“I’ll come get the door,” he said, hastening to do just that. When he opened the door, he stayed back only far enough for Rosalie to turn and slide to the ground. Then he took her into his arms right there in the driveway, the only light coming from the weak overhead bulb inside the cab of his truck.
“Thank you,” he whispered. “For coming with me today. For giving me so much time. For putting up with the completely insane family I belong to.”
Rosalie swayed with him in the semi-darkness, and Lee understood what it felt like to block out the rest of the world. He suddenly knew how Trav and Shay could look at one another the way they did. He told himself he wasn’t falling in love with Rosalie already, but the truth was, he was definitely sliding in that direction.
“I had a wonderful time,” she murmured, her lips right against his collar. “Sure, your family might be a little crazy, but whose isn’t?”
Lee pulled back a little and looked into her eyes. He wanted to ask her about that kiss, but he didn’t need to. They definitely seemed to be on the same page tonight, and when he leaned down this time, Rosalie rose up to meet him.
He hadn’t kissed a woman in a while—she’d spoken true about that. He prayed with the fierceness of a mama bear that he’d do a good enough job to warrant another date and that this kiss would indeed be fun for both of them.
When his lips touched hers,funwasn’t the right word. Explosive, maybe. Hot, definitely.
He finally settled onpassionateas he kneaded her closer and kissed her deeper. Lee had been dreaming about this kiss for days and weeks, and he’d lost his head once over it.
Tonight, he stayed very much in the moment, because he didn’t want to miss a single, feather-light touch of her fingertips along his hairline, or the way she breathed in with him, moved with him, kissed him back like she’d been fantasizing about kissing him too.
He finally pulled away, his lips feeling swollen and hot. He had no idea what to say, because Lee didn’t talk just to hear his own voice. He tucked one of Rosalie’s curls behind her ear, where it promptly popped back out, smiled at her, and kissed her again.
