“Will you let me, please,” he said, his soft voice right next to my ear, though he didn’t touch me. “Brand was feeling confused. I was trying to prove a point to him—that he wasn’t into guys. I’ve known that I’m not completely straight for a long time now. I’ve never hidden that fact, though I usually don’t put it in my ‘nice to meet you’ speech. Cami came along right after that and helped show Brand that I’d been right. I never had anything with Brand. I mean other than a mad cool bromance.”
I huffed out a laugh as his chuckle filtered into my ear.
“Look at me, Ky.”
I couldn’t deny him. My body turned and I was faced with the kindest and sweetest face I’d ever known.
“You don’t have to define it. You don’t have to put it into some kind of box or category. So maybe you’ve never felt this sort of thing for a guy before, that doesn’t make you different or weird, and even if it did, that’s okay, because I feel it too. And I totally want you.”
“Yeah?” I asked with a half smile.
“Oh yeah,” he admitted and it set me at ease.
“I want you, too,” I said and surprisingly there was no hesitation there. “I don’t know what the hell I’m doing and I’ve never had these feelings—not with a woman or a man. You drive me crazy. Being around you makes me angry and makes me happy all at the same time.”
“I’m going to kiss you. This will be the only time I warn you. If you stay, then you’re fair game for whenever I feel like it in the future.”
His words made me smile.
Then he was on me again. I pulled him close, gripping his hips like I wanted to bruise him with my fingers as his lips owned mine.
There was no way to describe what I was feeling right now. I couldn’t even imagine that there were words for it.
