“I am. But you forgot something.” Leaning in, his mouth lands on mine, kissing me far gentler than any time before this. It’s slow, sweet, and corny as hell, but damnit, it makes my stomach flutter with a swarm of stupid butterflies that have appeared out of thin air. The chemistry between us is as electric as it is sudden; a lightning strike I never expected to hit. Yet, now that it’s here, I can’t ignore it, and I most certainly can’t will it away. Truth be told, I don’t want to.
