There was a brief moment after she’d confessed to having a crush on him where neither Shane nor Kiely said a word. Kiel could feel her heart racing as if she’d run a marathon and why wouldn’t it be? The boy she was head-over-heels for had just told her that he liked her. He had her wrapped in his arms. Seriously, she could faint at this point she was so overwhelmed.
Finally Shane roused himself and lifted her chin so that they were looking at each other again. And Kiel smiled…a sort of silly, over center smirk-like smile. A smile of anticipation and agreement..and then BAM! Kissing Shane was even better than anything she imagined and it’s pretty damn impressive if you can best a fantasy. It was gentler than before and she chalked it up to the fact that they both knew…knew that there was nothing else they could hide the fact that they wanted to kiss each other. No alcohol and no crumbling relationship. But if her heart was about to beat out of her chest before, it reached a crescendo when Shane stroked his tongue along her lip. Kiel’s breathing hitched as she opened her mouth, completely taken away by all of the sensation flooding her.
