Chapter 20: Opposing Sides

Hailey’s POV

Owen's lips open against my mouth, as his body pulls mine in. It's as if a shock has broken through all the barriers that so carefully kept us apart from each other, and I can't help but surrender to his touch, as one of his hands grips my cheek, as if he's afraid to let me go, and the other runs up my back, moving up under my sweatshirt along the curve of my skin, warming it with his heated touch.

My lips open for him at the same time, and I feel the sigh that bursts from my lips as his tongue finds mine, as his teeth gently bite down on my bottom lip, not letting go and keeping me held back so I can taste him.

And inside me, his name is repeated over and over a thousand times. My hands come up, embrace him at his neck and I feel the caress of his hair on my face, tickling me.
