Chapter 71: First Kiss

I quickly pulled away and gasped for air. "What are you doing?" I wiped my lips and covered my mouth, falling onto my but and leaned back supporting my upper body with my hands.

"I'm sorry…" He cleared his throat. "I thought…I thought it's what you wanted."

"Why would you think that?"

"Well, the first time you jumped me like a mad woman, and all those things you did, I thought you liked me." He quickly stood up, and threw a log into the fire.

"I was being a friend and what do you mean, first time? When did I jump you like a mad woman?"

"At…at the royal ball. You came into the room and just jumped me. The way you moved and did that to me, I thought you wanted to…"

My eyes shifted back and forth searching the corners of my brain for the memory. A quick twinge of pain on my ear, sent the memory rushing back of me jumping some unknown man in the room and kissing him passionately, flew across my mind.
