The Accidental Wife by Sara Islam

I kissed her last night. I now know how her lips taste like, and the thing is, I've been craving them ever since. I wish I could kiss her again, but when we pulled apart, the first thing she said was 'this is a big mistake. I didn't know what else to say except to agree with her.
