I don’t know how we got there, but we suddenly faced each other with only a few inches of space between us. I could feel the heat radiating from her body. Little sparks of electricity moved between us.
My body was wide awake now. All I could feel and sense was her.
Her sweet vanilla and strawberry scent filtered into my nose. My eyes moved down to her parted, plump lips, her low and breathless gasp filling the silence.
The ever-growing need to touch her increases with each passing second. Her body called to me in ways I could not form into words. It was carnal and unhinged.
My hand moving on its own accord, I brushed the stray piece of hair that had fallen out of place. When my fingertip contacted her skin, instant shock waves of electricity shot throughout my arm.
She must have felt it because her eyes dilated, and her body leaned more toward me. The tension grew thicker, and the heat that moved throughout my body now headed down to my groin.
“Nathaniel…” she said my name almost like a silent plea. She leaned into my hand, her eyes closing at the contact. When her eyes opened again, I saw the heat and the desire. I saw the need for this forbidden fruit that hung before us.
We were teetering on a very fine line.
Danger and destruction. Passion and desire. Temptation and sin.
I don’t know who moved first, but suddenly the distance between us was closing. Inch by inch, we moved, tentative, scared, and curious.
My eyes had flitted closed, waiting to feel her soft lips on mine again.
“We’re back!” Xander’s voice caused me to jump away from her like I had been burnt. “And we brought more alcohol!”
I looked to Amelia, who had already turned from me and busied herself with the remainder of the plates.

I was playing with fire, and I was about to get burnt. I had gotten lucky a few times, but my favorite pass time these days were challenging fate.
The man had gotten under my skin in ways no one ever has. Seeing him from across the hallway damn well nearly sent me into cardiac arrest.
Last night I had watched him from the corner when I was coming in from my run. He was carrying groceries, and I kid you not, my whole body was excited that this man was carrying groceries into his house.
I was losing it.
So, what does one do when they are borderline losing it? They head to an arts and crafts store to go and buy a stress relief coloring book.
As I was sitting sifting through the various sections in the store, I found my mind drifting back to the man I was so desperately trying to forget.
That moment in Xander’s house was a close call, and I knew we couldn't afford moments like that again. It wasn’t safe for either of us. But I so desperately wanted a moment like that to arise again. I wanted to feel his touch and his gentle hands on my skin.
I was not shy to say that Nathaniel Cane had plagued my mind since the first kiss. I had tried everything: my fingers, high-pressure water. I had even purchased a new vibrator. I had gone to great lengths to try and get this man out of my mind.
Maybe it was the fact that I hadn’t had sex in almost a year now. Jacob and I had stopped being intimate three months before we broke up. In hindsight, I should have seen that as a sign that he had detached, but I was a fool and in love with a fool. Now, here I was, pining after his older brother.
I had no shame.
I groaned, flipping through the coloring book I was thinking of getting.
“Who am I kidding?” I slammed my head with the book. “What am I going to do? Color the horniness out of me?”
I heard a gasp beside me, and my neck snapped to the left to find an older woman giving me a disapproving look.
My cheeks blushed. “Oh no, I didn’t mean….”
“You kids of today have no shame,” she scolded me, waving her paintbrushes in her hand. “Get cleansed!”
