CHAPTER 29

Lightning shot through to the tips of my fingers and toes. It was such a soft kiss, but the electricity was so strong and explosive, and it made me feel alive. I gasped against his lips.

And that answered the question of whether I’d let him kiss me.

He pulled away only long enough for us to take a breath, then kissed me again. Warmth spread throughout my body. Everything else fell away. The sounds from the restaurant. The entire universe. The kiss started slowly, then became more urgent. This felt so right. I never wanted it to end.

I was melting and drowning and my mind was drifting away. I didn’t want to let him go. I wanted him to kiss me forever. It felt like it was too much and not enough and I wanted more of him. I reached a hand up into the hair on the back of his head and pulled him closer.

He made a growling sound in the back of his throat. The kiss changed to something deeper. Something hungry. Like he couldn’t get enough either. I needed to get closer to him. I felt like I was losing all control.

Then he slowed things down. When he pulled away, I was frozen to the spot and gasping for breath. I stayed there with my eyes closed for a few seconds, then realised I was just sitting there like an idiot, and opened them again.

Daniel was looking into my eyes again. Searching. For what? Maybe he thought I’d be upset with him for kissing me. But there was a whirlwind running through my head and my heart. I was warm and cold, exhilarated, but scared, happy, but shaking. He would probably see it in my eyes. I watched the emotions play out in his. Could feel it somehow. I couldn’t believe that I could feel so much from kissing someone, and that Daniel could feel the same. It was so strange. I wanted to laugh, but at the same time, I wanted to cry. Tears threatened to come. Happy tears. But I wouldn’t let them.

“Your eyes are so blue,” he breathed.

I melted. And yours are so green...

Kissing Malvolio had never felt anything like this. Ugh! I didn’t want to think about him. Not now. Not ever.

What was I doing kissing Daniel? We’d just met. I was crazy. But how and why did he make me feel this way? Surely there was some rational explanation for it. Something that could explain my reckless behaviour and my wild emotional state. Malvolio had ruined everything. I couldn’t even think straight.

Daniel’s face suddenly lost a bit of its colour. “I’m so sorry. I shouldn’t have done that. I don’t know what came over me.”

Oh, no. I felt my cheeks go cold. He regretted kissing me. Maybe he didn’t really care about me. He was going to tell me it was all a big mistake and then make an excuse to leave. The thought of him leaving left me feeling empty inside. I needed his support right now.
