Chapter 16: The Kiss

Molly’s POV-

Scott slowly lowered his head and gently brushed his lips against mine. It was nothing more than a taste, a tease of his lips, but I felt the impact throughout my entire body. I let out a soft moan and pressed my body closer to him. I had never felt the power of a kiss like this. A few times, a little excitement, yes… a sense of enjoyability… even disgust.

But this was something I had never felt before. An all-encompassing desire seemed to touch every part of my body and filled me with a need for more. I shoved my hands into Scott's hair and tried to pull his head down to deepen the kiss, but Scott resisted.

He lifted his head slightly and looked down into my eyes. “Put your hands to your side.”

There was no arrogant demand in his voice, nothing that reminded me of how Jean-Pierre spoke to me earlier. No ego, just a certainty that I would do as he asked. I dropped my hands to my side and lifted my head to his again.
