Chapter 6

Rex

I don’t know what’s happening. I don’t know what’s come over me.

I know what’s going to happen but I can’t seem to stop myself.

Bad idea, bad idea, bad idea…

But I kiss her anyway.

I couldn’t not kiss her. Not when she was looking up at me with those big blue eyes filled with so many emotions. Not when she was finally here, where she belonged—with me. Not when I finally had her close, could smell her scent and feel her warmth and…

It was useless to deny it.

The pull was too strong.

I claimed her lips with mine in a kiss that was fierce and passionate. Probably not at all like her first kiss should be. I should have been tender and sweet, but I was too overcome.

You.

Me. She’d wanted me to be her first kiss. My mind was still reeling as my lips met hers. I felt her gasp. I tasted her surprise and her answering passion and…her.

I finally tasted Jessica Morrison.

I groaned when her lips parted and our lips clung, our tongues teased and tested.

This wasn’t a kiss—it was perfection.

And it was such a bad idea.

The thought was there and gone, driven out of my head by the way she responded to my touch. She hesitated at first but as my lips moved over hers, she met me kiss for kiss. Her lips clung to mine as she mimicked my movements.

Her first kiss.

This was her first kiss.

The thought did something to my insides. It made my chest ache and I dragged her to me, wrapping my arms around her and crushing her against my chest as I tilted my head for better access.

Mine.

This feeling of possessiveness shocked the life out of me, but I couldn’t deny it. I didn’t want anyone else to be her first kiss. I didn’t want anyone else to kiss her.

Ever.

She gave a soft, sexy-as-sin moan in the back of her throat and all at once reality came back to me. Logic and reason reared their heads and I pulled back.

Bad idea.

I knew it was but for the life of me I couldn’t remember why.

She opened her eyes and stared at me and I… I froze. The full force of what I’d just done hit me in the chest like a weight.

What she’d said was still making my head spin.

I couldn’t process.

I couldn’t deal.

Her eyes, which had been dazed and bright and beautiful, grew shuttered in an instant. But not before I saw a flicker of hurt. Of disappointment.

Crap.

This was why it was a bad idea. Someone would get hurt.

Jessica would get hurt.

And our friendship…?

Oh crap.

Our friendship would never survive.

“I can’t.” The words came out of my mouth all choked and weird. It wasn’t what I wanted to say. It didn’t come close to covering everything that I was feeling. “I’m sorry,” I said, backing away so I could think. So I could breathe. “I just…I can’t.”

I watched her swallow, I knew she was fighting tears.

I was gutted. There was nothing worse than hurting the one person I never wanted to see hurt.
