“I’m going to kiss you, Erin.”
His smile falls. He slowly stands up and walks toward me. I stay still like I did when he was in my living room at the beginning of our date. I’m looking up. He’s looking down. A current starts to flow through me, through us. He takes a step toward me. I take a step back until I’m flush against the counter.
He’s going to kiss me.
I want him to kiss me.
He puts his hands under my armpits and lifts me onto the counter. I’m closer to his height now, but he still towers over me. I lick my lips. What will he taste like? What will someone other than Kyle taste like?
“I’m going to kiss you, Erin.”
My throat constricts, and I can’t stop staring at his lips.
“You okay with that?”
I nod.
He leans down, placing his cheek on my cheek. He inhales like he’s trying to get my scent deep into his body. I close my eyes, letting this moment be whatever it’s going to be. Don’t overthink Erin. His nose swipes down my cheekbone, and then his lips find mine. I smile at the contact. He wants to kiss me; this beautiful man wants me.
