Rose (Flower Trilogy)
“Kit stayed just long enough to down two servings of the apple fritters they’d prepared. Just long enough to lock gazes several times with Rose . . . just long enough to surreptitiously touch her a few times beneath the table.
The same fingers that were grazing her body over her gown had been under there mere minutes earlier. She could hardly believe she’d allowed it—encouraged it, if she were to be honest—but now, recalling those shared moments, she felt that heat simmering again, felt that urg...ent, exquisite ache.
The apple fritters were sweet and crispy, spiced with nutmeg, mace, and cinnamon. But she could hardly eat a bite.
These were not common reactions to a friend.
But she didn’t want anything more with Kit.
“ ’Twas delicious,” he said at last, rising from the table.
“But I must leave. I’ll have to head out to Windsor very early in the morning, and I need some sleep.”
“I know.” Ellen’s earlier gaiety disappeared as she and Rose walked him from the dining room to the door.MoreLess
