This piece is from Wild West Weekend. Cassie is remembering the first time she and Dakota kissed when they had known each other as teenagers.
* A wave of liquid heat washed over her. “Sure. I’d like that, too.”
* He leaned forward, traced her mouth with his fingers, then placed his lips on her. He slid his hand to her thigh, while capturing her mouth in a kiss that made her nerves zing with desire. His thin but sensual lips played with hers, his tongue teased the opening. Warmth spread through her body. She parted her mouth. His tongue slipped in. He tasted of summertime—the sweet and tangy taste of lemonade and strawberries. Her lips and tongue brushed against his braces. She giggled into his mouth.
* He dragged his mouth away. “The braces, huh?”
* She nodded.
* “They’ll be gone by next summer. Promise.” He caressed the side of her face, pushed a wayward lock of hair behind her ear. His deep blue-eyed gaze peered into hers, touched her soul. “I can’t believe you’re mine. You’re my first love. You’re gonna be my only love. Tell me you love me.”
