I’d hit the brakes after that kiss and now I was the bad guy? No. Fuck no. She didn’t get to keep running away from me. Avoiding me. Standing me up. Especially after that kiss. It was the game changer. Everything was different now. There wasn’t just something between us. There was something life-changing. And the chemistry? It was unlike anything I’d felt before. From the moment my tongue had touched Vera’s, from the second I’d tasted her sweet lips, I’d been hooked. Not a chance I’d let her go now.
