Excerpt
Noah puts a strand of hair behind my ear and gives me a sad smile. "I think your family is afraid I'm going to kidnap you."
Before he can pull his hand away, I lean my cheek against it. "It wouldn't be kidnapping if I went willingly, would it?"
He stares at me for a moment, looking like he's fighting an internal battle. Suddenly, he leans forward but pauses momentarily with his lips barely touching mine. I'm not sure if I should move or not. On instinct, I close my eyes and wet my lips. With my eyes closed, all my senses are heightened. I feel the warmth of his breath, the smell of the grass, the sounds of the trickling water, and a bird chirping in the distance. I also hear Noah's breathing. I can tell he's as nervous as I am, with his hand slightly shaking. His hand suddenly becomes firm against my cheek, and he pulls me slightly closer.
