Well, one kiss is what you\u2019ll get if it will end this.\u201d<\/em><\/span><\/p>\n<p><em><span style=\"color: #800000;\">She stared at him with big round eyes. After a moment, a nervous half smile tipped the edges of her lush mouth.<\/span><\/em><\/p>\n<p><em><span style=\"color: #800000;\">Oh God, her mouth. Oh hell, her mouth.<\/span><\/em><\/p>\n<p><em><span style=\"color: #800000;\">What he intended was sheer madness. He knew in that moment he should halt this silly game of hers. But it was either this or commit unspeakable acts with her out on the dance floor. He could almost hear the report of the pistol when Armstrong buried a bullet in his chest. At this point, he would do anything to end her flirtation. Her infatuation. The bloody chase. In this instance, the ends did indeed justify the means.<\/span><\/em><\/p>\n<p><em><span style=\"color: #800000;\">One kiss.<\/span><\/em><\/p>\n<p><em><span style=\"color: #800000;\">Surely he had enough willpower to remain impassive and unmoved for the duration of one bloody kiss? Good Lord, no matter what other appeal she possessed, Missy was a virgin.

You\u2019re the one who won\u2019t stop until we dispel the mystery of whatever you think is between us. Go ahead, dispel away.\u201d<\/span><\/em><\/p>\n<p><em><span style=\"color: #800000;\">They stared at each other for several more seconds before Missy stepped forward and leaned until the silk corsage of her gown met the wool and satin of his jacket. James tried to ignore the shock of desire that pierced him and had him again rethinking his stratagem.<\/span><\/em><\/p>\n<p><em><span style=\"color: #800000;\">Tipping her head back, she placed her hands upon his shoulders, and when her eyes fluttered close, touched her lips to his. He remained still, afraid to move a single muscle\u2014at least of those he could control.\u00a0 She pressed her lips more firmly against his closed mouth, her breasts flush against his chest. A jolt of lust coursed down to his loins.<\/span><\/em><\/p>\n<p><em><span style=\"color: #800000;\">Enough!\u00a0 He couldn\u2019t draw a decent sanity-giving breath.<\/span><\/em><\/p>\n<p><em><span style=\"color: #800000;\">He lifted his hands to remove hers. There, she\u2019d received her kiss. Now, if God above took pity on him, she\u2019d leave him in peace. But before he could remove the hands from his shoulders, her arms wound tightly about his neck, forcing his head lower. <\/span><\/em><\/p>\n<p><em><span style=\"color: #800000;\">That was when she began the <\/span><\/em><span style=\"color: #800000;\">true<\/span><em><span style=\"color: #800000;\"> assault.<\/span><\/em><\/p><\/blockquote>\n<p>I&#8217;d say James was in some serious trouble, wouldn&#8217;t you?
