It was unbearably tempting to
press her mouth to his. If she allowed the intimacy of a kiss, wasn’t that the
doorway to her undoing? She was already so very aware of him. That echoing
emptiness crept from the corners of her heart and darted through her. Daphne
knew the press of his lips, the scent of him, the comfort of touch, the thrill
of passion would suppress the chasm.
She should be doing
everything in her heart to resist whatever this was, for if she allowed him
close enough, he would soon be in her
bed, and that way led to disaster, she
knew it with a certainty that defied logic. Her lips paused a whisper below his, and the
fingers on her hips tensed. A rush of fierce anticipation flowed through her veins, yet the dratted man did not
press his advantage at her evident willingness. Instead,
he waited, an odd sort of tension riding the air.
He kissed her. She made a soft sound and parted her lips. He tasted of mint,
spice, and Sylvester himself. His tongue lightly skimmed along her lower lip,
and she softened more against him. Then it was over.
Her lids fluttered open, and she stared at him in bemusement.
“Thank you,” he said.
She suddenly knew
with a shattering certainty that their marriage as it had existed in that cold, indifferent state was over. What stood on
the other side of the invitation, pain or happiness, she did not know, but she
was willing for the next several weeks to discover it.
