What happened last night exposed the attraction we’d hidden for too long. It’s freeing now that everything is out in the open, and pride swells through me over the thought that he trusts me enough to take this step together.
My shoulders slump.
What is this step?
A quick speed bump of us hooking up, and that’s all it’ll ever lead to?
Tonight, I’m asking him. We’ve always been open and honest in our relationship. Even when we were holding back from anything physical, we knew the feelings were there—that there was so much love that it’d take a heavy chain saw to break it.
Only inches separate us, and his hands trail down my waist before tugging at the hem of my green dress. “I like this.”
I peek up at him, biting the corner of my lip, wrapped in the zone of him. “Thank you.”
He nuzzles his face into my neck. “I wish I could take it off.”
That makes two of us.
I rub my thighs together, and he laughs when I push my body into him.
“Maybe later?”
The contagious grin on his face causes me to do the same when he pulls his head away, his hands still wrapped around my waist. “Are we having another sleepover tonight?”
Heat shoots up my neck. “If you want? Maybe we can play video games again?”
Excitement lines his features, and he chuckles before dragging me into his chest and pressing his lips to the top of my head. When he pulls back a bit, we stare at each other in hesitation, curious on our next move. Rex owns it by dipping his head down and pressing his lips against my mouth this time.
“I’d love another round of video games.”
“Carolina!”
I jump back at the sound of my father’s voice as he’s stalking in our direction.
Shoot!
We were so wrapped up in our own world that I not only forgot there were other volunteers and my father here, but I was also close to making out with Rex at my church.
My dad will have a field day with this one.
A lecture is coming as soon as we’re alone.

Rex
Pastor Adams is positively puttinga bad word in for me with God.
He’s doing a sucky-ass job of hiding his frustration while strolling in our direction.
My kiss with Carolina was hardly a peck, but from his heated face, you’d think Carolina was straddling me, naked, on the teeter-totter.
While delivering my best face of innocence, I shove my hand out when he reaches us. “Pastor Adams. It’s nice to see you again.”
He shakes my hand, his firm tight, while his lips form an irritated frown. “Rex, I appreciate you coming.”
“Anything I can do to help,” I reply with a big, friendly smile.
Rick’s gaze shifts to Carolina, and he jerks his chin toward the other side of the parking lot. “Your mom needs your help with the donation baskets.”
