Lure Excerpt
We stood
awkwardly for another moment before I had to break the silence. “It’s been a
while.”
“Two and a half
years.”
“I thought about
you the past few Halloweens.”
“I thought about
you more than that. It’s actually pretty humiliating now that I’m standing in
the same room with you. I don’t know what I was thinking.” She looked away.
“I lied.”
“About?”
I walked toward
her. I had to wipe that regret off her face. “I thought about you a lot more
than just Halloween.”
“Yeah?”
“Yeah.” I
stopped right in front of her. “You were very memorable.”
“So were you.”
She licked her lips. Again with the lips.
“I probably
should ask you a million questions right now, but would it be okay if we put
those off and did something else?”
“I guess that
depends on what else you want to do?” Her eyes widened slightly.
“I want to kiss
you.”
“I’m okay with
that.” Her eyes seemed to sparkle.
“Yeah?”
“Yeah.”
I didn’t wait
for her to change her mind. I brushed my lips against hers gently. I was going
to keep it short, but I had to know if I was glorifying the last kiss.
She moved her
lips against mine, and any thoughts of keeping it short disappeared. I wrapped
my arms around her as I deepened the kiss, greedily pushing for access beyond
those irresistible lips of hers. She opened up, welcoming me in with the same
intoxicating taste as she had the last time.
She moaned,
encouraging me to continue the kiss. I didn’t need the encouragement. I lifted
her up and carried her over to the couch. I sat down, settling her on my lap. I
needed her close, closer than standing would allow.
Her fingers
tangled in my hair as she let me explore her mouth. My hands ached to explore
more, but I didn’t want to rush it. I’d waited over two years to taste her lips
again, and I was going to enjoy every second of it.
