CHANCES (Andrew Lincon Romance)

Chapter 14

Did I want Andrew to spend one more night was like asking if I wanted to draw another breath. The answer was written...no it was engraved on my heart. Leaning forward on my tip toes I placed my lips to his in a slow kiss. Immediately his arms tightened around my waist drawing me completely against the length of his body.

In a lower murmur, his lips pressed to my ear causing an eruption of unfulfilled desire, "I need to hear you say it. Say you want me to stay."

I whispered against his lips, "I want you to stay with me."

Taking my face in his hands Andrew pulled me in for a long kiss. It wasn't one of heated passion but one of future promise. Tender and un rushed as if this was just the start of years to come. Exploring as if it was a known desire turning another chapter. A single kiss shouldn't be able to say so much but this one did. As Andrew pulled back his eyes dark and stormy searched mine. I couldn't look away as some weird and unexplainable understanding arced between us. His eyes dropping to my mouth as he watched his thumb rub back and forth.

"I don't want to but I have to go. My last panel is at three if you wanted to come watch." It seemed as if there was more he wanted to say but held back. Raising my hands to his lips Andrew kissed them and walked away. I watched as he walked down the hall finally disappearing into the press area.

I didn't want to focus on how exited I was that Andrew was spending another night. I wanted to ignore the feeling behind why I bought the key pendant. Instead in my head I wanted to keep things light and airy despite everything my heart told me. It took most of the day but Tammy finally called back.

"Are you kidding of course we will keep the girls another night. I would take you to get your head examined if you did stay. You have to fill me in on some of the details as you now know I have to live vicariously threw you. Starting first is......how good in bed is he?"

I could just imagine her sitting on the edge of her seat, "Well actually we didn't have sex."

.

This time she gave out a full on snort, "Don't be a bitch and lie to me. I'm your best friend and you expect me to believe you two shared a bed and didn't bump and grind. Bullshit girl! Now spill."

"I am being honest. I had actually thought I screwed everything up cause when we said goodbye he just went straight in his room. When I went in mine I found all these beautiful long stem roses and strawberries so I called him. When he came over he started the fire and we fed each other some. That's when he told me he had ordered them hoping I would call him." I could actually start to feel myself blush at the memory.

"It was better than any romance movie or book. Oh god Tammy when he kissed me I completely lost myself. He's an amazing kisser and it took all I had not to beg for more. I know it's kind of cheap to say but if he didn't want to stop there is no question I would have went all the way." Just the memory of his kiss was heating my skin.

"Wait he said he wanted to stop," Tammy said confused

"He said he didn't want our first time together to be somewhere so pedestrian as doing it at a comic-con convention. That it should be somewhere special and meaning. His words exactly." I remembered exactly cause in that moment he eliminated so many of my fears.

"Oh my god are you serious! I get the romance of Sponge Bob Square Pants and you get Prince Charming. Could the man possibly be any more perfect?" she gushed.

"Your telling me and when I said it was late and I should go he asked me to stay. Promised he wouldn't try anything other than hold me. It's kind of scary how right it felt being with him." Closing my eyes I tried to push down the voice in my head that kept telling me to be careful.
