Chapter Eighteen

Fuck! What am I doing?

Here I am, standing in front of Jake, breaking all of my rules and giving Adrian an open mouth kiss. Countless times I’ve fantasized about my first kiss with Adrian, the two of us swept up in passion and desire, our breaths tangling as one and his hands weaving through my hair. I’m supposed to feel an explosion of fireworks inside me. Instead, I’m jittery and panicked.

Adrian pauses, shocked for good reasons—I hope—and not because he’s thinking about Isabelle and that this kiss is wrong. He’ll play along when his mind catches up to him, I know he will, but I pray I haven’t ruined things between us like I was afraid of earlier in the day at Whitehaven Beach.

I’m mortified when Adrian pulls back. Not only am I about to die of embarrassment from Adrian’s reaction, but now I’ve made myself look like a complete fool in front of Jake—rejected for a kiss from my own boyfriend.

Adrian meets my gaze, studying my intentions. I don’t see any of the heat in his eyes that was present a moment ago when I whispered dirty talk into his ear. Just plain confusion, and I pray Jake can’t see it too.

When I arrive at the front door of our bungalow, my key card won’t work, no matter how hard I try to unlock the door. Adrian waltzes up behind me and takes the card from my hand, buzzing us in on the first attempt.

Smug bastard.

I dart inside, but Adrian snatches my hand before I get far.

“What?” I turn to face him, and he’s right there. Right in front of me, my vision blocked by broad shoulders and his gorgeous face.

I take one step back, but Adrian closes the distance with a step forward, the same dark and hungry look from the dance class returning to his eyes. He’s like a predator hunting his prey. As much as I try to command myself, I can’t look away. I can’t seem to calm my erratic breathing.

Adrian’s gaze flicks down my body and back up. When he speaks, it’s slow and in a velvety deep tone I’ve never heard from him before, sending my pulse faster. “You’re upset with me. I’m sorry. You caught me off guard, Verena. No kissing allowed, remember? That was your rule.”

“I panicked. Jake was… being weird.”

Adrian steps even closer, leaving hardly any distance between us. His gaze drops to my lips and unapologetically stays there. I can almost
