Читать книгу Gabriel's Honor - Barbara McCauley - Страница 2

Gasping, Melanie pulled away, tugged her robe tightly around her and eased away from Gabriel. His eyes were glazed and confused as he looked at her.

“I—I’m sorry. That was my fault.”

Melanie rose from the sofa on wobbly knees. “You have to promise that it won’t happen again. If it does, I’ll leave.”

Gabriel opened his mouth, but she shook her head. “Promise me.”

Eyes narrowed, he pressed his lips tightly together. “Fine.”

She relaxed then, drew a deep breath and turned to leave the room.

“Melanie.”

She hesitated at the base of the stairs and looked over her shoulder.

“I lied.” He stared at her, the light of the fire dancing in his dark eyes. “I’m not sorry about kissing you.”
