I leaned into him, my heart beating in sync with his.
“If I’m with you, I can do anything,” he whispered.
I could feel the magnetic pull drawing us closer. The air crackled with energy, and the world seemed to hold its breath in anticipation of our next move. Or maybe that was just me.
With a gentle tilt of his head, his lips met mine, and time stood still. As cheesy as it sounds, he had entrapped me. Body, heart, and soul.
The feeling of his lips on mine was nothing short of miraculous.
It was a kiss that spoke of yearning.
It was a kiss that spoke of a love that defied all logic.
And that’s exactly what this was.
Love.
I loved Luca Esposito.
For better or worse.
And hopefully, we’d seen the worst
At that moment, the weight of his past was completely lifted.
Our kiss, the example of tenderness, deepened, and his hands cradled my face.
He was gentle at first, and then all of a sudden, when his tongue sparked against mine, it became a little more passionate, a little more possessive.
I groaned, fueled all of a sudden, as I absentmindedly placed my mug on the table next to me, for fear of spilling it.
I felt my entire being melt into his.
I felt a sense of completeness as if I had found my place.
It was here.
With him.
In his arms.
Every brush of his lips against mine sent waves of heat coursing through my veins. It was a passion and a love that transcended anything I thought to know. And as we broke apart, I felt empty.
Left longing for him all over again.
Our breaths mingled in the unfortunate space between us.
My eyes fell to his, my reflection dancing in the beauty of his irises.
“I love you,” he said.
I closed my eyes, realizing that love had the power to transform and heal.
A tear fell from my eye, and I spoke softly but surely. “I love you.”
