Chapter 14

When Riley’s lips met his, Jalen’s heart stopped. Nothing could prepare him for the silky-soft feeling. He’d kissed a girl before, but that was when he was an awkward teenager, and it hadn’t ended well. It also hadn’t lasted more than two seconds. This was an entirely different experience.

Her kiss was slow, like a lazy dance on a summer afternoon. It took his breath away. He matched her movements, his lips tugging at hers, pulling her body closer and taking in every sensation that washed over his skin. The music of their kiss wrote itself into his soul. It was a slow song, the tempo accentuated with his beating heart.

Her hands slid up his arms, and his hold on her tightened. Did she know what that did to him? He kissed along her jaw and down her neck, feeling her pulse under his lips. He could so easily get lost in her. The smell of her skin. The feeling of her in his arms, pressed up against him. She cupped his face, dragging his lips back to hers.

Her fingers explored the skin just below his mask as her lips sent more waves of desire through him. With one flick of her hand, she could take his mask off. It was unnerving, yet he fully trusted her. In fact, at this moment he no longer cared about being in disguise. If she unmasked him, he knew he would not hide his face from her.

The more he thought about it, the more he yearned for her to know the truth. For her to see who he really was and accept him. He wanted her to know who she was kissing.

Her fingers stilled at the edge of his mask. He almost whispered for her to go ahead and take it off, but his security was watching. And anyone could walk around the corner. Now was not the time. He pulled back from her, breathless, his heart beating so fast he could barely get in enough air.

Riley peered up at him, a smile spreading across her face. “Wow.”

“Wow? That’s what you say?”

“Well, that was pretty amazing.”

“I’m glad. I’m not very experienced in that area.” Heat rushed to his face. Why had he said that?

A puzzled look came over her face. “What do you mean?”

He pointed to the theater at the end of the block. “Do you want to see a movie?”

“You’re not getting away with that. Tell me what you meant first. Surely you’ve kissed a girl before.”

“I have.” A quick glance at her told him she wasn’t satisfied with that answer. “We were both sixteen, and I had a crush on her. Her parents were friends with mine, so she went out on a pity date with me because her parents pressured her to.”

Riley frowned and shook her head. “This doesn’t sound like it ended well.”

“Yeah, the kiss was brief and not very welcome. I probably should have asked, but I was young and thought I knew how the world worked.” He tugged on his shirt collar.
