His lips were all I could think about. I wanted to feel them on mine. On me. The look in his eyes reassured me that I wasn’t the only one who felt this way. I stepped closer and ran my hands up his ribs and across his well-defined chest. The chest I had dreamed of licking a variety of things off. I held his gaze as I lifted up on my toes and pressed my lips against his. He immediately took control of the kiss. I closed my eyes and let myself drown in sensations. His tongue tickled the tip of mine, coaxing me to step further into the fire. His hand slipped down my spine to cup my ass and he pulled me even closer against him. The heat from his body radiated through the thin layers of cotton and spandex between us. Even that small amount of clothing was too much. I wanted to feel everything—his entire body pressed against mine. Without breaking the kiss, Noel nudged me backward with his body. Despite my inability to think of anything other than his hands and his lips, I knew he was moving us to a better spot.
