Chapter 11

Destiny’s heart pounded as she waited for Eli to kiss her. She didn’t have to wait long.

He leaned down and brushed his lips across hers. The sensation was nothing like she expected. She’d kissed Jack, and it had felt good, but this was indescribable. A thousand butterflies exploded from a cannon in her stomach and raced through her insides. She was instantly on fire, and yet goosebumps erupted over her skin. She was fire and lightning and electricity all at once, gasping for air and yet needing nothing but Eli. Her lips slid across his in a hungry dance.

Nerve endings exploded and her heart raced. She pulled him closer to her, needing more of him. He quickened the pace of the kiss. Waves of pleasure crashed through her. She was a million stories high, falling faster than she’d ever fallen. She wanted nothing more than to be in Eli’s arms forever.

The rough bark of the tree bit into her back, but she didn’t care. It was a stark contrast to his soft lips exploring hers. She wanted to breathe him in. Lock him in a place inside of her where he would never escape. She felt totally safe with him. Like she could tell him anything, and he would hold it sacred.

His phone vibrated in his pocket and she realized she’d been hearing that sound as they kissed. Repeatedly. Someone needed Eli. Disappointment soured in her stomach and she pulled away from him. “You should answer whoever that is.”

“I don’t want to.” He kissed her again, and the fire flickered over her skin. His lips were tantalizing. Teasing her. Nipping at her bottom lip. His phone vibrated again.

She forced herself away. “What if it’s important?”

“It’s not.” His eyes were half-closed. He kissed her again, and she thought her knees might buckle.

When another sound came from his phone, she reached into his back pocket and grabbed it, pulling it away from him. “Maybe it is,” she said, looking at the screen.

“No!” Eli yelled, but she’d already seen it. Jack’s name.

Confusion clouded her mind. “Jack is texting you? Why?”

Eli looked like he’d been caught stealing from the cash register. “Can I have my phone back?”

A heavy feeling spread through Destiny. Eli was keeping something from him. Lying. Just like Jack started doing. She wanted to cry.

She slapped his phone into Eli’s hand and turned from him, a cold lump of stone sitting in her stomach.

“Des. Don’t be upset. It’s nothing.” He put his arms around her and pulled her to his chest.

She remained stiff. “What does Jack want with you?”

“He asked me this morning if you were with me when you broke up with him.”

Jack was jealous? Upset that she was with Eli? That made sense. But why had Jack been texting Eli instead of her? She looked up at him. “Then he knows we’re together now.”

“Yeah.”

“And he’s upset.”

He paused. “Kind of.”

She placed her hands on Eli’s cheeks. “I’m sorry I jumped to conclusions. I should know better. You’re not like Jack.
