Victoria's POV
It is happening, and there is nothing I can do to stop the intense emotion I feel towards Owen. My mind was screaming no, but my body betrayed me. I wanted to push him away, to halt the inevitable crashing tide between us, but every fiber of my being betrayed me, aching for the moment to unfold. My body reacts differently from my mind.
My hands glided, caught between pulling away and pulling closer. Every breath I took was a betrayal, deeper and heavier, pulling me closer to the edge I swore I wouldn't cross.
But the longing I had been fighting for undermined my resistance, and his kiss and touch melted my resolve.
I had told myself no, rehearsed it a hundred times, but now, with his gaze locked on mine and his touch igniting every nerve, my resolve crumbled. I am a liar if I say I never waited for this moment because the truth was I had been dreaming about this since the day I met him, far too long to stop it now.
