So gorgeous.
So close.
It was hard not to pull her into my arms and kiss her.
I clenched my jaw and looked away as we walked up the pathway to the parking lot.
When we reached her scooter, she turned and faced me. “Thanks for sharing that with me.”
“I wish it changed things between us.” I realized I should have kept those words in, but she didn’t seem to notice because she darted across the parking lot.
Her hands flailed in the air as she flew across the lot before she bent down and started whispering to the bushes. I quickly followed her lead and knelt down next to her.
“There’s a puppy in here,” she whispered. “Come here, puppers. Come on.”
It was a struggle to focus on the puppy when she was next to me, stretching her arms into the shrubs with her shirt lifting slightly. I pulled my gaze away and strained to see the small dog.
“Come on, buddy,” I said, snapping my fingers lightly.
The creature hissed and looked up at us, bearing its pointy teeth and a long, naked tail.
“Emily, that’s not a dog.” I pulled her into my arms and stood, backing away.
“Of course, it’s a dog.” She shimmied away from me and bent back down right before she screamed and jumped back again, landing in my arms.
I could feel her heart jumping in her chest as the opossum slinked back into the bushes. She propped her head up and bit her bottom lip as her green eyes stayed on mine.
Kissing her was all I wanted to do in this moment, but I…
Her hands moved to my cheeks, and she lifted herself onto her toes, touching her lips to mine.
My body instantly responded as her soft lips swept against mine.
Emily’s eyes closed as she leaned into me, kissing me some more.
I stood there like stone, feeling every emotion battle inside me until I couldn’t resist any longer. Her lips parted as her body leaned into me.
My arms looped around her waist, bringing her as close as humanly possible. A little sound escaped her lips, which nearly took me over the edge.
She parted her lips, tasting as sweet as ever. Her tongue invited me into her mouth, swirling and playfully teasing me. Emily’s hands slowly worked up my spine. Her fingernails slid along my scalp, tangling in my hair.
Emily’s mouth pressed even harder against mine as she nipped at my bottom lip before sliding her tongue along my lips as I welcomed her into this temporary bliss.
That was the thing with Emily. I didn’t know what she wanted because she didn’t even know what she wanted, and this right here.
Proved that.
As I held her in my arms and my pulse raced with need and excitement, I couldn’t help but wonder if this would be the last time we shared a kiss.
Again.
Because I was ready to love her with everything I had in me.
But I didn’t know if she understood that.
Or even felt the same.
Her curvy body fit into mine so well.
