Breaking apart, they stared at each other, both panting heavily. Backing away a few steps, Carly placed her hand on her chest, trying to slow her breathing. Will took a step towards her but she shook her head, taking another step back.

“Will? Are you in here?”

“I’ll be right there, Jacob,” she answered for him, the tremor in her voice less obvious than she would have imagined. “I can’t do this, Will. I don’t want to. You’ll be leaving as soon as you’ve found the person you’re looking for. I won’t be a fling.”

Stepping close, he ran his thumb along her lower lip as he responded. “You’re wrong about two things. You do want to do this; you wouldn’t have kissed me back if you didn’t. And maybe I have found the person I’ve been looking for.”

Excerpt

He lifted her up and swung her around in a circle. She held onto his shoulders, feeling dizzy as he spun her around. After several rotations, he set her back down on the ground but didn’t remove his hands from her waist. Taking a moment to catch her breath, she kept her hands on his shoulders and as her head cleared, she suddenly realized that he was looking at her intently. Her eyes widened in surprise as he leaned his head towards her, then closed when she felt the brush of his lips on hers. The tingling sensation that she had felt in the tunnel was now magnified and as he brushed his lips softly against her mouth, a feeling of warmth spread through her body. She had never been kissed before but she had imagined many times what it would be like. This kiss was so much better than her imaginings. All too soon Boots pulled away, his hands still on her waist. “Is it okay that I kissed you? I know that I should have asked for your permission but you are so beautiful, I just couldn’t help myself.” Ducking her head so that he wouldn’t see her blush, she responded, “Yes, it’s okay. It was very nice. And just so you know, if you had asked, I would’ve said ‘yes’.”
