Avery’s pov

As Xade pulled up in front of the dorm building, I turned to face him and gave him a shy smile. “Thanks for the ride,” I said while reaching for the door handle but his fingers wrap gently around my upper arm and stopped me in my tracks.

I spin to face him, my brows furrowing. “You forgot something.” a teasing little smile draws charmingly on his lips.

His lips connect with mine before I could finish my words, causing a bloom of warmth to spread throughout my body and my heart to flutter. His lips are soft and gentle against mine, as if he’s savoring the taste of me like I am doing him.

But all too soon the kiss ends, leaving me breathless and wanting so much more. My eyes flickering open to meet his eyes which were swirling with yearning and love. He pinched my chin softly, his thumb brushing my lower lip. “I love you Avery.”

My breath hitches. I don’t think I will get used to him saying those words too. His eyes flicker from my tingling lips to my eyes as he whispered.” You don’t have to say it back yet. I’ll wait.”

I shook my head, because I do in fact love Xade, always have and it was about time I admit those words I had been hiding from him for years. But something holds me from saying them. Perhaps fear of him not actually meaning his.
