Somewhere in the middle of that little speech I’d stopped breathing. “Wow,” I gasped. I was blown away. Gone.
Above me, Andy just smiled. “But no pressure, right?”
Looking up at him, I giggled suddenly. And all the tensions of the evening fizzed up, shaking my stomach with laughter. For a second I thought that I was going to totally lose it, the way that laughter sometimes grabs a hold of you and won’t let go. It was entirely possible that I was about to become hysterical.
But Andy just smiled wider. Then he lowered his grin to my jaw and kissed me there. And then he kissed the sensitive spot under my ear. And my neck. And my collarbone.
The laughter died in my throat, and I relaxed onto the bed.
“Is this okay?” he whispered, bringing his body close to mine.
“Yesss…” I breathed.
As he fitted us together, Andy groaned like a man in pain. But he moved like a man in love.
I wrapped my arms around him, drinking in his kisses.
“Katie…” he whispered, his breath catching. And the sound of it was the same sound you’d make if you’d just unwrapped an unexpected gift and found just what you’d wanted inside.
CHAPTER 14
ANDY
Oh Jesus. Pinch me. Seriously.
This couldn’t really be happening. Not to me. In fact, any minute now I was going to wake up in some library somewhere, face down in a puddle of my own drool. With my physics notes pasted to my face. And when they peeled off, I’d have equations tattooed all over my cheek in blue ink.
A good dream was the only plausible explanation for this moment.
Andwhy the fuckwas I thinking about physics notes right now? I needed to memorize this moment. Because if it was really happening, then the world was probably ending. Maybe there was a rip in the space-time continuum. Which meant that the polarity of the earth was in jeopardy. And… um…
Ohhh…
Wow.
Ohhh…
Wow.
Jeez…
Wow.
This.
This is…
So much wow.
CHAPTER 15
KATIE
Beautiful creature
A single bead of sweat at your neck
Your agonized huff of breath
