“For what?”
“To stop this.”
She shakes her head.
Soft.
Certain.
“No.”
That’s all it takes.
I close the distance.
My hand comes up to her face.
Warm skin under my palm.
Soft.
Real.
And then I kiss her.
It’s not careful.
It’s not hesitant.
It’s everything we didn’t say.
Everything we tried to stop.
Everything that’s been building since the moment she walked into my life.
She responds instantly.
Like she’s been holding it back just as long.
Her hands grip my shirt.
Pulling me closer.
Pain flares in my ribs.
Sharp.
Immediate.
I don’t care.
Not when she’s pressed against me like this.
Not when she’s kissing me like she needs it.
Like I do.
I deepen the kiss.
