About your kisses. Your hands. What it would feel like when you touched me. Wishing that you were in my bed with me.” I ran my lips over my mouth. “I want you,” I breathed. “So much, Matthew.” “I told you, I’m not going to fight this anymore,” he said against my ear, before placing a kiss there. Nibbling at my earlobe. “I can’t. I can’t ignore what I feel for you, Noelle.”
