FELIX.

Our lips are almost brushing to the point where I start to inhale her breath and I only need one head movement to grasp her mouth but Brynn chooses that moment to shift against the wall—thankfully—bringing me out of my trance and I lift my head, exhaling and inhaling rapidly before instantly taking more than two steps back, letting Brynn’s thumb drop from my knuckles.

I can’t bear to meet her eyes in this space as I dodge my head through the corner.They lost us," I tell her. I hear Brynn move, and it’s only once she steps outside that I manage to look at her. She’s still wet, looking just as enticing as she looked in that dark corner, and I wet my lips before stepping outside with her.

It’s only when I’m standing close I notice her body trembles a bit and when she rubs her hands down her arms, she gives me more than enough reason to take off my jacket and drape it over her back. She turns to me from the sudden gesture and I throw her a small smile. "Cold?"

"A bit." She answers.
