She took a deep breath, lifting her chin as she hung up her coat and dropped her bag. "I already thanked you for finding Macey for me." she said, while trying to think of what really needed to be said here.
"Why didn't you tell me your tires were slashed? In your garage? With the door closed and locked?"
"Listen, I appreciate your worry, but I can take care of myself and... I hardly know you. You hardly know me." The bottoms of her low-heeled pumps clicked as she made her way across the hardwood and onto the ceramic of the kitchen floor. We need to take a step back here, Nathan."
Red filled his face. He jammed his hands firmly in his pockets. "I'm not talking about you and me, although I have my own ideas about that. I'm talking about some nut-case putting at least a half-dozen slashes in each of your tires in your locked garage.
"I can take care of my own car." She turned as she thought of just how she was going to do that, and reached up to pull out a single tea bag and mug. "And there is no you and me. It was just a kiss."
Nathan made his way to her in three long strides, picked her up by the shoulders and plopped her on the kitchen counter, smashing his mouth to hers. Framing the side of her face with one hand, Nathan laced his fingers in her pinned up hair with the other.
She couldn't think and for the first time in her life let go. Slipping away from her blessed control, she blocked out the possible consequences and surrendered to the now. Her skin nearly ignited from the feel of his body as she pulled him in closer. She held onto his lanky back, his strong arms, feeling his rough hands on her face, in her hair. His mouth and his tongue emptied her mind. She clamped her eyes shut and wanted to stay right there.
As he'd done at the midnight hour in her basement, he pulled away as quickly as he took her.
Nathan whispered close to her face, "Just a kiss my ass."
