Staring into his eyes, Marilee moved into him and pressed her lips to his. Carson felt that moment of panic, and then something else, something warm and wild, as her hands found their way around his neck and up into the back of his hair, her fingers wrapping into it and pulling gently.

Carson’s hands wound around her waist and pulled her against him, flattening her to him, her breasts pressing into his chest until he felt weak. But this time, her tongue pressed against his lips until they parted and explored his mouth, and he reciprocated and met her halfway, tasting her, savoring her, waiting to see if the next instant would be better than the one they were in. And it was. He felt her hips rock until her lower body pressed into his, and every inch of hardness he’d ever had went harder than it had ever been. She felt right in his arms, every soft bit of her, and if he’d ever dreamed of a kiss that he never wanted to end, that kiss would’ve been it.

When he pulled back, all he could whisper to her was, “Marilee, I’m broken.”

“So am I. I think maybe we could fix each other.” She pulled back and looked straight into his eyes. “I’d like to try, at least. Could we do that?”
