The kiss lasted less than a minute before I registered the vibrations running through his whole body, and I pulled back. “Whoa. You’re shaking pretty bad there. Are you okay?” “Yes. I just…” He ducked his chin, trying to hide his face. I cupped his cheek and kept him in place. “Don’t freak out. If you need to stop, we stop. No ifs, ands, or buts. You got that?” “You must think I’m pretty pathetic, freaking out over a kiss.” “I don’t think that at all, but I will kick your ass if you don’t stop badmouthing yourself.”
