“Now, we’re not kids.”
“What about Chance? He’s still your best friend and I’m still his sister.”
“Eleven years ago, that mattered. We’re in different places now.”
“You think Chance will feel that way?”
“I know he wants you happy.”
“And you think you’ll make me happy?”
“I can sure as hell try.”
I shook my head again, blown away. “What are you saying?”
He eyed my mouth as he leaned into my lips. This was a power struggle—an exchange of some sort that I wasn’t willing to lose.
“I’m saying that I want to see where this can go.”
“Just like that?”
“We’ve known each other all our lives. Don’t you think we’ve wasted enough time?”
“I wasn’t the one who kicked you out of their life.”
“Sugar, I was fucked up back then.”
“Alright, then why haven’t you ever reached out since?”
“Who says I didn’t want to?”
“Wanting and doing are two totally different things.”
“It’s better this way.” He paused to let his words sink in. “Almost like fate bringing us together.”
I asked, “When did you turn into such a romantic?”
In one breath, he shared, “There’s a lot you don’t know about me.”
“Starting with?”
He didn’t answer my question. Instead, he stated, “I’m going to kiss you now.”
Before the last word left his mouth, he crashed his lips onto mine. Shoving me into the floor-to-ceiling glass bay window behind me, he placed his hands on the sides of my head. Slipping his tongue into my mouth, he demanded complete and utter control.
Kissing me fucking senseless.
At a moment’s notice, he went to war with my mouth. For the first time in eleven years, he kissed me until the earth stopped moving and time stood still.
Claiming me.
Owning me.
Branding me.
Making me feel like I washis.
