His face morphs from grief and regret to something else entirely. It’s like a weight has been lifted and he’s finally able to smile again.
“I love you, Mica. I’ve loved you for so long, but couldn’t say it out loud because I didn’t feel worthy of your love.”
My heart just tripled in size and it feels like it’s going to break my chest wide open.
Lance hovers over me, and then very tentatively, leans down and his lips capture mine in a kiss that says it all.
It starts off soft, with regret and longing, and then grows deeper and more passionate, as if to say how much I’m desired and loved. How much he’s missed me.
His fingers slide through the loose strands of my hair, his mouth devouring me. Nipping my lips, biting, nudging my mouth open so his tongue can explore me further. I’ve forgotten how good it feels just to kiss Lance.
And it’s just a prelude to everything else to come.
