"I forgive you." She smiled. I knew she would because that's just how Kaia was. She didn't hold grudges. "So, did you have plans tonight?" I shook my head. I didn't have plans because I could only think about her. She literally consumed my brain at this point. "Can I ask you something?" Her face twisted with curiosity, and I could see the wheel spinning.

"Yep." I nodded.

"How do you know when you want to kiss someone?" she asked, her brows pinching together. "Like, I've heard people say they feel something, but I didn't feel anything when I kissed Craig."

So, Craig was his name, huh? I would store that for later.

"Sounds like you kissed the wrong person," I said, the corner of my lip curving up. I knew he was the wrong person because he wasn't me.

"What does it feel like?" she asked.

How did I describe the feeling of desire and give it the credit it was due? I couldn't, but I could show her. Pushing to my full height, I stood directly across from her waist-deep in water. She was definitely high because she didn't even hide the fact that she was eye-fucking me like she normally did. Her gaze trailed over my naked chest as her tongue swept across her lips.

"Stand up," I ordered. "And close your eyes."

"Why?"

"Could you just do what you're told?" I fought the smirk pulling at my mouth.

"That's not really my thing." She laughed, and that was the truth.

"Just shut up." I smirked, reaching out and pulling her to her feet. "And do it."

"Fine," she said, blowing out a heavy breath as she closed her eyes.

"No matter what, do not open your eyes," I ordered.

"Are you going to tell me why?"

"No."

I stepped forward, my body mere centimeters away from hers as my gaze trailed over her full lips, down the delicate curve of her throat, and I realized that the desire I was trying to explain to her was vibrating through me. I wanted to taste that spot on her neck where her shoulder met her throat.

Leaning down, I brushed my lips against the shell of her ear. "It's a hard feeling to describe in words," I whispered, letting the heat of my breath fan across her ear, and a grin spread across my face when I felt her shudder against me. My hands curled around her waist as I pressed my body flush against hers. "So, I'll show you."

She cleared her throat. "Okay," came out as a strangled whisper.

"First, your skin starts to tingle," I breathed, trailing my fingertips over the heated, wet skin of her shoulders trailing down her arms. My lips brushed along her cheek, hovering above her lips. "Then, your breathing deepens." I pressed my forehead against hers. "Next, your stomach feels like a million tiny little butterflies are fluttering." Her lips parted, and her breath hitched as my breath fanned across her lips. My lips brushed against hers, and my mouth watered to taste her. She sucked in a deep breath as my fingertips trailed over the curvesof her neck. "Now, your entire body is consumed with want and need. Nothing else matters but that overwhelming desire and need to taste the other person."

"I feel it," she breathed, and I squeezed my eyes closed, letting the feeling take over.

"Kai," I said, my tone low and husky.

"Hmm," she hummed, placing the palms of her hands flat on my chest.

"I want to kiss you."

"Then do it," she said in a breathy whisper.

"There's no going back," I said, mostly warning myself.

What the fuck am I thinking?

I couldn't kiss her and not keep her, and being attached to one person terrified me. I dropped my hands and stepped back as her eyes flashed open.

"That's what it feels like. Do you need help into the house?" My tone was cold and clipped.

Her brows furrowed in confusion. "No," she said after several long seconds. "I'm fine."
