“Gisele?”
“Hm…”
“I think…” I paused, needing a moment to gather my thoughts, quite heady at the thought of what I was about to say next. “Well, I believe—I’m almost sure…that I’m falling in love with you,kitten.”
This time, she pulled away but didn’t immediately turn around to face me. She took her time before letting out a haggard breath, as if trying to comprehend the weight of my confession. Ever so casually, she crawled towards me. She sat on her heels as she gazed down, reaching out to cup my face. The intensity in her gray eyes took my breath away. “I love you, but you have to understand there’s no need to butter me up after what happened yesterday, Jared. We’re past it. I’m fine. You don’t have to say thesethings—”
My forefinger pressed against her succulent lips, hushing her completely. Deeply boring my eyes into hers, I took hold of her hand before bringing it to my lips, kissing it softly, lovingly. “I’m telling you how I feel. No more secrets,remember?”
“I don’t know what to say…” she nervously said before grimacing. “I mean, it might not be true. You’re not fully sure, so your feelings might changelateron.”
Her pessimism held no comfort. “You silly girl! Why must you ruin a good moment?” But instead of entertaining her rotten thoughts, I lovingly squeezed her cheek before playfully nipping the tip of her nose. “Do you have any idea how much it took for me to even utter those words at all?” After shifting her body so I could situate mine atop hers, I nipped her neck as she squirmedunderneathme.
“Baby, no! I’m going to miss the eclipse!” she squealed, huffing and giggling as if she didn’t know which was far more superior to bestow her attention to. Well, lucky me, I had the means necessary to trap herattentions.
Need I mention how famished I was? Well, I was quite ready for my first course. Gisele-à-la-carte sounded perfectlydivine.
