Before I can turn around, I feel him at my back and a chill creeps up my
neck. His hands grip my arms and his hard chest pressing against my shoulders
feels like the safest place on Earth. He leans his head down and puts his lips
at my ear. “I wish you didn’t have to leave.”
My heart skips a beat and then thrums wildly. There’s no way out of
visiting my parents at this point. “Me too. But we still have a little time
together. Thanksgiv—” I scoff when I realize my assumption.
“Of course, I want to spend Thanksgiving with you.”
I grin, though he can’t see it. “I have to admit…it will be tough being
away.”
He runs his hands down my arms before slipping one around my middle. “How
long?”
“I’ll probably be there a couple weeks, home a little after Christmas
maybe.”
I try not to flinch when his hand slides beneath the hem of my sweater
and skates across my bare skin. “I can wait, Mollie. If that’s what you want.”
I don’t want to wait, but I can’t get any words out.
“You said we should go slow. Get to know each other. Be open.” He brushes
my hair to the side, exposing my neck. “I may not know everything about you,
Mollie. But I know you. I know your heart and your will and your
determination…and your vulnerability.” He places soft kisses at the top of my
shoulder, searing my skin. In between kisses, his voice is velvet. “I’m not
sure how it happened, but I feel like I’ve known you my whole life.”
I wrap my arm around his neck and let out a soft sigh. “I want you to
know it all.” Turning my head to the side, I part my lips, calling his to mine.
“To have it all.”
He wastes no time joining our mouths and stealing my breath with his
warmth. A warmth that quickly turns to fire as we taste each other with soft
slow nudges and nips.
Dizzy with need, I pull back to look in his eyes, breathing heavily. His
hand cups my chin, keeping my face, my lips, close to his. “I might have some
broken pieces that aren’t fully repaired…and I might have some blank spaces I
can’t remember…but the rest is all yours.” He kisses me once, gently. “If
you’ll have me.”
