I'm swooning over...
Break Free by Amber Garza
He swallowed. "I need you to say it. I need to know that you mean it."
I was afraid I wouldn't be able to speak. Afraid I wouldn't be able to utter the words. "I-I-" I paused. Could I say it? When my gaze dropped to his mouth, to his full lips that I wanted to taste so badly, I knew I had to. "I want you to kiss me, Kyler."
His gaze dropped to my lips and for a moment he studied them like they were the most spectacular things in the world. He tightened his hold on my face, but not in a harsh way. Hesitantly I reached up and placed my hands on his hips. He moved closer, his heart pounding against my chest. It gave me satisfaction to know it was beating as erratically as mine was.
His top lip barely brushed mine. "Are you sure about this?"
"Yes," I whispered. My knees softened when his lips found mine once again.
"You say the word and I stop. Just one word, okay?"
"Okay." I gripped the fabric of his shirt in my fists.
His lips were moist, and his mouth tasted like mint. The kiss started out slow, timid, both of us fumbling to find the right rhythm. We were a jumble of lips and hands, of sharp breaths and beating hearts. As his fingers trailed over the skin of my face, I reached up and touched the back of his neck, my hands slipping under his hair. The kiss intensified, our tongues finding one another. It was like the soundtrack to a movie, soft at first, then manic and loud, and then soft once again.
