His tongue brushes mine, and when he grazes my bottom lip with his teeth, a shiver rolls through me.
I lean in without thinking, my hands drifting down his chest, trying to pull him closer but then he eases back. Not abruptly, just… enough for air to return between us. Our breathing is uneven, like we both ran a little too far and stopped at the same time.
It takes me a second to realize I’m still holding onto his collar. Heat climbs up my neck, and I let go quickly, staring down at my hands. Silence stretches for a few long seconds and I can feel him looking at me even though my eyes are glue
