First Kiss (Patreon)

Continuing flashback leading up to their first time...

“Then you have my undivided attention.” 

Her stomach dropped. His expression didn’t change, but something foreign and enticing and dangerous filled the room. She wanted to shove her chair back from the table for some much-needed breathing room, but she couldn’t move. Her heart thudded in her ears and all the while, he sat across from her, not saying a word. That was normal for him, but the way he was looking at her made warmth pool low and hardened her nipples into hard points in the thin lining of her bra.  

“Jasmine.”

His gravelly tone broke her trance. She lurched to her feet and strode to the coffee pot. 

“It’s getting late. I think I have a cup you can take to go.” 

She reached up into the cabinet and fumbled around. “Do you listen to podcasts when you drive, or do you sing along to the radio?”

She didn’t hear him come up behind her, so when he put his hands on her shoulders, she jumped and whirled to face him. 

“What are you…?” she began and froze when he dipped his head down and his lips touched hers.
