“I told you—I’m here to help. Nothing more.”

Garth’s eyes took on a smoldering tint that caused her heart to thud. Without looking away, he leaned closer.

“You have helped,” he whispered. “And I’m going to kiss you.”

However, as their eyes met their lips met again. That first kiss had immediately become an exploration of unfamiliar ground, but this time it was a gentle journey of territory already discovered and appreciated. She’d known him for years, yet hadn’t experienced the depth of that right now. And, just as she’d imagined, kissing him was utterly amazing.
