#PreOrderHere
“Do you want me to kiss you?” I trace Mabel’s jawline. The slope of her cheek is warm against my touch. She doesn’t move. Her breath stutters, and that quiet pause between us feels louder than the thunder.
She exhales a shaky breath. “I’m not stopping you. But I doubt you’ll do it.”
She’s daring me to cross a line I’ve walked for years without ever stepping over. And still, I hesitate. Not because I don’t want to kiss her. But because I want it too much. Years of longing crash through me in one silent, unstoppable wave.
The first drops of rain fall, and I move in, then still.
“See, you’re not going to kiss me, are you?” she whispers, not moving, not blinking, like the space between us hasn’t already caught fire.
But I don’t back down. I stay right there, every muscle locked with the control I’m about to lose. I lean in a fraction closer, my lips a breath away from hers.
I draw my thumb across her bottom lip. “Don’t mistake me taking my time for not following through, Mabel.” I slide my hand down and palm her ass. She gasps, and I pull her closer. “You have no idea what I want to do to you. And how badly I want to do it.”
