My back straightened up against the wall. His eyes searched mine and I couldn't escape his hold on me. He lowered his head so that his mouth came an inch from my ear. His voice was coarse when he said, "Sometimes... I'm scared of you."
My head tilted in surprise and the skin of my cheek came to touch his. "You're not scared of anything," I answered in one breath.
"I'm scared of how reckless you make me. Or of how reckless I want to be for you." His hands came to rest around my waist. Slowly they slid down my thighs. He lifted one of my legs slightly so that the hem of my dress eased up. His hands snaked back up but they were brushing over my skin this time.
My whole body became tuned to only the tips of his fingers. "Josh, not he--"
"I'm scared of how my heart takes over as soon as you come close." I shut my eyes as if the sound of his voice had stolen my sight. His hands palmed my a** and my legs parted to welcome him. "I'm scared of how my whole body comes to life by simply hearing your voice. So when you sing..."
He rested his forehead against mine and his nose teased mine in our 'kiss without a kiss.'
I opened my eyes, swallowed hard and tried to warn him again. "We can't--"
But his lips were massaging mine now. His tongue entered my mouth. I loved how his kisses felt like a full-body exploration. They always did. He lifted me up and my back slid against the wall. I looped my arms around his neck. I slid further up and my face leveled with his. The pressure of his body against mine increased and his hips pinned mine.
"The truth, Cass, is that I'm plain scared to lose you all over again. You made your way
back inside me and I can never let you go."
My hand cradled his face. "I'll never leave you, Josh. Please don't be scared anymore. Trust me."
It was his turn to shut his eyes but I had enough time to see them filling with doubts.
I had to make him believe me. I wouldn't be the one bailing out this time. "Be reckless. Now." His gaze was back on me. "Make love to me. Right here."
