This week, my swoon is from The Fine Art of Pretending by Rachel Harris!

"No offense," he says, the rough sound causing my stomach to flip. "But I've waited entirely too long to kiss you again, and simply didn't do the memory justice."

Brandon slides off the hood and grasps my waist, lifting and placing me on the car instead. His palms push my knees apart, and he presses his body between them to get closer, but not close enough. Threading his fingers into my hair, he turns my face toward him, and I meet his gaze briefly before my eyes flutter shut, feeling his warm breath fan across my face.

If he doesn't kiss me soon, it's quite possible I'll explode.

Then I feel it - the heat of his mouth hovering just above mine. I tremble, held in what seems like an eternity in the moment of before. Before our friendship changes forever. Before our real relationship begins. Then, finally, the sliver of distance between our lips closes.
