Gavin

I slide a hand along her jaw, and she trembles as my thumb strokes her cheek.

A small rush of air escapes her lips, as if she’s sighing into the possibility of a touch. I move closer and press a soft kiss to her mouth, figuring soft and subtle is the way to start.

She seems to like it that way, and so do I. It works for a little bit, this gentle exploration, as I experience the flavor of her kiss.

But soon, I find myself wanting more of her, and the kiss darts up to another level. It’s hotter and hungrier as my hand loops into her hair, those lush strands wrapping around my fingers.

Savannah kisses me back with fierceness and determination. I respond in kind, raising the stakes—more roughness, more heat.

Then I’m not sure if I’m kissing her or if she’s kissing me. All I know is her back is up against the brick wall of her building. My hands are in her hair, and hers are sliding down my body, grabbing my ass, yanking me closer. She seals her body against mine, letting me know she wants all the same things I do. My mind takes many, many steps ahead to where this could go, to what we could be.

In a heartbeat, her hands are on my chest, and she pushes me away.

I look at her, dazed. “Is everything okay?”

She nods, a little breathless. “I’m okay.”

“Are you sure? Because you just shoved me away. Generally speaking, that means you don’t want to kiss me anymore.”

She sighs and runs a hand through her hair. “I do want to. But I’m going to be totally honest. I don’t think you’re ready for it. And I also don’t want to ruin what we have.” She takes a deep breath like she’s prepping herself for something hard. “I think we need to focus on being friends.”

I try to reroute thoughts already racing ahead to what we could be next. But maybe she’s onto something. Maybe this is the way to demonstrate I’m not rushing into anything post-breakup. “So if we focus on being friends, would that prove to you how I really feel?”

She tilts her face. Her lips are soft; her eyes are vulnerable. “I don’t know. How do you really feel?”

I drag my thumb along her jawline, and she closes her eyes as if it’s almost too much. And then I speak the complete and utter truth. “I’m just beginning to figure it out tonight.”

She opens her eyes. There’s a certainty in her gaze. “That’s exactly why we need to continue being friends.”
