His Holiday Family (2011)
“Better than right. He wound his arm around her and drew her to him. His mouth settled on hers as he deepened the kiss, pouring into it all the feelings he’d experienced whenever he was near her. Earlier, he’d watched her mouth move as she talked, smiled or frowned. He’d wondered what it would feel like when his moved over hers. Now he knew.
But in the back of his mind he heard Kathleen’s words again. She didn’t want to become involved with any man. She’d been burned by her deceased husband. She... had been warning him. And he needed to listen.
When she slid her arms around his neck, he pulled back, his ragged breath sounding in the sudden quiet of night. “I’d better be going.”
Pushing to his feet, he hovered over her. She peered up at him, but he didn’t want to see her expression. He wanted to think she enjoyed the kiss, at least some. But he also needed to remember she didn’t want to get involved with a man. He had lost too many special people in his life. There was no way he would go through thatkind of pain again.MoreLess
