The girl I was back then comes back and I want the answer to that question. The question of what his lips would feel like on mine.
“Maybe you should kiss me.” I hear myself say. “If you want to.”
“I do.”
He comes closer and my heart stills in the cavity of my chest. He angles closer still and I lift my head to meet his lips.
When his mouth touches mine a spike of arousal coils through me, inch by inch slowly possessing me.
It’s still working its way through me when he pulls away to look at me, look deep into my eyes and I can see he has the same question on his mind. The “What did I just do?” question.
Mine is a little more enhanced than that because I’m wondering what I’m getting myself into.
Especially when I want more.
So, when he catches my face and brings me back to his lips for a more demanding kiss, I melt into him like I’m warm butter and I explore him and taste him as much as he tastes me.
As his tongue thrashes into my mouth moisture beads between my thighs and I wish he would touch me all over.
But then he stops again, leaving my mouth burning with fire.
“Come out with me,” he whispers.
“Out?”
“Yeah. We’re in Vegas.”
“But we just kissed.”
“I know. In Vegas. Let’s go out.” He strokes my face and I giggle.
I know from that I’m a little more than buzzing.
“I think I’m on the verge of being drunk.”
“Me too.”
“So maybe we should call it a night.”
“But I want to kiss you again, somewhere that’s not here or in this hotel.”
“I want you to kiss me again, but where would we go?”
“I don’t know, Muffin. All I know is you’re safest when you’re with me.” He stands up and reaches out to take my hand. “You coming?”
“Yes.”

Iroll on to my side and the sharp pain that stabs into my head jangles my nerves.
It also wakes me up a little, but my body feels so heavy I’m stuck between asleep and awake.
I have that mind-fucked sensation that can only be explained with drinking way too much. I just haven’t done so in so long I forgot how to deal with it.
I force my eyes open but close them again when the bright sunlight blinds me.
