From the Inside Flap
"Why did you say 'it's only a matter of time'?"
He shifted in his seat, moving closer to her. "Because I've been waiting for it to happen. Haven't you?"
"No," she whispered.
"Liar." He was inches away from her now. "I've wanted you since you were eighteen."
"Rusty..."
"I'm going to kiss you now."
She wanted to refuse but found she couldn't. His arm was along the back of her seat, tanned and muscled, sprinkled with reddish-brown hairs, his bare chest inches from her fingers. Why hadn't she noticed before how tall he was, how broad his shoulders were? "No tongues," she warned him, heart thumping. "Not till the contract's signed."
He chuckled. "Okay."
She let him close the last few inches, wondering if it would feel strange to kiss a guy she'd known almost half her life as a friend.
She closed her eyes. His lips brushed hers. They were warm and dry, and he kissed her languidly. He smelled of chlorine, sunscreen, and hot, scorched skin, and he tasted of Coke and mint. Her heart thundered, and she was hit with the full force of the memory of her eighteenth birthday and how she'd felt when he kissed her in the garden among the lemon trees. But she sat still, reminding herself that this wasn't a big romantic gesture. This was purely business. Like checking the hooves of a horse before you bought it.
She'd thought he was only going to kiss her once, but he continued to plant light, soft kisses on her mouth, very correctly keeping his tongue well out of the way.
What the hell. She opened her mouth and brushed his lips with her tongue.
He lifted his head. "I thought you said--"
"I lied." She slipped a hand into his russet hair, curling her fingers in his ruffled locks.
He laughed, wrapped his arms around her, and pulled her close.
