It really is.

When I pull back, I'm breathless. Dizzy. Unable to articulate anything running through my head. "Hunter, I…"

"Yeah?"

"Are we… what are we?"

"I want to be with you, Em."

"Like boyfriend girlfriend?"

He nods.

My shoulders relax. "Really?"

"Fuck yeah." He wraps his arms around my waist. "You're the best thing that's ever happened to me."

"But… Brendon… and—"

"We'll figure it out."

"You sure?"

"Yeah."

I stare back into his eyes. So I can feel that certainty.

There isn't a single hint of doubt in his deep blue eyes.

This…

We…

Holy shit…

I dig my fingers into his hair. "Say it again."

"I want to be with you."

I rise to my tiptoes.

Press my lips to his.

Any reservations in my brain fall away.

I part my lips to make way for his tongue.

Arch my body into his.

Tug at his hair to pull him closer.

God, he tastes good.

And this—

This is everything.

I need to be with him. To tear his clothes off. Touch him.
