SNEAK PEEK
Kristian’s response was instantaneous. With a deep growl, he slipped his arms around my waist and pulled me tight against him. He tilted his head then, aligning our lips perfectly, and…fireworks. I gasped against his mouth, stunned by the sudden rush of desire pooling within me. I hadn’t lied to Kristian—I wasn’t a virgin, but I’d never felt anything like this.
A woman measured a man by the way he kissed. The weight of his lips, the pressure of his tongue, but most importantly, the way he made her feel. For me, every kiss prior to this one fell to the wayside, their lasting memories washed away by the feel of Kristian’s mouth against mine. His touch lit me up in ways I’d never expected. It felt deeper than a simple kiss. Almost like my whole world had been righted after being flipped on its side. As though my entire existence had been leading up to this moment.
Kristian broke from the kiss long enough to lean back and stare down at me. He brushed my hair back from my face and blew out a soft breath. “Jesus.”
I nodded. I understood completely and was currently thanking God Kristian had felt something similar. It might have killed me if he hadn’t.
