Lucas pulled back, his eyes filled with desire. "I know it's crazy, but I can't control how I feel," he whispered. "I want to be with you, Arthur. I want to explore this connection and see where it leads."
Olive's emotions were in turmoil, but her body seemed to act on its own accord. She found herself leaning in, her lips parting slightly in anticipation of another kiss.
And then it happened. Lucas's lips met hers, his kiss passionate and intense. Olive felt herself surrendering to the moment. Lucas hand held her head firmly as he continued to kiss her lips passionately and just when Lucas began to move his hand to her chest, Olive pulled away.
"I'm sorry, but I'm not interested in a romantic relationship with you," Olive said, her breath coming in short gasps. She knew how important her scholarship at Belmont was to her, as it meant the opportunity to pursue her dream of becoming a doctor and building a successful career.
