Judging by how heated things are getting between us now, I’d guess they’re going to get hotter.
Her fingers run down my neck, and she grips my shoulders as if to stop herself from buckling.
I lift her up and she wraps her legs around my waist. Then I press her against the wall again, moaning into her mouth as I taste her.
It’s the oddest thing. There’s a sense of déjà vu as I nip her bottom lip, and yet when she squeals and nuzzles her nose against mine, it feels entirely new and refreshing.
At the same time, her scent, her heat, her heart beating against my chest… it all feels so familiar, like coming home.
It’s like I’ve been walking around my whole life, forgetting who I am and where I belong.
Emily’s kiss of life has awoken in me something long buried.
When we finally tear ourselves apart, we’re both grinning like a Cheshire cat.
Reluctantly, I let her down and she backs away, resting her fingers to her bottom lip.
“Good night,” she whispers.
I whisper it back.
Then I return to my room with my hand placed over my chest. My heart is racing.
Kissing Emily has made me feel something I haven’t felt since before my mother passed away.
Happiness.
EMILY
Oh. My. Gosh. Yes.
Thatwas a kiss worth waiting for.
I lay in my bed, with a pillow clamped over my face to stifle my giggles, and I’m kicking the covers like a little girl.
William’s mouth, his hands, his body… I’ve had a taste, and now I’m addicted.
I want to run back to his room and jump on his bed, eager to taste more.
But he’s too much of a gentleman for those kinds of shenanigans.
And I’m too much of a lady. Right?
I mean, we’ve known each other for days. It’s too soon.
Right?
Right!
I swoon and sigh, letting my body relax into the bed. Forgetting all about my worries for a moment. That is, until they all come flooding back.
I sit up bolt right with a gasp and take fistfuls of my hair in horror.
“I just made out with William,” I whisper in the dark like I’m at confession.
Just great. The first guy I really connect with for years, is the same guy I’m lying to.
He’s the one person I can’t have a future with.
