Mira's pov
Of course I am stunned, I had not expected him to kiss me. I had not expected him to take well what was his.
Before I knew it, I am following his lead, moaning at the taste of him while he grunts and pull me closer. His tongue lapped around mine and as he dipped his tongue in my mouth to brush against mine I shivered.
From just the taste of him, the feel of his lips on mine, I could feel him even in my bones. It's a strange feeling, but a good one.
And when he pulls away, rest his forehead on mine and smiled that boyish grin that made my heart skip, I wanted more.
"Sorry, I just couldn't resist. Too many years holding myself back, I couldn't anymore." He breathed, eyes closing as if he was in pain and then peeled them open to stare at me deeply. "Please tell me this was your first kiss."
I am breathing roughly from the way he took my mouth and I had to take a minute to get my breathing and my heart under control.
When I do, I nod shyly. Was it that bad? I wasn't sure if I had to twirl my tongue more or not. It was a bit hard to

His words surprised me and I pulled away from him to stare at him in shock and confusion. "You've had girlfriends."

He lifted a hand in his hair and scratched the back of his head. "Actually, I've been with those girls to make you jealous," he admitted, the pink flush on his neck crawling quickly to his face. He looks adorable red and my heart skips.
"Nothing ever happened with them. I've been," he winced. "I know it sounds cliche, but I was waiting for you to finally notice me Mirabella."
His admission was like a punch in the gut, not because I didn't like it but the realization that he tried to make me see him and I kept pushing him away fucking destroyed me.
I don't know what to say to him because now I feel even more guilty for pushing him away all this time.
"I-
I started but stopped to swallow the lump in my throat. It's painful to know that there was someone who loved me enough to wait but I stupidly pushed him away in fear of this alien feeling.
"You don't have to say anything," he smiled shyly, his cheeks so red it's quite adorable. "Everyone thought I was a player. Kind of stupid I took the cliche approach to make you jealous."
