only reply is to pull her tighter. As I do, she in turn wraps her arms tight around my waist. After getting my emotions under control, I pull away from her and cup her face in my hands. I wipe her tears away with my thumbs. “You are amazing, you have so many people who love you, Aiden, his parents, Hailey. My parents adore you.” I swallow back my emotions. “You have me,” I whisper never tearing my eyes from hers.
    “Liam,” she murmurs.
    Her plea sends me over the edge, and I slowly bring her face to mine as I lean down. I stare at her lips and then back to her eyes letting her know my intent. I need to kiss her more than I need my next breath. I wait, as my intentions set in, I can see when understanding flashes across her face, she licks her lips. I lean a little closer, closing the space between us. Hesitating, giving her the opportunity to stop me, she doesn’t.
    When my lips touch hers I feel the tremor in my hands that are gently holding her close to me. She must have felt it to because she places her hands over mine as I continue to caress her cheeks while I kiss her. She opens her mouth and I slip my tongue inside. The taste of her on my tongue causes me to release a deep moan, as I do Allison slows the kiss and rests her forehead against my chest.
    “Liam.”
    “Mmm,” I am again at a loss for words. I have kissed my share of girls and not once did any of those kisses elicit this kind of reaction from me. I have never in my life felt this kind of connection with any other human being.
    “What are we doing?”
    I kiss her forehead as I pull back to look her in the eye. “I was kissing the most amazing girl I have ever met.” I need her to know that she is different.
    She blushes, “I want more Liam. Not that I expect a proposal next week but you’ve already made it clear that you won’t make a commitment, so what are we doing?”
    I shake my head and pull her back to my chest. “I don’t know baby. All that I can tell you is that kiss was incomparable to anything I have ever felt. You wreck me, you know that?” I ask searching her face for understanding.
    “Well, since that was officially my first kiss, I don’t have anything to compare it to, but this feeling,” she grabs my hand and lays it over her heart. “This connection that makes my heart race is uncharted waters for me. I wish that I could hold onto it and never let go.” She sighs, “But I need all of you, Liam, I don’t want to share you, and I can’t just be a fling. My heart can’t take it.” She brushes her hands across my cheek. “If you ever decide that you can give me all of you, you know where to find me.” She lifts up on her tip toes and gives me one last chaste kiss on the lips. “Thank you for listening and for the kiss,” she says as she turns and walks out of the room.
    I stand there trying to regain control of my emotions while her words race through my mind.

 
     
    When I hear the knock on the door and then Liam’s voice, I cry harder. I am so embarrassed that I can’t control my emotions. My parents have been gone for a long time. I should be able to tell people about them without turning into a blubbering idiot. I am missing Gran, and to see Liam and Hailey so carefree with their parents, even Aiden, I lost it. I just need a minute to get myself under control. When I hear Liam’s whispered “Please,” I find myself opening the door. As soon as he sees me, he steps into the room, shuts the door and wraps me in his strong arms. I feel safe and content, that feeling is not one I have much experience with. I always feel like I am waiting for the other shoe to drop.
    Liam holds me tight as I attempt to explain my breakdown. After a few minutes, he tells me I am amazing and that I have Aiden and his parents as well as Hailey and his parents. After a short pause he also tells me that I have him. That simple statement sends heat pooling throughout my body. What I wouldn’t give to have this man be mine. To
