Excerpt
Bear’s point of view
“Do you ever think about taking something that isn’t yours?” I ask.
I run my palm through my hair. Her eyes meet mine briefly before she looks away. I don’t know what her deal is with Toby. Are they misunderstood friends who eventually will become more? Isn’t that how it goes in the movies? Kara isn’t mine, but it doesn’t stop me from wanting her. Would it be so bad to give in to an urge? Our eyes meet again and she takes hold of my shirt, pulling me towards her.
“Like a stolen kiss, you mean?”
Before I can answer, her mouth comes crashing down on mine. Every nerve ending in my body comes alive. Her lips are warm and soft. The taste of apple and honey fills my senses as I drink her in. A kiss has never felt this good, and my hands stray up her back and into her silky hair. I can’t get enough and I don’t want this to end. She read my mind. This is exactly what I meant when I asked the question. Kissing Kara is like nothing I’ve experienced before. She’s beautiful and delicious. Her touch is sweet and addictive. Kissing her is my undoing. I already want more. I already crave more.
