Can I ask you a question?”I ventured, the wind blowing my hair all around my face.
“If I say no, will you ask it anyway?”
I thought for a moment as I gathered it over one shoulder. “No. I won’t. Because
it’s personal.”
He exhaled. “Go ahead and ask. There’s not much I don’t tell you.”
“You might not want to tell me this.”
“For fuck’s sake, Sawyer. Just ask already.”
“Okay.”I bit my lip for a second. “Why haven’t you ever tried to kiss me?”
He didn’t answer. He didn’t even look at me.
When a five full seconds had passed—which felt like five years—I got nervous. “Never
mind. I shouldn’t have asked. It’s a stupid question, and the answer is none of
my business. Obviously, you’ve just never felt that impulse or you’d have done
it. And that’s fine, it’s totally fine. I don’t know what’s going on with me. I
think I’m just feeling bad about myself, and I—”
He moved so fast, I didn’t even see it coming. One second I was sitting there
gripping my hair over one shoulder, burning with humiliation and wishing a hole
would open up in the sand and swallow me, and the next I felt his lips on mine,
his hands on either side of my face.
My pulse went haywire as the shock and thrill of his kiss moved through me like
lightning. His mouth was warm and firm, and covered mine completely. His lips
moved with slow, strong confidence, and his tongue sought mine with hungry
strokes. I couldn’t breathe, couldn’t think, couldn’t even kiss him back. My
hands remained wrapped around my hair as heat pooled at my center and my mind
spiraled with happy, dizzy, unimaginable excitement. A small sound issued from
the back of my throat—a gasp for air, a plea for more, a cry of blossoming
desire.
Suddenly Noah let go of me, breaking the kiss, and I fell back on my elbows in the sand. I hadn’t even realized he’d been holding me up. I blinked at him as the wind
whipped my hair around my face again.
“Fuck,”he said. “I’m sorry.”
I shook my head. “No, don’t be—”
“I don’t know what I was thinking.”He jumped to his feet and moved a few feet
toward the water, readjusting his cap. Renzo came running over with the stick
again, but Noah didn’t throw it.
For a few seconds, I just lay there on my elbows, staring at Noah’s broad back and
trying to figure out what the fuck had just happened. Last I could remember,
I’d said something stupid and embarrassing, and he’d gone silent. Then all of a
sudden, his lips were—
I closed my eyes as my core muscles clenched. God, he was a good kisser. Even
better than in my fantasy. And I loved the way his hands had grabbed me that
way. Possessively. Hungrily.
