Bearly Hanging On (The Jamesburg Shifters #6)(69)

The kiss he gave her wasn’t their first, or their hundredth. But somehow, for some reason that she couldn’t quite understand, even as the electricity between them tickled her toes, that one felt to Jamie like the sweetest, the most wonderful. They parted with a soft whisper of their lips separating, and for a long, blissed moment, Jamie just watched Ryan’s eyes.

“We have a long, long time, don’t we?” she asked. “This isn’t all going to disappear tomorrow?”

The smile on his face wasn’t one of his smug grins. It wasn’t a cocky one, or any sort of grin at all except penetrating, honest, and heartwarming.

“A long time,” he whispered, savoring the words. “We got forever if you’ll have me.”

Three seconds later, Jamie had to reconsider her thoughts about the previous kiss, when he blew her mind again.

This one. The one that stole the breath out of my lungs, that made me realize I never needed anyone as much as him. The kiss where our hearts were beating together, the kiss that made me believe – if only for a second – that we were one soul split between two bodies.

This one, she thought, running her hands along the sides of Ryan’s face, and pressing her body against his, this is the one that I’m gonna remember forever.
