Page 67 of All I Need

“It’s okay. I was here early too.”

I wonder if she hears the implication in my words. That I couldn’t wait to see her either.

She nods and I watch as she fiddles with the strap of her purse that’s slung over her shoulder. “I…” she blows out a breath, seemingly both nervous and excited.

“Come here, Ellie.”

Her head jerks up and a slow smile overtakes her face. I meet her in the middle, taking her in my arms.

“I missed you,” I murmur into her hair.

“Me too,” she whispers.

Peppering kisses along her jaw, I smile when I feel her press deeper into me. She tips her face up and with urgency, I take her mouth with mine. Sliding my hands down her back, I grip her butt and squeeze with just enough pressure that it brings out a sexy moan. Swallowing it down, we make out like we’re the last two people on earth and it’s our responsibility to repopulate the earth by kissing.

It feels so good—so right—to have her in my arms. I don’t know if I’ll ever be able to let her go. By the way she’s holding me back, I dare believe she feels the same way.
