Chapter 16 Evangeline

I walk into my room, still dazed from kissing Jaxon. Wow, that man can k*iss.

Almost immediately, I’m waylaid by Maggie.

“Do you want to explain to me why you and Super Hotty were in that dark cave all alone and why now your eyes are glazed over, your lips look puffy, and you have a dopey smile on your face?”

“He kissed me.” I say quietly, my lingers coming to my lips that are still tingling after that last k*iss. It was so unexpected, so naughty; so….delicious. That’s the only word I can use to describe how Jaxon tastes. J

“Tell me EVERYTHING!” Maggie says, plopping down on the bed, looking at me with excitement in her eyes.

“I….well, he asked me on a date earlier. Geez, was that just this morning?”

“So this was a date?” She asks.

“No, this was accidental. His family was waiting for Raelyn to cross the finish line and I went out to stand with them. After she came in, he wanted to look around the territory and we ended up in the cave. At first, we were just looking around but then….”

I remember how something had seemed to crackle in the air. He reached out to k*iss me at almost the same moment I began to feel a desperate need to be kissed by him. And it was like all that magical energy in the cave just wrapped around us. I couldn’t get enough of him, his scent, his taste, the warmth of his body pressed against mine.

“What are you smiling at?” Maggie asks me.

I don’t want to tell her that I could very clearly feel Jaxon’s arousal pressed between us. “He’s an amazing kisser, Maggie. I mean, holy goddess! His lips are divine. Soft and warm but still strong and when he slid his tongue into my mouth…”

I look up and see Maggie’s eyes wide, her hands clenched to her chest. She and I have always been extremely close, so she knows this was my first k*iss and I know she’s only gotten kisses that were pecks from guys at school.

“Do you think all kisses are like that?” She asks me.

“I have no idea, but I know that he seemed to want more just as much as I did.”
