Is that going to happen tonight?
Right now it feels like anything could happen.
“I’m surprised you aren’t a cook,” I say with a laugh, trying to shake off all the thoughts plaguing me right now. “You’re very good at it.”
“Oh yeah? Well, maybe for a while I thought I might be. Like, when I was a kid.”
“That was your dream?”
He cocks an eyebrow at me. “Well, what was your childhood dream then?”
“I’ve always just wanted to help people, that’s it. Which is why nursing is for me.”
Unfortunately, nursing isn’t just about that. It’s about keeping my ear to the streets to hear what’s going on and filter the information to my father. Iwishit was just about helping people.
“That’s a good dream.” Owen reaches out and takes my hand. “I’m sure you’ll be back to that sooner than you know.”
Who the hell knows when I’ll be back to my life, back to doing what I love the most.
That life feels so distant from me now, I can barely recall it.
It doesn’t feel real, only this does.
“Come on,” he says once my hand is in his. “Let’s dance.”
Music starts playing and I stare into his eyes as he pulls me close to him. Holding onto this man’s muscular body is the best feeling in the whole damn world.
I don’t think I’ve ever been asked to dance like this before.
Not to classical music while on a lovely date.
It feels a bit like we’re an old timey couple as we sway across the floor, holding gently onto one another as if we’re the only people in the world. I love it.
I can tell that he adores it too; his eyes flickering with delight.
The butterflies flapping in the pit of my stomach transform into the size of birds. I could assume that I’m just all fired up and turned on by this incredible man, but Iknowit’s something more.
The way I feel is dangerous.
It’s only going to get me in all kinds of trouble.
Instead of pulling back like I know I should, I grab hold of this gorgeous man, needing to taste him and I crash his lips to mine.
Fuck.
Intense fireworks.
Every single time.
As the kiss intensifies, so does the pressure I push against his mouth. I know Owen likes it rough. I think he might have known that even before I came along, but he’s the one who brought that out of me.
But I love exploring it, pushing the boundaries and seeing what feels right…
But this time, he pulls back from me.
He edges away just a little bit.
If it isn’t for that soft smile playing on his lips, I might have panicked that I’ve messed up.
