“Oh, we do.” She nodded as she moved away and looked throughout the rest of the RV, taking a long look in the back where there were lots of toys—dirt bikes, mountain bikes, blow up paddle boards, and other outdoor things that cost a whack. “But it’s shared between seven people. It doesn’t matter how big it is, it would never be big enough.”

“I take it you don’t like sharing?” I asked.

“I don’t like doing a lot of anything,” she flashed me a smile as she fell onto the couch, then slumped over. “Wow, this couch is nice.”

She wasn’t lying.

I could sleep on that couch most of the night, too.

I started to turn on lights. “Would you like the shower first or should I take one?”

She shrugged. “It’s whatever. I was thinking about having one of those s’mores on the counter, though. I should probably go second so I can brush my teeth when I’m done.”

I grinned as I headed up the stairs. “Your wish is my command.”

I closed the door mostly behind me, then took a quick shower.

When I was done, I got dressed in a pair of sweatpants and a black t-shirt, then headed back down into the kitchen in time to see her completely destroying a s’more.

She had chocolate and marshmallow on her chin, with pieces of the graham cracker attached to it. And I wanted nothing more than to lean over and lick it right off.

“Good?” I asked.

She nodded, her eyes wide. “It’s been so long since I had one of these.”

It’d been years for me.

But man did she make it look good.

I couldn’t stop myself from leaning forward and catching the line of chocolate from her chin, then bringing my thumb to my mouth and licking it clean.

Her eyes flared, and I knew that if I wanted her, I could have her.

And boy, did I want her.

I wanted her so bad that I didn’t see her move until she was standing right in front of me, staring straight up with a dollop of chocolate still at the corner of her lips.

“Slone?” she asked quietly.

I licked my lips. “Yeah?”

She licked the corner of her mouth clean then said, “Are you going to kiss me or what?”

It took my brain half a second to compute what she’d just said, and another point one second to close the distance between us.

My mouth slanted down over hers, and I finally got what I wanted after days of staring at her and wanting.

She was short, so the awkward angle made our kiss hard to accomplish comfortably, and without a second thought, I picked her up and she curled her legs around my waist.

The moment we were face to face, she wrapped her hands around my neck and deepened the kiss.

She tasted like chocolate and marshmallows, and I knew that I’d forever associate that taste with her.

So sweet and so perfect all rolled into a tiny bottle of perfection.

Her tongue touched mine, and I moved until I felt the backs of my calves hit the couch.

When I knew that something was there to catch me, I collapsed, pulling her down into my lap in one swift move.
