MY ONE-NIGHT HEIR

Natalie Anderson

‘You stunned me into silence.’ His expression softens. ‘I was trying to stay in control. I couldn’t do this there.’

‘This?’

The brush of his lips is balmy, teasing. His tenderness takes me by surprise as does the moment he takes to lean back and search my eyes. I realize he’s seeking my consent.

I can hardly think. ‘This is...’

‘What I’ve wanted to do all night.’ His gleaming gaze bores into me—intense and unwavering.

‘You’re why my pulse is racing.’

I just topple right into his arms. He scoops me close and then his mouth is there again—on mine.

And I melt.

It turns out that kissing is the best ever way to neutralise panic. The best way to stay in the moment, to not give a damn about anything else in life—not even imminent death. Kissing is the best ever thing full stop.
