Harper willed the erratic heartbeat drumming in her ears to slow down. She failed pathetically.
It was no surprise though. That was their first real kiss … and if she had correctly interpreted everything Eli just told her, he seemed to want it as much as she did. She could still barely wrap her head around this … Having spent weeks trying to "seduce" him, how could she have never realized that he wanted her the same way? When did it even start? How could this moment straight out of her dreams be real?
