Knocking, because I’d forgotten my keycard, I swept Natalia into a hug and carried her across the room the second the door opened. Her laughter fueled my good mood, so I spun her in a circle before putting her back on her feet. I was bursting with energy; amped up and ready for battle. My excitement was immeasurable, outweighing any apprehension I might still have over my decision to move forward with our relationship. And as Nat looked up at me with happiness radiating from her face, I couldn’t help but kiss her.

The taste of her lips was enough to send me soaring, and it would have been so easy to lose myself in her. But I was focused on my mission.

Win. Natalia’s. Heart.

I trailed a few light kisses across her cheek before easing back.

Her nose wrinkled and her mouth puckered as she turned her head to the side. “You smell like fish.”

“That’s because I reeled in a few big ones,” I explained, miming the action. “Had to get a picture before I released them.” In a sneak attack, I pulled her back into a big bear hug and twisted to press the front of my shirt into her face. She squealed in disgust and fought to break free, but it only spurred me on. “Are you trying to say I stink?”

“Yes!” she shrieked.

I curled my fingers into her ribs, discovering a particularly ticklish spot that had her squirming and begging for mercy between peals of laughter.

I paused my hands. “Do you give up?”

“Yes,” she panted.

“Then you have to pay a forfeit.” I puckered my lips and waited.

She smacked her mouth against mine, and I relaxed my arms enough for her to get out if she wanted. Instead, she pressed both palms against my chest and leaned back, trusting me to support her as we stood there grinning at each other.

“I’ve got another truth bomb for you,” I said, holding her stare.

“Tell me.” Her smile was encouraging, and the intensity of her gaze always made me feel like the center of her world. It was a heady sensation, and I never wanted it to end.

My heart stuttered once before I continued, more determined than ever to make her mine. “When I decide that I really want something, I become single-minded. I don’t let anything hold me back from going after it.”

She leaned in close. “I kind of noticed that already.” Then she whispered her own secret. “It doesn’t scare me.”

“No?”

“No. It’s actually very sexy.”

“I’m glad you feel that way because I’ve decided I really want something.”

“Oh, yeah? What’s that?”

I paused just long enough to signify the importance of my answer. “You.”

“Me?” Her smile slowly dimmed.

“You,” I repeated. “You and me, to be more specific.”

She stepped free from my hold, and a crease formed in her brow as she spoke. “I thought we decided it was best if we didn’t expect anything more from each other.” Her words were reminiscent of our original agreement, but her voice lacked its prior conviction. In fact, I would say she sounded intrigued by the idea.
