Temptations His minty breath blew softly over my face as he was panted softly, clearly flustered. I felt the heat rise to my cheeks and knew I was blushing. My skin tingled as he held my cheek in his hand. My heart pounded violently as I saw all the raw emotion swirling around in the golden brown eyes that felt as if they could see right through me. I felt vulnerable yet powerful at the same time. All I could think about was his pink plump lips just calling out for me to take a hold of. He leaned in closer, and the temptations I felt for him, the yearning to be kissed by him, was so powerful, that I forgot all about the horrible things in my life. I forgot about the depression and the anxiety I woke up to every day. About all the trauma from the past few years. I forgot about all the nasty things he said. I even forgot about that voice in the back of my head that would always tell me how worthless I was. His lips connected with mine and my world froze. I could only focus on the soft lips that were moving in sync with mine. Nothing else mattered. I knew it was not right of me to kiss the person that brought me so much pain and heart ache in the past. He was always the first to make fun of the fact that I'm gay and he always told his friends how disgusting it was. So imagine my surprise that he was the one to lean in and kiss me. The one who despised 'faggots' the most, was making out with one. He may have changed to acceptance, but I never thought he would become one of the things he spent all those years hating. Little did I know that this was only the start of our journey... Book 1 of the Desire Series
