Exposed Plans

Alpha Herrick's POV

It was unexpected. 

The kiss.

It seemed like she was patiently waiting for the perfect time, like she had been craving it. It was really beautiful. She leaned in closer until our noses were almost touching and then, in a moment that seemed to last forever, she closed the distance, our lips meeting.

It was a gentle kiss at first, soft, sweet and passionate, but as our passion grew it became intense and deep. The world faded away, my heart was pounding and I felt so alive. 

There on the hospital bed, I felt liberated for the first time ever, like I was free from all my burden. Was it just the kiss or was there something else about Elena?

"I'm sorry..." Elena stuttered. "I didn't mean to come at you like that." 

"You don't have to apologize, though." 

"Well, you looked like you didn't like it, so I felt like I did something wrong." 

"Well, if you must know, I like it, I love it, actually."
