She knew what was happening. She was in his arms … their lips were together.
He was kissing her and she wasn’t fighting.
God help her, but she loved being in his arms, melting.
Though she should stop it, she couldn’t. She didn’t want to stop it.
She wanted to savor this moment. To take it with her when they went their separate ways.
It doesn’t have to be separate ways.
“I’m sorry,” he whispered breathlessly against her neck. “I shouldn’t.”
“No, you should.” She kissed him again. “There don’t have to be promises, George. Let’s just have this time and see what happens.”
“Samantha, if you touch me again … if you look at me a certain way … I may forget that we aren’t together. I may forget that we’re only supposed to be friends.”
“So then forget that.” She kissed him. “Give me this. Please.”
He’d come to her door tonight. He’d opened up. And maybe nothing would continue once they got up north, but she couldn’t resist him.
The kiss deepened, his tongue melding with hers, his hands in her hair as he pressed her against her couch, his hands traveling up and down her body, chest to chest, but not skin to skin, which was what she wanted.
Samantha grinned as he scooped her up, holding her in his strong arms.
If she didn’t do this, she’d regret it.
And she was tired of living with regrets.
Thank you for picking up a copy of DARE SHE DATE AGAIN?
You might recognise the hero, George Atavik, from my debut Mills & Boon® Medical Romance™, SAFE IN HIS HANDS.
George was such a charming, interesting character. I knew from the very first moment he walked onto the page in my first book, spouting nonsense about his love of Westerns and his love of planes, that he would have to have his own book.
Of course I wasn’t going to make it easy for George. He had to work hard for his story, and for the heroine Samantha—but then love is never easy, even after it’s won.
I love stories of second chances, even if that second chance is with someone different. Sometimes love ends too quickly when our loved one is taken from us, either through death or drifting apart. Still, love always seems to find a way.
I hope you enjoy DARE SHE DATE AGAIN?, and I hope I’ve done justice to George’s story.
