At my words, the tension in Skye’s body loosens. Neither of us likes the enclosed space, but I can tell that with me here, she feels safe.

I’m not surprised that when she’s around, I’m not bothered, either. There is something between us, and as much as my emotions regarding Skye Matthews have ping-ponged over the past month, one thing is certain: I want her.

The need to seal her mouth with mine is all I think about. It consumes me. What will she taste like? Minty? Or maybe like strawberries? When she turns ever so slightly, my lips graze hers. Neither of my guesses were correct. She tastes like redemption.

I want to grab her and pull her into me, but I don’t. Not yet. I can wait. I won’t be greedy. I won’t take something not freely offered.

In the bathroom on the plane, it was clear she wanted me, but now I need her to make the first move.

She tilts her body closer, her lips touching mine, and that’s enough invitation. I wrap my arms around her and pull her close until our bodies touch. The tiny space between us is gone. We are fused like magnets. A groan escapes my lips at how small she feels next to me.

“We shouldn’t.”

Her words tickle my lips.

“Wrong answer,” I growl.

“Yes,” she whispers, and I finally take what I want.

“Right answer.” Our lips fuse.

Her lips are pliable under mine, opening of their own accord. My tongue swipes against hers, and she purrs in my arms.

Tongues tangling.

Hands roaming.

It’s hungry.

Desperate.

She’s kissing me as if she will never kiss me again. Which is not okay, so I kiss her harder. Implore with my mouth that this is happening. We are happening. I devour her until her small hands rest on my chest, and I move to pull away, resting my head on her forehead. I let her catch her breath.

“We shouldn’t have done that.”

“Do I need to kiss you again to show you why we did?”

“Maybe?”

“Maybe isn’t a yes. I want your yes.”

“You didn’t get one the last time . . .” she trails off.

I level her with my stare. “Yes. I did.”

“I don’t think—” Her words are interrupted by a scuffle somewhere near the door. The noise is loud and jarring against the quiet and isolation in the closet. Skye’s body tenses beside me. I can feel the rigid edges of her spine where I hold her. I pull my lips away.

“What’s going on?”

“I don’t know, but I am going to find out.”

“Do you think it’s safe?”

I would laugh, but something tells me that wouldn’t be the appropriate way to respond to her. Instead, I lean down and place a kiss on her forehead.

“I’ll be okay. You don’t have to worry about me. Now, stay put and be quiet. I’ll be back.”

“Okay.”

“Wait for me.”

“Okay.” Skye draws in a deep breath as I crack the door open before leaving.

She probably doesn’t want to stay in the closet, and I probably shouldn’t leave her in there, but I’m
