeback Kid (2002)
“One moment she wanted to weep from the tenderness of his kiss, from the unbelievable wonder of being in his arms once more. Of tasting his lips and feeling his skin and absorbing the taste and smell of him that had haunted her dreams for so long after he left.
The next, her spine stiffened, her muscles tensed, and she wrenched away. The impact of her elbow hitting wood jarred her completely back into reality.
Damn him for kissing her like that.
And damn her right along with him for allowing it....
“Don’t touch me again.” She meant to sound strong and determined, but she heard the quaver in her voice and cursed herself for her weakness.
“Cassie —”
“I’m serious, Slater. You want me to stay and work here, fine. I’ll stay. We made a deal, and I, for one, always try to keep my word. But I don’t want you near me.”
She didn’t wait for him to answer, just opened the door to the cabin and hurried inside before she did anything else stupid. Inside she slammed the door and stood for a moment, then slumped to the floor, one trembling hand covering her mouth that still burned from his kiss.MoreLess
