He pulled me into his arms and lifted my chin to look at him. “Shante and I are over,” he said. “You understand that, right?” I nodded. Now it made sense. They weren’t together anymore they were just close friends with history. “I’m glad I met her,” I said honestly. “I’m glad too,” he said. “I didn’t want to hide anything from you I just didn’t know how you’d react.” I smiled. “You were nervous.” I wrapped my arms around him. “You’re calm in fights, but when it comes to your past ” Before I could finish, he kissed me. The kiss started soft, then became deeper and more intense. I kissed him back just as strongly. He lifted me easily, and I wrapped my legs around him. He stopped for a moment and looked at me. “Are you sure you don’t want to stay in Moonblessed and choose a mate ”
