His mouth covered her, his kiss hungry and hot as he pulled her up against him. Then, just as abruptly as the kiss had begun, it ended. His expression fierce, he looked away. “No. That’s not why I came here. Actually, I came to apologize to you.”

“I do. You deserve better. Kaitlyn, all your life, men have manipulated you. They wanted to own you. I will not do that to you.”
“I think I understand. You want to make sure I don’t get the wrong impression just because we…”
“Exactly.” He sounded so relieved she nearly smiled.
“No worries, then. We’re two adults. Our coming together was completely consensual.”
“You came to me for help. Instead, I took advantage of you. And God help me, I still want you.”
