I KNEW AT some point today I was going to kiss her. I didn’t know when or how. I just knew that I was.

I’ve never been one to kiss girls. I can probably count on one hand who and when. It’s just never been my thing. Kissing to me, for whatever reason, is so much more intimate than anything else.

Walking down the beach with her, collecting shells, I was so happy in that moment that I needed to wrap her in my arms and hold her to know that the moment was real.

I’ve never wanted the responsibility of having to deal with another person. I never wanted the strings or drama that comes with having a girlfriend. I’ve heard all of the guys over the years complain about one thing or another and every time, it just confirmed to me why this was something I never wanted in my life.

And to be honest, I didn’t even know if I was capable of emotionally connecting to anyone. I’ve never been very high on my own self-worth. I mean, if the one person in the world who’s supposed to love me more than anything doesn’t, why would I think someone else will?

When Ali said that she wanted to be mine, I felt the shell around my heart crack. The walls I’ve built up around it over the years start to crumble and I can feel each brick fall away. No one has ever wanted to be mine. All these years, girls have chased after me and every time it was the same thing—they wanted me to be theirs. Belonging to someone else was never going to happen. But then Ali crashed into my life, literally, and refused to move out of the way.

Looking down into her beautiful face, she’s closed her eyes. This gives me the opportunity to memorize every detail of this moment: her ivory skin that’s so soft and perfect, the silkiness of her hair, and her gorgeous bee stung lips. I’ve never seen anyone as breathtaking as her. Her lips part slightly, and I can’t wait any longer.

Closing the distance between the two of us, I finally press my mouth to hers. The moment our lips touch, an electric zap shoots straight down my body and into my toes. Every part of me tingles and hums.

I let go of her hand and move mine around to the small of her back. I pull her into me. I need to feel her body flush with mine. My self-control slowly slips and I am filled with the need to devour her. Her tiny hands gently touch my stomach and she slides them up over my chest, across my shoulders, and to the back of my neck. She flips off my hat and then slides her fingers into my hair, while at the same time, pulling me tighter against her. I can feel her slipping as well.

Everywhere she touches me heats like I’ve been burned. No one touches me, ever. Having her little fingers feather across my skin is so foreign to me that I shake.
