Onlywantedto kiss Damon.
But he was gone. He chose to leave. He chose fear over me. I shouldn’t wait for him. Shouldn’t hope he would walk through the door for me any time soon, right?
I should live a little.
Trent eased away. “I’m sorry. I thought—”
I pushed up to my toes and kissed him square on the mouth. “Sorry. Caught me by surprise.”
His eyes widened, and he took control of the kiss. “Good.” He kissed my cheek. “I’ve wanted to.” Another kiss to my other cheek. “Kiss you for a while.”
I clasped my hands around his neck.
“But you seemed shy.”
“I am. I mean with this stuff.”
“Not many boyfriends?”
I gulped hard. “A couple.”
He kissed me again. I waited for the spark to ignite, but it never did. No swirls in my belly. No heat. No excitement.
Damon had ruined me for other guys, hadn’t he?

“Good boy.” I found the counter and stood there, waiting.
“Large iced chai latte, please.” The voice I knew almost as well as my own wrapped around me.LizBelle.She always ordered that drink. That voice. Damn it, I’d missed it.
Missed her.
“Damon?” She was closer now.
I took in a deep breath and faced her. “Hey, Lizzie.”
“Omigosh,” she whispered. “I—what are you—”
