Chapter Fourteen

Hislipspressagainst mine, then his hand moves into my hair and down to the nape of my neck. The kiss is gentle, but his grip sends electricity down my spine, making me slightly off-balance. I rock sideways and feel his hand on my hip to steady me.

He pulls away, and I'm literally speechless. I touch my lips with the tips of my fingers, missing the heat from his instantly.

"Now, can we do this again?"

"Yeah. Yes. Absolutely."

"Good."

His hand slowly moves from the back of my neck. I turn my head towards it, and he brushes his thumb against my lips. His fingers stop on my chin, turning my head back towards him.

"I'll talk to you soon, Piper."

"Okay."

Then the his warmth leaves my body. He gives me one more amazing smile before he turns and walks away.

Holy shit. Holy shit. Holy. Shit.

I get into my Jeep as fast as I can and immediately call Kelly.

"Hey, hot stuff. How was your date?"

"It wasn't a date."

"Yeah, okay. Whatever you gotta tell yourself. So, how did your not-date go?"

"We talked, we laughed, we ate amazing Italian food, and then he kissed me."

Kelly squeals so loud that I have to pull the phone away from my ear.

"Thanks for that."

"Sorry, but that's so exciting. How was it? I imagine his lips are so soft."

"It was really fucking hot, actually." I can't help the cheesy grin that graces my face. "And yes, his lips are very soft."

"Not me jealous. Not one bit."

"You can live vicariously through me. That's fine."

"Perfect. So, when's the next date?"

"I'm not sure. He said he will talk to me soon."

"Eek! So excited for you. You needed this, especially after stupid bookstore boy."

"I can agree with that, but my guard is still up."

"That's okay. Keep it up. Make him prove to you that he wants you and that he's worth your time."

I push the button to start my Jeep.

"I'm coming home. See you in a bit."

"Okay."
