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 Iâve 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. Iâm supposed to feel an explosion of fireworks inside me. Instead, Iâm jittery and panicked.
Adrian pauses, shocked for good reasonsâI hopeâand not because heâs thinking about Isabelle and that this kiss is wrong. Heâll play along when his mind catches up to him, I know he will, but I pray I havenât ruined things between us like I was afraid of earlier in the day at Whitehaven Beach.
Iâm mortified when Adrian pulls back. Not only am I about to die of embarrassment from Adrianâs reaction, but now Iâve made myself look like a complete fool in front of Jakeârejected for a kiss from my own boyfriend.
Adrian meets my gaze, studying my intentions. I donât 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 canât see it too.
After what feels like an eternity, the corners of Adrianâs lips tug upward into a smile. âLetâs get out of here.â He threads his fingers with mine and leads us toward our bungalow.

When I arrive at the front door of our bungalow, my key card wonât 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.
âWhat?â I turn to face him, and heâs 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. Heâs like a predator hunting his prey. As much as I try to command myself, I canât look away. I canât seem to calm my erratic breathing.
Adrianâs gaze flicks down my body and back up. When he speaks, itâs slow and in a velvety deep tone Iâve never heard from him before, sending my pulse faster. âYouâre upset with me. Iâm sorry. You caught me off guard, Verena. No kissing allowed, remember? That was your rule.â
âI panicked. Jake was⦠being weird.â
Adrian steps even closer, leaving hardly any distance between us. His gaze drops to my lips and unapologetically stays there. I can almost
