“She wanted his lips on hers. 

But she didn’t expect their first kiss to happen under such circumstances. At a loss for words, Aurora could only stare at Theo as hundreds of thoughts zoomed through her mind at once.

Is she really going to let him kiss her in front of all these strangers? If she didn’t, he would be embarrassed in front of his friends. 

But they’re my lips! Aurora protested silently. 

But you promised to help Theo, her conscience poked at her.

He's giving me a choice, Aurora thought. 

In a fleeting glance, she caught Audrey smirking at her -- and decided. 

Aurora inched closer with her eyes set on his mouth. Theo took the hint and swooped down to take what she was offering. 

The second their lips touched, it was electrifying.”

He liked that she was becoming more comfortable around him. With a warm smile, he answered, "We're not close." 


Aurora leaned back in her seat again and stared ahead. "I thought all mothers adore their sons." 


Theo detected a bitter note in her voice and glanced at her, then back on the road. "Does your mother?"
