"I shouldn't have gone out with Barry." She groaned.
"I hate that I didn't come to stop you in time… that you went out with him. Damn traffic." He huffed.
"Damn the traffic," she repeated. "Do you…" Why was it so hard to say the words out loud? "want to try without any secrets?"
"Yes." He nodded vehemently.
"Can we kiss now?" she asked petulantly.
"You want me to kiss you?" he asked, jerking in surprise. She just nodded. "I already told you that I wouldn't be able to stop if I start," he warned.
"And I already told you that I didn't want you to stop," she informed. There was a confident smirk on her face, one he had imagined she would have every time she made him hard with her words. He stood up instantly and took her by the arms. Pulling her up to her feet, he slowly leaned in.
"Kiss me already," she commanded.
Cage complied.
