Four years ago.........

What in the holy hell am I doing?

That's all I am thinking as I have Sage, my brother's best friend, trapped under me. In the freaking supply closet. At my brother's wedding, no less.

I wasn't supposed to let myself be this close to her. She is off-limits. I know that much. But when I saw what her dumbass of an ex did, I saw red and wanted to find her as soon as possible.

Even if we're not as close as we used to be. She is still family. She still means something to me. To my whole family. I shouldn't entertain anything with her. Especially if this is nothing but physical attraction.

But why can't I move away from her? Why is it that my feet are rooted where it is? Why am I getting hard at the thought of having her so damn close to me?

"What do you want?" She asks me.

What do I want?

Well isn't that the million-dollar question?

You. I want to say. But should I?

This will complicate things. Which I don't want. But I can't seem to fucking control my body's reaction to her.

I am pretty sure she can feel my dick getting hard. There is no turning back now.

Time to take the leap.

"You" I murmur as our foreheads touch and we stare at each other.

The moment feels electric. I can hear my pulse racing and hers as well. Our breaths are mingled as we breathe and just hold the moment.

Neither of us wanting to break whatever bubble we have slipped into.

But I want to.

I want to move closer. Pull her even closer and crash my lips on hers as we devour each other.

And I do exactly that.

She barely has time to react as I descend upon her lips and push her lips open.

She is completely still.

Shit. I read the moment wrong.

Before I could pull back, I felt her lips move alongside mine. We have completely lost our minds but I don't fucking care at the moment.

I feel lost in her lips.

Why the hell did I not kiss her before tonight?

We kiss like this is our last night on earth. It feels like coming home. It feels like I was out of breath while hiking up a mountain and finally saw the most amazing and earth-shattering view. But the view is her, and I wouldn't change it for anything right now.

Eventually, we pull back to take a breath.

We stare at each other, panting. Not knowing what to say.
