Chapter Twelve

It was the second time she’d kissed him on purpose, but Emma knew from the moment her lips touched his that this kiss carried an entirely different meaning. The stolen kiss in her mother’s hallway had been innocent—well, mostly innocent.

This one was anything but.

Seth’s lips parted beneath hers instantly, his tongue darting out to tease hers. She played along, light tastes, flickering strokes of her tongue against his. It was gentle, playful, but with her hand still trapped against his chest, Emma could feel the beat of Seth’s heart pick up to match her own. She felt his hand tuck her hair behind her ear, then trace a path down her cheek. It was a light touch, and heartbreakingly gentle. It made her wonder what he felt, whether he would ever tell her. There was time, she thought.

Except sometimes there wasn’t. She knew it well, and that knowledge had colored every aspect of her life. Even now, as she flattened her palm against his chest, as he allowed her to slowly slide it down the length of his torso without letting go, she felt the same wild desperation that had always driven her to either hang on so tight it hurt, or to run while she could.

Instinct said run. But he was so warm, and the kiss was the kind of bliss she had only imagined. Emma couldn’t pull away.

She sank into it, savoring the way his breath caught when her fingers played over his stomach, down, then up again. She loved the way he was built, slight but strong. And she’d spent far too much time imagining what he would look like, feel like, if she ever got brave enough to see beneath his uniform. Seth released her hand to hook a finger in her belt and pull.

“Come down here with me,” he murmured against her lips. “Wouldn’t want you to get uncomfortable.”

She smiled. “Very chivalrous of you.”

“You’re lucky I was good at English or I’d think you’d just insulted me.”

“Hmm,” she said, shifting onto her side, unfolding her legs, and stretching out alongside Seth on the floor. Knowing he watched her, she took an extra few seconds to adjust her skirt, then offered an amused smile. The new position was more comfortable . . . at least in some ways. “I think you like my vocabulary. I think it’s an aphrodisiac.”

His soft laugh rippled over her skin, making her shiver while he made room for her head on the pillow beside him. “Sure. Your having your hands all over me for the last half hour had nothing to do with it.”

“Shh,” Emma said as she snuggled up against him, pressing a finger to his lips. “Don’t shatter my illusions, please.”

She could feel his smile, and he kissed her fingertip. It was a small, sweet gesture that managed to silence every doubt she had. They would no doubt return in force at some point, but for now, there was only silence. Emma wanted to enjoy it while she could.
