15 Every sound she made dragged me deeper and deeper under her spell. I couldn’t get enough of her. I ached to do anything and everything she would let me, but I made her a promise, and I wasn’t going to break it. “Kiss me,” she whispered. Taking charge was new for Elise. I could sense it in the panicked way she asked if I was going to make the first move. She didn’t like being the one who initiated things, but it was the only way until she felt comfortable telling me no. I slid one hand up her back when she asked me to kiss her. My other hand stayed on her a*s, keeping her body close to mine. She wiggled in place, impatient for me to do as she asked. I was going to let her decide what happened, but I was going to do it in my own damn time. I slid my hand all the way up into her hair.
