Chapter Nine

Penny

My feet don’t touch the ground. Gravity has no hold on me. I’m floating, falling, gliding.

My brain short-circuits as Gabriel kisses me, his lips both wonderfully familiar and fantastically new. My skin sizzles everywhere. Just everywhere. There’s no part of me untouched by this kiss. It’s consuming in every sense of the word. My mind is awash in endorphins, my heart hammers madly with happiness, and my body aches with an almost debilitating pleasure.

My fingers lace through his hair. And yes, his hair is softer than I remember. It’s thick and lush, and I can’t stop touching it. I can’t stop kissing him. I don’t want to break this connection now that we have it back.

I dreamed for so many nights of kissing him again, even as I fought against it. Still he visited me late at night in my fantasies. Hope was the cruelest torment, and it lasted so damn long.

And all those times I hoped, it was for this.

Him wanting me again.

He deepens the kiss, his lips claiming mine, his mouth owning me. Closeness is all I wish for, and he gives it to me, his lean, tall frame aligned to mine, his chest pressed to me, his erection hard as a rock against my hip. I’m barely aware of where I am, whether we’re alone, if it’s day or night. All I know is I want him to take me again, to have me, to make love to me.

I want him to strip me naked, kiss me all over, down my thighs to my knees, nipping my ankles, then back up again, settling between my legs.

I moan loudly into his mouth as my panties dampen. He swallows my sounds, and he’s voracious, as hungry as an animal in the way he can’t seem to stop kissing me. I think we might be as close to fucking as two people who are kissing can be. Quite possibly we’ve crossed some sort of line of public decency as I slam my body against his.

Thankfully it’s New York, and no one cares that our arms and hands are tangled up in each other, or that I grind my hips against him, seeking his hard-on to fill the wild ache inside me. My body is empty and needy, and I’m dying for him to return me to the kind of ecstatic bliss I’ve only ever known with him.

He could fuck me here against this railing and I’d go along with it. I want him that much. I’m about to break the kiss and say take me home now when the faint sound of a dog’s breathing reaches me through the haze of wanting.

My eyes flutter open in time to see an older woman walking a Papillon, and the sight snaps responsibility into focus.

“Shortcake,” I say as I wrench apart from Gabriel.

“Hmmm?” His face is flushed and his eyes are dark and hazy.

“My dog. I need to go. To let her out and take her for a short walk. She’s been alone for hours.
