“Then what’sthis?”

“Swaying.”

A slow song spills through the speakers just as I spin around, throwing my arms around his neck. “I’ll sway with youthen.”

We slowly move back and forth, somehow closing the gap between us with every step we take and never once meeting the other’s eyes. Our bodies are pressed together, and I’m hotter now than when the floor wasoverflowing.

“Hey, uh,Caleb?”

“Yep?”

“Is that your dick poking me or yourphone?”

He presses his lips together, trying his hardest to hold in his laughter. “That would be my dick,Zoe.”

“Oh.”

Someone slams into me and I stumble, falling even farther into Caleb’s embrace. He wraps his strong arms around me almost instinctively. I don’t move to push away; this is exactly where I want to be rightnow.

The way his body feels against mine…I can’t remember the last time something felt so good as we gently sway back and forth, even when the songchanges.

Everyone moves so fast around us, but we don’t budge. We’re stuck, and we’re not ready to let go of thismoment.

My hands move of their own accord, tracing up his neck and sliding into the hair sticking out of his baseball cap. Without thought, I reach up and spin it around, meeting his eyes for the first time since he came outhere.

“Much better.” I slide my hand back down the side of his face, fingertips grazing over the stubble he’ssporting.

His blue eyes darken, and before I can understand what’s happening, he hauls me closer and presses his lips againstmine.

It takes me a split second to realize what we’re doing, and then suddenly I’m kissing him backfeverishly.

Caleb manages to get ahold of himself, and then his full lips move over mine in a gentle, unhurried kiss. I feel his hands slide over my ass, his brace a firm pressure against me, pulling me closer as I plunge my hands into his hair, pulling at the ends and holding his head tomine.

There’s no tongue involved, and by all accounts, the kiss is chaste, but it feels like so muchmore.

More romantic, moreimportant.

Just…more.

It’s minutes later when he pulls his mouth from mine, lips brushing against me twice before creating any sort of distance betweenus.

My lungs feel like they’re on fire, mouth tingling from the best kiss I’ve ever experienced. I was right about our attraction to one another; I just never thought it would feelthatgood, thatright.

When I finally come back down from the high, I open my eyes to see Caleb grinning atme.

“You got a thing for my hat,huh?”

“You’ve noticed in the two whole days we’ve spenttogether?”

“I noticedbefore.”

He doesn’t have to clarify that before means when he was withDelia.

And now my chest is burning for an entirely differentreason.

I just kissed mybest friend’sex-boyfriend.
