They Met in the Library

“We lie here for a while longer. You’re an excellent cuddler.”


“Good.” He gives me another kiss. And another. “But I know what you were reallyasking.”


“I don’t want this to be a one-time thing. I want to see if it can become…more.”


“Good. I want that, too. I mean, our chemistry is off the charts, but I like you and want to get to know you and see if it can be more than great sex.”


I nod and hide my smile into the pillow.


“Don’t do that.” Gentle fingers nudge my chin until I’m looking at him. “Don’t hide what you’re feeling from me.” His gaze is pleading and intense and hits me right in the chest.


I splay my hand on his back, press even closer—any closer and I’ll be underneath his skin—and kiss him. It’s sweet and tender. A promise of possibilities and hope for a future together


“Are you busy tonight?” he asks when the kiss ends.
