Tonight.
Right now.
Damn. But Jensen…
After, then.
I’ll tell her as soon as we’re through with the dinner.
We enter the lobby, her—smiling shyly and me—grinning like an idiot.
And then we turn the bend.
Two people catch my eye and I freeze in my tracks.
Because standing in the middle of the hallway is Thad.
And Svena.
Twenty-Nine
Asia
There’s a difference between love and being in love. Being in passionate love with Hansley feels like I’ve stepped into an alternate universe.
It’s the same night sky. The same moon. The same air.
But it’s different.
Everything is heightened.
The sky seems close enough for my fingertips to brush against it. The moon shines brighter. The air smells sweeter.
These shoes pinched the hell out of my toes when I first bought them a few months ago. But tonight? They might as well be two slabs of cotton because I'm floating straight off the ground.
In the back of my mind, there’s still that voice telling me to be careful. To keep some common sense handy in case I need it. But that voice gets drowned out every time Hansley looks at me. Or touches me…
Oh. When he touches me…
I can never go back.
What I’ve tasted and felt with him has become something I want.
Something I need.
Something I can no longer live without.
Tonight feels like… the beginning of a chapter.
This Jensen deal will end Hansley’s busy schedule and we can finally get back to learning more about each other and spending more time together. The thought of it makes me almost giddy.
I squeeze his hand tightly as we walk into the lobby together.
Suddenly, Hansley stops short.
I do too.
My gaze lifts to his face.
