Steamy Chapters

“I’m imagining doing things to you, Miss Vitelli,” I whisper in a confession. It sounds like a shame. “And none of the things I’m thinking about are appropriate, or things I can undo once I start.” Her breath catches, and I keep fighting the urge to do something else. “So,” I add, lower now. “Please leave, before I make a mess of my own self-control, this library… and you.”
For a second, I think she won’t listen. Then she turns her head toward mine, her eyes stay on mine as she steps away.
“I will,” she murmurs. “I should.”
She lingers for a brief instant and then she turns away. Her fingers trail briefly over my sleeve as she passes as if to remind me she was here and she says, “It’s burning too, for me.”
When the door closes behind her, I finally breathe again.
It’s burning too.”
