FELECIA WISHED SHE KNEW how to say how she felt. That there was some way to tell Evan she'd begun to care deeply about him. But she didn't know the words and she was afraid of that kind of honesty. Staring into his eyes, she wanted to be better for him and herself.
Evan leaned in. She held her breath, every bit of herself focused on his lips. He kissed her in that soft way of his. It felt as though they were melting into each other. Her insides warmed with desire. She tugged him closer.
While she couldn't make herself speak her feelings, she could show him. Maybe he'd understand her without the words?
It was worth hoping.
She slid her leg up over his hip, wrapping herself around him.
There was something special about this moment. While she might not have been completely honest with him, she knew they were both on the same page. They were sharing this feeling. They were in it together.
