Smiling, I leaned down and brought my lips to hers as we both began to breathe faster. Stopping short of her lips, I spoke. “My body feels so alive when I’m with you, Harmony. My heart feels…complete.”
Closing her eyes, she whispered, “Preston.”
Brushing my lips across hers, I kissed her gently. Letting out a soft moan that vibrated through my whole body, Harmony opened her mouth to me as I slipped my tongue in and moaned myself. She tasted like heaven. About to deepen the kiss, I heard someone clear his throat. Pulling away quickly, Harmony took a step back as she looked into my eyes. Her chest was heaving up and down as I attempted to get my heart rate back under control.
Her eyes were on fire and I wanted nothing more than to pull her back to me and finish what we had started.
“Preston?”
Turning my head, I saw my older brother, Wes. Smiling, I quickly made my way over to him. I hadn’t seen him since last Thanksgiving.
“Jesus H. Christ, look at you, Wes. Is that an expensive suit?” I said as I approached him. Laughing, he grabbed me and pulled me into a quick hug. Pushing me back at arm’s length, he looked me up and down.
“Shit, I always knew you were going to be the better-looking brother.”
Pushing on his chest, I laughed. Turning, I motioned to Harmony. She walked up smiling and stood next to me. “Wes, I’d like for you to meet Harmony. Harmony, this is my brother, Weston, but we call him Wes.”
Placing her hand out to shake his, Harmony said, “It’s a pleasure to meet you, Wes. Preston has spoken very highly of you.”
Wes laughed and shook his head. “Really? That is a pleasant surprise. Usually he has some smart-ass things to say about me.”
Looking between Harmony and me, Wes glanced back at me and raised an eyebrow and said, “So, I interrupted something when I walked up.”
“It’s not what you think. Harmony and I…” Turning to Harmony, I looked at her as I pinched my eyebrows together. What were we now? I’d just kissed her. We’d admitted that we have feelings for each other. We had for sure moved past the friend status.
Giving me the sweetest smile, Harmony reached for my hand. “Preston and I are friends.”
Forcing a smile, I turned back to Wes. I wasn’t sure if I liked the fact that Harmony still thought of us as just friends. I’d certainly thought differently after the kiss we’d shared.
Holding up his hands, Wes grinned from ear to ear. “Hey, if that’s what you want to call it. Finn is about ten minutes out if you guys want to head back up to the house.”
“Sounds good!” Harmony said as she dropped my hand and headed back toward the house.
What in the hell just happened? Harmony acted like she wanted to be as far away from me as possible and all I wanted to do was pull her into my arms and feel her lips against mine.
Standing there like an idiot, I watched Harmony taking off toward the house. Wes placed his hand on my shoulder and gave it a slight squeeze.
“Dude, don’t overthink it. I saw the way she was looking at you.”
Taking in a deep breath, I let it out as I shook my head and said, “Yeah,” as I tried to push away the uneasiness I suddenly felt.
Chapter 15
More than Thankful
Harmony
Walking back toward Preston’s parents’ house, I tried to push away the look of disappointment in Preston’s eyes when I’d said we were friends. My heart was beating so hard and my mind was spinning.
That kiss. Good Lord, that kiss was amazing. I couldn’t even begin to imagine how far things would have gone had Preston’s brother Wes not shown up.
Closing my eyes, I took in a deep breath and blew it out as I opened my eyes and put a smile on my face. Turning around, I saw that Preston and his brother were a good ways behind me talking. I didn’t mean to take off like I did. I needed to put some space between us. We both just admitted having feelings for each other and I needed to think this through.
Hearing someone driving down the driveway, I turned to look and saw a truck pulling up. As the driver honked the horn, the truck stopped and I saw Angie running out of the house.
A tall, dark-haired guy got out of the truck and caught Angie in his arms while he spun her around. Smiling, I was guessing this was Finn. As I drew closer, I noticed he was yet another good-looking guy. Man, this family has good genes.
Stopping a few feet back, I watched Angie and Jenn greet Finn.
