Taming Jesse James (2002)
“He could come up with a dozen reasons not to kiss Sarah McKenzie. Hell, a hundred, if he really put his mind to it.
All those excuses might be fine in the abstract, but none of them meant a damn thing in reality. Not when she smelled like a summer garden after a rain shower and when she lifted her face for his kiss with the same trusting beauty of one of those rain-soaked flowers turning toward the sun.
And when his subconscious had spent the past week torturing him with fantasies of doing exac...tly this.
Just a quick kiss, he vowed to himself, just to taste the sweetness there, to tease her a little, then he would back away and return to his side of the friendly, casual distance they had worked so hard this week to maintain between them.
At the first touch of her mouth under his, silken and warm and welcoming, he forgot about keeping that frustratingly safe chasm between them. Forgot about treating her with polite, casual restraint.
All he could focus on was the slick heat of her mouth against his and the way her slender body bowed so perfectly in his arms and the way she kissed him back with an enthusiasm that would have startled him if he’d been capable of rational thought.MoreLess
