HE’D BEEN RIGHT; it was a gorgeous night. Not too cold, no smell of rain in the air. It was the perfect date.

Then why does it feel so wrong?

He took my hand in his and we walked down to the water, the sand feathery soft under my feet.

“I’m sorry again for whatever that was at dinner,” Cameron said. “I’ve never seen Hunter act like that.”

Never? “It’s fine. Really. Maybe he just had a bad day. Or maybe Cassidy was grating on his nerves already.”

“It could be that. She’s not his type at all.”

My ears perked up. Not his type? What was his type? I wanted to ask, but thankfully common sense kicked in and I kept my mouth shut.

“So…no more trips for a while?” I asked.

“Nah. The film is based here, so now that we’ve got enough funding, we can get started on the fun stuff.”

“The not begging for money stuff, you mean.”

A laugh rumbled from his chest. “That’s exactly what I mean.”

The farther we strolled down the beach, the more it felt as though the heavy weight of tension was fading, being swept away with the rolling tide. Cameron’s thumb rubbed back and forth over mine, and I waited for the words he was working himself up to say.

“I’m not sure if I told you before, but you look beautiful tonight.”

“Thank you,” I said, laying my head on his arm. “You always say the nicest things.” And he really did. In fact, I couldn’t find any faults with him at all, other than the weird feeling in the pit of my stomach whenever we were alone. But that had to be nerves and the anticipation of the first kiss that I knew had to be coming sometime this century.

And then he pulled me around in front of him, and I saw that look again. The it’s-really-gonna-happen-this-time-so-you-better-buckle-up-and-kiss-me-long-and-hard look.

Finally. It was really happening this time. No rain, no blaring alarms, no freezing wind…nothing in the world to interrupt us.

His hand left mine as he cradled my face. “I’ve been wanting to do this for a long time.”

“Me too,” I said honestly.

As he leaned down, I stood up on my tiptoes to meet him. Please feel something. Please let this be right. His lips met mine softly, once, twice. Then my mouth parted for his tongue, my head tilting to the side as we tasted each other.

And it was wrong.

So wrong.

It wasn’t even his kiss, which under normal circumstances would be fucking amazing. My body screamed out, red warning flags flashing all around us that this wasn’t right. Why? Why, why, why can I not have this?

When you’ve wanted someone for so long, it only made sense that it was for a good reason. It wasn’t supposed to be a big stop sign and Frankie Goes to Hollywood’s “Relax” blaring through your mind. It was supposed to be passion and fireworks and the all-encompassing feeling of rightness. Instead, I felt…lips. And tongue. The physical act of kissing that had no impact on me whatsoever.
