Skyscrapers & Camelot (Renovate Book 1)
Page 23
As I continue to gaze at Henry, my body begins to hum with fevered anticipation. This is it. This is the moment when all my fantasies and daydreaming come to life—well, at least I hope it is. Attraction, awe at discovering just how amazing this man actually is, and regret that I didn’t take notice sooner all swirl in my mind. I swallow it all down with my next sip of beer.
“Don’t be nervous, Kate,” Henry says as he slowly reaches over and wraps his right hand behind my neck, pulling me in closer for a kiss.
Henry pauses mere inches from my lips and stares, and the heat reflected back into my eyes is enough to steal my breath away. In that moment, I realize how wrong I had been. Henry is not the meek, quiet boy from work; he is a man full of passion, depth, and promise. I want whatever is about to happen between us more than I have ever wanted anything before. This new version of myself—this new Kate—wants to live life and experience everything it has to offer.
With that thought, Henry closes the distance between us and tentatively places his mouth on mine. With lips velvety soft and cool from the cold beer he has been drinking, he kisses me with a gentleness that is so tender I want to cry from its beauty.
