“You’re not a man, Knox. You’re my brother.”
“Oh, I’m most definitely a man, baby girl. And there’s not a drop of blood in my veins that runs through yours, too.” I pulled back, met her gaze. “Let me kiss you, Emily.”
I thought for sure she would reject me, but Emily’s gaze dropped to my mouth briefly, which I took as a good sign.
“Just a kiss,” I cajoled. “To show you what it’s like.”
Her breaths were more labored, her lips only inches from mine.
When she didn’t push me away, I took the opening she gave me. Tilting my head, I leaned in until my mouth brushed hers.
Emily remained stone still, but she wasn’t trying to get away, so I licked the seam of her lips.
“Open your mouth.”
Her lips parted, allowing me entry.
I knew then that I had her right where I wanted her.

Knox tasted good.
Like bad decisions and erotic fantasies. Both of which were entirely new to me.
After licking his way into my mouth, Knox teased my tongue briefly before pulling back, peering down.
The way the corners of his mouth curved up caught my attention even as he leaned toward me. I didn’t move. Couldn’t. I was completely captivated by the intimacy of this. The soft puff of Knox’s breath against my lips, the calloused rasp of his fingertips as they moved higher on my thighs, and the unbelievably hard muscle beneath my palms.
Oh, God.
I was touching him.
“Don’t stop now, Em,” Knox whispered against my mouth.
I wasn’t sure what he was talking about. I wasn’t doing anything. I mean, sure, my palms had somehow found their way to his chest, but other than that…
“Good girl,” he breathed softly against my lips.
It was then I realized I was leaning into him, drawing our mouths closer.
My brazen response didn’t seem to shock Knox as I leaned in and let my lips meld to his. I had no idea what I was doing, but by God, I was not going to let this moment pass me by. Until today, I’d never kissed a man before, and I had to know what it felt like. What itreallyfelt like since there was a good chance Knox would be gone tomorrow and who knew how long it would be before I would ever have this chance again.
I wasn’t sure how many seconds passed as I kept my lips puckered up to his, but my thoughts were dangerously close to scattering again, right up until Knox nipped my lower lip.
I whimpered.
“Stay there,” he said when I tried to move back.
The dominance in his tone had me stilling, staring up at his handsome face.
He was watching me intently, his eyes raking over my face as though committing me to memory. I’d never had anyone look at me the way Knox was now. I knew it shouldn’t, but it made me feel beautiful and wanted, something I’d hoped to feel one day.
I inhaled sharply when Knox’s finger brushed my chin before firmly gripping it as though refusing to let me get away. I could’ve easily told him I wasn’t going anywhere. How could I? It was as though we were the opposite poles of a powerful magnet and I was drawn to him.
“I’m going to kiss you, Em. And this time, you’re going to kiss me back.”
