Chapter 28

• Steven lifted her chin and studied her eyes. He wanted to comfort her but knew she didn’t want that. Not Rachel, not now. Pulling her tighter into his body he lowered his mouth and kissed her deeply, not a comforting kiss but a kiss that told her he’d missed her, needed her. When he lifted his head again, she smiled up at him.
• “I needed that,” she whispered.
• “Me too.” He kissed the tip of her nose and then grinned. “Now, if we don’t go out there, they’re going to come looking.” He dared her with his eyes.
