Excerpt
I
let out a long sigh and glanced up at the ceiling as I tried to find the right
words to say. Yes, he was going to make this as difficult as possible
to walk out the door.
“Lucas,
it’s not that simple—”
“I
know I’m not supposed to think about you all day long. I know I’m not supposed
to want to talk to you every minute of the day, or touch you, or kiss you. But,
fuck—” Lucas closed the space between us and grabbed me by the nape of my neck,
pulling me towards him. “That’s all I ever want to do, Sam.” Our faces were
close enough that our lips were almost touching.
From
the hungry look in his eyes, I thought he was going to kiss me hard, but he was
gentle. A light kiss at first, gentle pecks on my lips, very soft but lingering
longer each time his lips touched mine. His hand slid from my neck to the small
of my back as he pulled me closer. My heartbeat thundered in my ears as I
realized I was about to completely give in. As soon as it seemed the kiss was
about to get deeper, he pulled back. His eyes were shut tight as if he was
fighting with himself to pull away. He rested his forehead against mine.
“Tell
me to stop. Tell me to stop kissing you and I will.”
