I gasped as he pulled me against his chest and smiled down at me.
“Don’t hold back from now on. We can heal. But maybe avoid headshots. And we’ll focus on learning how to simply access your power to a non-lethal extent. Don’t want you accidentally hurling Xander or one of the others in combat class,” he smirked.
I barely registered his words, unable to get over the fact that my hands were pressed against his bare chest as he held me against him. He was so warm and enticing, his charred scent engulfing me.
“Tell me, Lily? Can you feel it too? Are you drawn to us like we are to you?” he whispered in my ear, his hot breath brushing my neck and making me quiver. “I see how you look at us, and we look at you the same way. We’ve not asked, but we want to know.”
I closed my eyes, savoring the way he held me in his strong arms, and how small I felt against him. He really had to crane his neck to whisper in my ear, but it made butterflies dance in my belly.
“Yes,” I breathed.
He chuckled softly, a relieved sound as he squeezed me gently.
“Good,” he murmured.
I felt him pull back, and then I froze, my mind screaming with joy as I felt his lips brush against mine.
He kissed me ever so softly, and I melted into his arms as I kissed him back. A spark ignited within me at the sweet moment, something that had my getting light-headed and yet oddly warm.
It was short-lived though as he broke away and rested his forehead against mine.
“I always wanted my first kiss to be with you,” he chuckled.
My chest was heaving now with my shallow breaths, and I opened my eyes, staring into those dark depths.
“Well, you were mine too,” I admitted softly.
He just smiled at this before pulling back.
“We should head inside and see what Xander has been telling everyone. Besides, I know you promised Chumley you’d watch an episode or two of ’Stranger Things’ with him before dinner. He loves having that time with you,” Jack said as he took my hand.
My stomach was still knotting, and my head spun stupidly. He made me so giddy, and I wanted to kiss him again, to deepen it and feel him holding me.
Instead, we walked hand in hand back to the mansion, and I couldn’t stop smiling to myself.
I just hoped the others would be okay with whatever this was.
