Chapter Sixteen

Summer

My head felt like it was swimming as Ethan’s lips pressed against mine in a kiss that made me feel like I was melting away in his arms. None of the questions I had about that text message had been answered, and yet there I stood willingly kissing him back like his mouth held the very breath I needed to exist.

So much for my promises to myself that I’d never fall for him again.

Was it possible that the text message wasn’t for another woman? If not, then who was it meant for? Maybe a friend? Had I blown up our relationship because he had been a good friend to someone when they needed him?

My brain sifted through the memories of those words he’d written to whoever the recipient was as I tried to believe he hadn’t been seeing another woman the whole time we were together. I wanted to accept what he said. The way he made my body react just by a single kiss made me want that so badly.

“God, I’ve wanted to kiss you like that every day since we broke up,” he said softly against my lips.

I closed my eyes and tried to calm my emotions that threatened to unravel all over the place. Ethan had a way of saying things that made me want to give him everything he could ever want without the slightest fight.

But I couldn’t let myself fall for him again so easily.

Stepping back, I opened my eyes and saw that familiar look in his that told me he wasn’t ready to let me go quite yet. His hand slid down to the small of my back and pulled me back into him.

“Stay here with me,” he whispered in a husky voice.

“I don’t know. You have a way of making me feel things I’m not sure I should,” I said looking away.

But I wanted things to be like they were before, so I turned back to face him and saw the man I’d fallen in love with. His deep brown eyes stared down at me in that way that always made me feel like he was studying me, like nothing in the world was more important than me in that moment. I ran my finger along his jawline, feeling the first signs of stubble for the day that he always had by the time I saw him each night. He was the same Ethan as before.

He smiled that sexy grin that never failed to make me feel weak in the knees. “I can say the same thing for you, except I want to feel those things.”

God, I so much wanted to let myself go with him. Maybe if we took things slower than the first time. We had started out going a hundred miles an hour and then got to know one another.

If we were going to take things slowly, I needed to remove myself from right next to his body because from what I was feeling press against my hip, he was already raring to go.
