The kiss moves from hot to gentle as his mouth moves with a finesse that makes my abdomen clench. I moan as he sips from my mouth, his lips lightly moving against mine, then using soft tugging motions that have me clenching my fingers in his shirt.
When he pulls away for air, I feel dazed and try to get my thoughts in order, to say something.
He isn’t smiling, his eyes dark as they linger on my mouth.
“That was… Ah.” I cannot say anything, a clear brain-to-mouth disconnect.
“You’re a dangerous woman,” Fergus breathed.
I gape at him. “Wha… I didn’t – You kissed me!”
He picks up my coffee mug and then quickly claims another kiss from me before I can blink. “I didn’t hear you protesting.”
That is true.
My heart is still racing, and I find myself watching his form as he quickly washes the dishes. My eyes move over his back and the way his black jeans perfectly outline his legs and curve on his butt, and I bite my lower lip.
“I can feel you staring, Sarah.” He smirks from where he stands, and I blush.
“I am not… I am just looking,” I stammer.
He looks over his shoulder at me. “That’s the definition of staring.”
I don’t say anything, not knowing what the kiss means. I want to ask him but I don’t know how to form the right words. He is a stranger to me, one I am very, very attracted to. He watched over me as I slept off the effects of what was most probably a date rape drug. He looked after me, fed me breakfast, and now he kissed me.
When he turns around and sees me giving him a bewildered look, he tilts his head. “What’s wrong?”
I move my shoulders in a helpless gesture. “I–”
A loud banging on the front door has us both looking up.
Fergus gives me a wary look. “Are you expecting someone?”
I shake my head.
“Sarah, open up! I know you’re in there!”
My eyes widen. “Oh, shit.”
It is Seth.

Fergus
Sarah looks as if she were caught with her hand in the cookie jar.
“‘Oh, shit,’ what? Who is that?” I ask, feeling coldness seep down my spine.
It is a man’s voice. Is that her boyfriend?
“That’s Seth!” She sounds panicked. “He sounds mad.”
“Who’s Seth?” My voice is thin, dismay and anger a warring combination inside of me.
Of course, it makes sense that someone like her wouldn’t be single.
She is too busy scrambling to the door to answer my question. Unlocking the door, she quickly puts on an easy smile that has me blinking. “Hi, Seth. A bit early for you to be–”
