“We’ve already been over this. I’m not soft in any way. Nope, not me.” I shake my head.
“Sure.” She prods me in the chest. “I don’t believe you. Do you want to know why?”
“Go on, hit me.” I pretend to shoot an arrow.
“You love me. Like, really love me. That means your heart isn’t full of ice.” She looks pleased with her answer.
I shrug. “I’ve never loved anyone except you.” I flip it back on her. I can’t deny my love for her, but she’s the exception, not the rule. We stare at each other. Her eyes are so beautiful. Her button nose is perfect, and those lips are so kissable. Without thinking too hard, I lean in and touch my lips to hers, giving her a quick peck.
“What was that for?” she asks when we break apart. I’ve been wanting to do that for a while. It might be selfish, but I’m not the saintly one.
“You’re right. You’re my weakness.”
She blinks a few times. “So you kissed me?”
“Yes.” My eyes shift over her face, watching her expression closely.
She moves fast towards me. Her lips touch mine, and she starts to kiss me. Not the quick touch like I gave her. She puts more into it. She devours me like she’s starved, sending a pulse down to my core. Her lips are soft and taste of strawberry. They’re the most luscious lips I’ve ever touched. She finally breaks the kiss, and I feel drunk with lust.
“What just happened?” I ask, feeling a bit overwhelmed, confused, and horny.
“You tell me. You were the one doing the kissing.” She touches her lips with wide eyes. Her expression is like a scared, feral animal. I might have started what just happened but she was the one that finished it.
Instead of blaming her, I say, “I felt movement. You were definitely kissing me. You practically jumped me.” I squeeze my thighs together. That feeling between my legs isn’t supposed to be there.
“Impulse. I had the urge and I gave into it.”
“Okay.” Lara is usually cautious, but I don’t question her further because I don’t want to ruin the moment.
We look at each other’s lips again. “Is this a thing we do now?” She blinks a few times, then her gaze drops back to my lips.
“It might be.”
She grabs my cheek and our tongues meet before our mouths. This time. it’s even more intense. Our kisses are hungry and a tingle starts to slicken between my legs. This is so wrong, and right, and I want more. My hands run over her ass. It’s firm and hotter than I imagined.Wait, when did I think her ass was hot?I’m not thinking clearly, and her butt isn’t the only thing I want to touch. Like a horny teenager, I grab at her pyjamas, unable to control myself. Even if I wanted to, I couldn’t put the brakes on right now. I’m too invested in getting my own way. I squeeze her tits. They’re the perfect handful. Not too much and not too little. A moan leaves her mouth before she deepens the kiss. She has more self-control than I do and she brings everything to an abrupt halt.
“We can’t do this,” she says before rolling away.
“Why not? It felt pretty incredible to me.”
“Because in five weeks, you’re going to leave, and then I won’t see you until Christmas.”
“I make one great Christmas present.” I arch my eyebrow, trying to keep the mood light.
She runs her fingertips over my collarbone and it feels amazing. “I’m sure you would, but we need to be smart. We’re friends, and that’s why we’ve had each other all these years. I don’t want to be jealous of anyone who gets to spend more time with you than I do, and I would if we took this any further.”
“Aww, that was a cute compliment.” I touch a strand of her hair. “As much as I’d like to say you’re wrong… I can’t.”
“Okay, so back toThe L Word?”
“No. I have a better idea. Let’s tell ghost stories like we did as kids.”
“Okay, but only if I can hold your hand.”
“Deal.”
The stories are lame, but it’s fun. Spending time with my best friend is something I’ve missed and I didn’t even realise how much. The problem is, I enjoyed that kiss more than anything and now my lustful thoughts are amplified.
