A HEADY SENSATION
Lifting her gaze to his face, she colored as she saw that he was watching her.
“See something you like?” he asked in a low rumble.
And as usual when she was taken off guard, she blurted out the first thing that came to her mind. “Why? Do you?”
She’d intended it to come out as cold and sarcastic, but instead it sounded like a throaty invitation, even to her ears.
And she knew he’d heard it when his eyes darkened, then dropped to fix on her lips. “Yes. Definitely yes.”
Devil take it, she should never have said such a thing. What must he think of her? What would he—
Her thoughts shattered as he leaned forward and pressed his lips to hers.
Lord save her, he was kissing her. The Duke of blasted Greycourt himself was kissing her!
Oh, heavens, the feel of his mouth covering hers, tasting and testing as if to determine how soft were her lips, was a heady sensation unlike any other. . . .
