TWENTY-NINE
Jesse's eyestracked my every movement as I crossed the parking lot.
My heart sped up at the intense look he wore. He was always easygoing and calm; I'd never seen him look like he was feeling so much.
As I approached him, I tried to come up with something to say. A good way to bring up the topic, or the right words to apologize for the harsh things I’d said and the stress I’d obviously caused him.
But all thoughts of apologies fled my mind when Jesse covered the remaining distance between us in three steps.
With one rough movement, he crushed my body to his and pressed his lips to mine.
It took my mind a minute to catch up, but when I did, I reacted. Jesse didn’t know much about kissing, but a tiny press of the lips meant nothing to me.
And I wanted this kiss to mean something.
My tongue teased the entrance to his mouth, and he opened for me without hesitation. When I tasted him without reservation, he mimicked the action until he was just as confident as I was.
My hands found his head, holding his face to mine as I met him stroke for stroke. I'd been kissed before, and I had kissed people before, but this was nothing like that.
His lips were on mine, and our tongues warred the way our words always did. Our bodies moved together, as one. His hands were on my hips, mine in his hair, our mouths and bodies practically locked together as we ravaged each other.
A car's horn honked, and our lips tore apart, our eyes colliding with those of the vehicle’s driver.
I didn't recognize him, but he looked amused.
Jesse drew me back a few steps, toward our car. I wasn’t sure when I’d started considering it mine too, but I did.
Jesse waved at the guy in the vehicle, and the guy drove through the space in the road that we'd been blocking.
Letting out a long, harsh breath, he crushed me to his chest and held me tightly.
"Wow," I breathed.
I'd never been kissed like that.
Hell, I'd never felt like that.
And now that I had... I wasn't sure I could go back to not feeling it.
"I'm so damn glad your wolf still wants me," Jesse said, clutching me against him.
He was so glad...what?
That my wolf still wanted him?
Had we not just experienced the same life-altering, earth-shattering kiss?
Holy hell, what if he hadn't felt the same way I did?
My defenses rose, and I stepped away from Jesse.
He let me go.
His expression was one of relief. "Sorry, I probably shouldn't have kissed you. It was desperate, and stupid."
I glared at him. "Yeah, it was."
And apparently, it hadn’t been the same life-changing kiss for him.
