by Amelia Grey


  “I swear to you I didn’t expect to kiss you when I asked you to come in here,” Griffin said.

  “I know. It was an afterthought.”

  “That doesn’t do justice to what I was feeling, Esmeralda.” He grunted. “I wanted to be angry with you but . . .” He paused.

  Her eyes had adjusted to the darkness. Frustration etched his handsome features. “But?”

  “When I saw you standing in here in the shadows, all I could think was, dear God, I want to kiss her right now. To hell with my honor, to hell with what was right and proper. To hell with what was best for you. I just wanted to kiss you and I could no longer deny myself the taste of you. I have wanted you in my arms almost from the moment I saw you.”
