He cut me off, pulling me to him and locking his lips on mine. Cupping my cheek, I felt his mouth moving rhythmically against mine, the hunger stored his lips, the wanting that poured off of him in waves. It was like he was begging me.

Let me in.

Please.

I closed my eyes, and for one moment, I let myself feel what it was like to be kissed by him, held by him, maybe even loved by him. I felt the electricity where his hands were on my body, his lips moving on mine, the hunger and the desperation spilling from them. I tasted the residue of the nicotine gum he had started chewing for me, the way his body fit almost perfectly against mine. For one moment, I let myself feel what it could be like to be in love with him, and to finally have him.

But that moment was over too quickly.

I tensed, my eyes snapping open, and put my hands on his chest to push him away. I pulled my lips off of his, the feeling of a bucket of ice water pouring over me as the cold air hit my lips again. My heart beat so loud, and I stood there for a moment, digesting what had just happened. And then it hit me. I realized that what I wanted the most in the world right now, more than anything I had ever wanted before and would ever want, was something I could never have.

Him.
