Kate's Vow (Vows)
“For a woman not easily rattled, those kisses the night before had shaken her in ways she’d never imagined possible. She’d been awake half the night thinking about them. At least Davey’s presence prevented a morning-after analysis of the mistake in judgment they’d made by allowing the intimacy of those kisses.
Why the devil hadn’t she thought to set ground rules for herself, as well as him? Possibly because it had never occurred to her that David viewed her as anything other than a prospective adversary in a battle over his son’s future. She wondered for one fleeting instant if those kisses had been part of some low-down, scheming tactics to throw her off guard. She dismissed the idea almost as soon as it had formed. Nothing she’d seen thus far had suggested that David was anything but a man of real character, albeit one who’d lost sight of his priorities for a brief time.
None of that explained her own behavior. She had wanted him to kiss her, had practically set the stage and invited... him to, with her taunting remarks.MoreLess
