Those big eyes of her finally find mine, and I drink in her soulful gaze.

There’s something in that look that…

Oh shit, she’s…

Does she like me?

I’ve seen that look enough times to know it.

Girls crush on me. I’m not being arrogant, they just do. I’ve been hit on more times than I can count, and I know this look.

But I also don’t.

Because she seems to see me in a way that no one else can.

She thinks I’m smart, capable of more than just football, and…

I brush my thumb over the curve of her cheek, my eyes darting back to those plump lips again. They look so fucking kissable, and I really shouldn’t.

I can’t go getting distracted by my tutor this way.

But how can I not kiss those beautiful lips?

She’s staring at me like I’m something special… like maybe she wants me to kiss her.

So before I can talk myself out of it, I lean a little closer.

Her breath catches for just a second before my lips press against hers.

CHAPTER 24

ELIZABETH

What is Wily doing?

Oh my gosh, he’s kissing me. He’s actually kissing me!

And this isn’t some mindless peck on the lips after handing in an assignment. He’s put some thought into this. He stared at me for a breath-stealing moment, then glanced at my mouth and made a choice…

To kiss me!

Wily Wilson is kissing me because he wants to.

Holy shit.

What do I do with this?

Uh… maybe you should kiss him back.

How?!

I’ve never kissed a guy before. I have no idea what I’m doing, and it’s taking everything in me not to freak out.

Just breathe.

His lips are covering my mouth. How am I supposed to breathe?

I can’t do this.
