Excerpt: He ran his hand up my arm. "There's something about you," he continued. My heart felt like it was about to burst from my chest and, even in the cool fall air, I still felt my body flush with heat. I had expected him by this time in the year to have something on, but he was still shirtless and I could see the muscles and the strength he exhibited. A part of me wanted to sink into his arms. My breath caught in my throat as he ran his hand through my long wavy hair. He leaned closer to me as his hand came up to cup my face and my hand reached up to meet his as he held my face in his hand. He leaned down and whispered, "You're the one I want." He pressed his lips against mine and I kissed him back as he wrapped his arm around my waist to pull me closer. I felt his body against mine and my hand came up to rest on his arm. *coverphoto credits to Matt Dodd on unsplash
