This week, my swoon is Trouble From the Start by Rachel Hawthorne!
I slid my hand around the back of her head and brought her in for a kiss. I ignored the pain from my busted lip. I wanted to frighten her away. I wanted her to realize I wasn't good for her. I wanted her to know that I was dangerous, that I didn't care about her, that I only cared about me.
Instead, she crawled onto my lap, straddled my legs, took my head in both her hands, and kissed me back.
And I was a goner.
She tasted so good, like key lime pie. She combed her fingers through my hair, stroked her hands over my shoulders. I thought nothing in my life had ever felt so good.
I rolled her over until she was stretched out on the couch and we were pressed together. I loved how tall she was. She fit perfectly against me. I could never get enough of this, never get enough of her. There was comfort in her touch, gentleness, eagerness. She wanted the kiss, wanted it as much as I did.
