The kiss, it justwasn’t it There was an eer on it, but I didn’t feel what I wanted to feel What a girl expects to feel I just felt lonely My heart felt alone

Major had been expecting an invitation to coood night and left hi to punish hiht The food had been delicious, and the evening had been perfectly planned

Still, I wasn’t ready to move to that next step I wanted our kisses to mean more For my toes to curl and my heart to race I wanted to fear what came next but want it all the same

I wanted what I’d tasted with Gannon He’d ruinedthat was unattainable Was expecting it fro to be a father and had done to so her pregnant and alone

Gannon was not part of a fairy tale But I was afraid he’d set a bar so high no one would ever touch it again I had to let his uy took arden I loved and served h his kisses didn’t make ht as I drifted off to sleep

The darkness covered h I couldn’t see him there, I felt him, smelled him My body reacted to him I should be terrified or at least concerned, but I felt no fear My heart leaped at the thought of seeing hian to build, and I reached for hiht

"Shhh," a deep voice replied, and I stilled I’d do whatever he toldall I did about him, I still wanted him in my dreams It was safe to have him here To hold him close to me To inhale his scent, which I craved so deeply it was a part of me

"Please," I whimpered when he didn’t move in closer

"You miss me?" he asked, in a whisper that was ht anticipation for as to come

"Yes," I replied honestly There was no reason to lie in a dream I could be honest with himent or reality to cloud my choices

"You kissed hi tone As if he was displeased

I wanted to reo so easily But I didn’t I was afraid he’d vanish "He was thoughtful He et that Ever" The condemnation in my own tone was just as thick
