And then, in the blink of an eye, she was closer to him than ever before -- her lips softly pressed on his for the first time. His heart raced, and the hand that held onto hers squeezed tighter for that brief moment. Damien couldn't think -- couldn't process. All that he'd realized was that Isobel VonHue kissed him.
Her eyes began searching his, and the only thing Damien could do for a moment was breathe. But even that was hard to do. He glanced down at their clasped hands, his fingers laced with his -- how perfect they seemed to fit together. A smile slowly played at the corners of his mouth as his eyes found hers again, and a light chuckle escaped as he scooted closer to her, anchoring his body to hers.
"Is that --" he coughed then cleared his throat with another chuckle. "Is that what you -- wanted to tell me?" he asked, eyes still fixed on hers.
The shock faded from Isobel's expression, and her hazel us slowly lit up with happiness as Damien moved closer to her. She smiled at him and squeezed his hand, which she never wanted to let go of.
"Yes," she told him softly. Now that she thought about it, kissing him had pretty much summed up her feelings perfectly.
"And, what do you think about that?" She was a little nervous about what he would say, but it couldn't be too bad, he was the one who had scooted closer to her. But she wanted to hear the words from his mouth.
