It Started With A Kiss

‘Love I can do without from now on.’

Rafe looked at her. ‘Oh, I don’t know. Love still has a certain appeal.’

‘I can’t see what. It makes you do things. Stupid things. Irrational things.’

‘Mmm. You could be right there.’ Because for the next two days he was going to do the stupidest, most irrational things in his life!

‘Where on earth is that food?’ Isabel said irritably.

‘It’ll be here soon. Meanwhile, have some more champagne,’ he added, and topped up her glass. ‘Good, isn’t it?’

‘Yes. But if I don’t eat soon it’ll go straight to my head. I have a very low intoxication level with champagne. It can make me tipsy quicker than anything else.’

‘Is that so? Well, there’s no worry in being a bit tipsy, is there? It won’t make you do anything later that you wouldn’t be doing anyway.’

The eyes she set upon him over the rim of her glass were very dry. ‘My, aren’t we full of the sauce tonight?’

I hope so, Rafe thought ruefully. Because my sauce is going to have to work very hard to do the job from now on. He didn’t dare cut the whole top off every condom he used during the next two days. She might notice. He really could only risk a pin-prick or two. Except perhaps tonight…

Isabel’s powers of observation could very well be limited if she got well and truly sloshed. If he was clever with what position he used, he might get away with not using anything at all.

The thought excited, then worried him.

It was a stupid thing to do, as she said. Stupid and irrational. She didn’t love him. She wouldn’t marry him. At best, he would be a father to their child at a distance, having limited access.

But so what? he thought recklessly. He was still going to do it, wasn’t he?
