“I’ve got to go,” I said, my voice barely above a whisper as I stood up.I needed to get out of here. I needed space to breathe. Space to think.But before I could take a single step, Jeremiah’s hand wrapped around my wrist.The movement was swift and it threw me off balance.My feet stumbled causing me to fall right into his chest.My breath hitched as his arms instinctively wrapped around me, steadying me against his warmth. His scent wrapped around me like a cocoon, seeping into my skin. Tempting me even further. putting me in a haze.I tilted my head up, meeting his gaze.His eyes locked onto mine, swirling with something unspoken.Maybe Awe.Maybe Longing.Maybe Love.In a split second.His lips crashed into mine.It was not a hesitant kiss.
