CHAPTER TWENTY-FIVE

Will circled the small, familiar waist in front of him and lifted Hanna to sit on the counter, away from the mess that was on the floor. And because it seemed appropriate in the déjà vu moment.

Something smooth and wet soaked through his socks, but he ignored the mushy feeling. “We have to stop meeting like this, Hanna.”

A fist clipped his shoulder. “You’re the one that scared the catfish out of me.”

“Catfish?”

In the sliver of moonlight, he could make out her slight shrug. “Dad never liked it when I said ‘crap.’ ”

Will tried not to laugh. His parents would have been thrilled if he’d used such a delicate term. “Catfish it is, then.”

“Sorry about the mess.”

He wiggled his foot and frowned. “What is that squishing between my toes?”

“Yogurt. Your mom said to help myself, and I couldn’t sleep.”

“Carly?”

“Already asleep.”

A cloud must have shifted outside the back window, because the moonlight chose that moment to shine into the kitchen and illuminate the room and Hanna with it.

She wore a fitted T-shirt with shorts shorter than he’d ever seen her in—definitely reserved for sleeping.

And her face. Her lips were tipped into an adorable frown, and her hair was in a high ponytail, making blond hair spill all around her head.

Why women ever dressed up was beyond him. This look was enough to bring a man to his knees.

There were no cameras.

No onlookers to fake out.

But he couldn’t help himself. His hands reached for her face and brought her mouth toward him. When she didn’t pull back, he covered her frown with his hungry lips.

Her sharp intake of breath almost caused him to stop, until she scooted closer and wrapped her arms around his neck and kissed him back.

His brain went crazy as her lips matched his hunger, inch for inch.

This kiss was different than any other. They’d had some great ones on the show, but they had almost all been filled with a bit of theatrics with cameras rolling, and even when not, there’d been a hesitance in Hanna that screamed of innocence.

And since then, all kisses had been for the sake of keeping up the ruse. Well, most of them. There were a few he’d done just to irk her.

But this.

There was nothing innocent about this kiss.

He slid his hands down her body to her hips and pulled her toward him.

That she didn’t resist thrilled him. Instead, her fingers ran through his hair and gripped the back of his head with a passion he hadn’t known she possessed.

His brain on autopilot, he let his hands shift back up her body, savoring every soft curve they met, until he heard Hanna’s gasp. Her arms shoved him away like he was a shark ready to devour her.

Which wasn’t too far from the truth.

Her breath came in shallow puffs, and her arms crossed over her chest as if trying to protect herself from him. “What do you think you’re doing?”

Good question. What had he been doing? He blinked, the heady passion melting away, replaced by an awareness of what had almost just happened.
