An Excerpt from Feels Like Home

The movie finally came to an end. I'd enjoyed it, but having him next to me was just too damn distracting.

"Inconceivable," he said, smiling. Then he stopped the DVD and clicked off the television. Instantly the room was pitch dark - he'd forgotten that we'd turned off all the lights.

"Crap," he said, moving to go turn on the lights at the exact same time as I did. We collided with full frontal body impact. I felt my breasts press against his chest and couldn't help the small gasp that escaped me.

"Oh, Cecilia," he said. "I'm so sorry. I'll get the lights."

I felt scared, but I had to do it. The opportunity was too good to miss.

I reached up and put one hand on each cheek, pulling him to me at the same time as I went up on my tippy toes.

'Celia?" he said a moment before I pressed my lips to his.

There was an explosion inside me. Fireworks went off behind my eyes. My nipples hardened with pent-up desire as they brushed his chest. I felt excitement deep inside and a strange joy that made me feel like crying. I felt like yelling, "Yes! This is what I've been waiting for all this time."

He froze at first, and then I felt him kiss me back. He was kissing me back!
