It all did something to me in a way it always had. My mouth collided with hers, slowly at first. My lips parted, beckoning her to do the same. She followed my lead, softly caressing the tip of my tongue with hers. Our mouths moved against one another as if destined to meet and come together again.
A chance.
A circumstance.
Kismet.
I slowly kissed her, trying to simmer down the unexpected movements of our emotional connection. Resting my forehead on hers, I stared openly into her gaze.
Over the years, I’d learned a lot about women—their mannerisms, expressions, and the way I made them feel. Bailey felt everything I was, and it frightened her in the same way it did me.
“Tell me you felt that…” I rasped, needing to hear her say it.
“Yes,” she breathed out, mimicking my tone.
This was too fast.
Too soon.
So I did the only thing I could…
I gave in.
Because this washer.

Bailey
My cheeks flushed,and my belly fluttered. If I had learned one thing about Aires from the beginning, he spoke his mind anytime he opened his mouth. He never held back, which was one of the things I liked the most about him.
He seemed as genuine as they could come, and I hadn’t met a lot of honest people in my life. Especially when it came to dating men who were always trying to prove something.
It was refreshing.
He was my breath of fresh air.
Which was yet another reason I never stopped thinking about him.
His eyes bore into mine and once again rendered me speechless as I sat on the railing in the zoo, which was our destination. We’d just spent the past two hours on a private tour he scheduled for us.
Despite visiting Australia a few times, I got to hold a koala for the first time in my life. Not only did I get to hold one but I also got to feed it. It took everything inside me to give it back to the tour guide. I loved animals. If I hadn’t become an actress, I would have been a vet or something along those lines.
We got a picture with it and then fed the kangaroos and all sorts of other animals. It was the perfect first date. He remembered how much I wanted to hold a koala every time we traveled here, so he made it happen for me. I could have burst from that alone.
He stared at me with the same swagger and confidence he always exuded. Another thing I liked about him was how he looked at me. There was something about him. Since the first time I laid my eyes on him, I couldn’t tear my gaze away from his. He had this magnetic pull I was instantly drawn to.
It came from something deeper.
More meaningful.
A connection I couldn’t explain, growing stronger with each minute that passed between us. I knew he felt it. He was the type of guy who would notice everything. Neither one of us said a word for a couple of seconds, but it didn’t matter. Our eyes spoke volumes, causing the nervous feeling in my core to subside.
“Tell me about yourself, Bailey.”
“What do you want to know?”
“Everything.”
