Cole’s kiss is fire; electric. Every inch of his touch is like taking a torch to my skin, but the burn isn’t painful—it’s anything but.

His hand trails down the side of my neck. Goose bumps erupt across my flesh as his fingers find my hair, twisting around the length before giving it one swift jerk; not hard, but hard enough that my mouth falls open on a small yelp.

And then he’s there, swallowing up the sound, making me open up fully to him. I’ve never felt anything like the way Cole kisses. He leaves no part of my mouth untouched, no part of my body unfeeling. He winds me up so tightly I feel like when he finally lets go I’m just going to spin out of control.

“You know,"—he pulls back and whispers against my mouth—“we could always skip the store and stay here.”

“But I was promised waffles,” I tease, wrapping my hands around the back of his head and pulling him back to my lips.

He groans, tightening the grip he has on my hair.

“Fuck waffles.” He spins me around, his mouth never leaving mine as he guides me backward.

The back of my legs collide with the side of his bed moments before I tumble onto the mattress, Cole coming down directly on top of me.

This is not what I planned on happening ten minutes after showing up unannounced at his door. But I guess when you have as many years of pent-up sexual frustration as we do, there’s no reason to dance around it.

I want him. I’ve always wanted him.

Cole pulls away from my lips, pushing my hair away from my face as he stares down at me. Seconds turn to what feels like minutes, and yet all he does is stare. I shrink a bit under his gaze, feeling suddenly self-conscious.

“What?” I finally ask, feeling like I might explode if he doesn’t say something already.

“I’m just taking it all in,” he says, tracing my cheek, along my jaw, and then back up to my forehead. “I can’t tell you how many times I’ve imagined this. Even in my dreams you were never this damn beautiful.”

Words fail me, but thank God I end up not needing them because with that, his mouth comes back down over mine.

Cole Lincoln. I’m kissing Cole Lincoln. I’m in his bed. In his arms. Oh my God, I have to be dreaming.

My heart beats like a cannon firing inside my chest. My body trembles under his touch. And even though I’m terrified, I’ve never wanted anything more.

Cole Lincoln, the boy I’ve loved almost my whole life. I never dreamed he’d kiss me this way, touch me this way, whisper the things he does as he slides my shirt from my body, touching every inch of my skin as it’s exposed.

He strips me bare and not just of clothing, of everything. His eyes roam over my body like he’s memorizing every piece and part of me. He kisses my stomach, my collarbone, and the spot behind my ear that always makes me shiver.
