Danger's Kiss
“Lord, the lass was beautiful. Seductive. Breathtaking. And the little vixen knew exactly what she was doing. He had to admit, Hubert had been clever indeed to enlist her services.
For a moment, his body seemed absolutely convinced he was about to indulge in an afternoon of sensual pleasure.
Then Desirée straightened with a smirk, hitching her kirtle back up over her shoulders, and he realized it had been nothing more than a well-executed ruse.
Meanwhile, Desirée, completely oblivious to the... blood sizzling in his veins and the sweat forming above his lip, casually scanned the board, discovering a move. “Aha!” She jumped over his piece and took it out of the game.
Nicholas stared at the black and white pieces, unable to make sense of them. Real or feigned, Desirée’s flirtation had utterly rattled him. No woman had looked at him like that since...since he’d become a lawman.
When women had the courage to look at him at all, it was with terror or loathing or tearful supplication. He’d forgotten what it was like to be the object of a woman’s flirtation.MoreLess
