Chapter 13

His kiss was gentle, yet stung with passion. It erased every embarrassment from me. As I tasted the flavor of his mouth, sparks corroded my internals and he did a great job in making the moment moderate enough for public view.

I wanted to hold him, to explore every inch of his mouth, but he pulled away, clearly to avoid things getting heated.

"Let's get going." He smiled and rose up.

It re-dawned on me that I was in public and a few people had cast glances at us, and I swear, I wanted to be swallowed into the ground.

When we took our leave, my lips still pulsated from his kiss, the sparks not leaving me. Dang, he was a good kisser.

We got into his car and I prayed he'd keep the journey silent; he did everything but remain silent.

"Your cheeks are red," he teased me over and over again. My mind didn’t stop racing through the effect of his kiss, so my cheeks remained heated. When he didn’t stop teasing me about it, I hid my face. "Where are we going now?"

"You'll find out."
