I completely ignore all the safety protocol that I’ve learned from being a woman living alone in an apartment on the bottom floor right off of a busy street. I don’t look through the peephole; I know who it is, I can feel it.

I open the door.

Noah’s standing there with this wild, desperate look in his eyes. The heartbeat that I so carefully returned to normal speed kicks up again, pounding in my ears.

There’s just a moment, one beat of anticipation before he rushes forward, wrapping me up in his strong arms, pressing his lips against mine. He does some kind of magic ninja move, moving us inside the apartment without breaking the kiss. He kicks the door shut.

We kiss like our lives depend on it, like we’ll stop breathing if we don’t. My whole world narrows down to the softness of his lips, the taste of his tongue, and the silky feel of his hair threaded through my fingers.

I’ve kissed a lot of people in my life, but this feels like the first time I’m actually being kissed. It’s different, it’s…more, somehow. I know Noah feels it too, because the franticness gives way to softer, gentler kisses. I feel like I’m floating, like if the two of us completely drifted away in this moment, everything would be just fine.

We part too soon, totally breathless.

“I wanted to do that since I was fourteen,” he says, smiling. I think his post kiss smile is my favorite. The dimples are on display, he looks relaxed and happy. The best.

“I don’t think it would’ve been that good at fourteen,” I tease, playfully brushing my nose against his.

He laughs. “Probably not.”

His arms are wrapped around my waist, holding me close. It’s the safest feeling in the world. He squeezes me closer for a second, and then…

“I want you, Corinna. It’s just…”

“I know,” I breathe. I don’t want to hear all the reasoning for it right now. What I want is to take him to my bedroom and do the dirtiest things to him, then let him lay on me like a warm, sweaty human blanket. “It’s just once, to get it out of your system.”

“Once could never be enough.” He leans in and kisses me again, soft and sweet and longing. I don’t point out that this is at least the 50th kiss in the last five minutes. I’ll take as many as I can get. “I don’t want to go,” he says, and I believe him. I can feel it.

“But you have to,” I whisper. “I get it.” I kiss him once more while I can, and make it last.

“Goodnight Corinna,” he says softly, reluctantly pulling away.

“Goodnight.”

I close the door right behind him, because I can’t stand to watch him walk away.

I stand there for a long time, lips tingling, wondering if he’ll knock again.

He doesn’t.
