lightly kissed the corner
of my mouth. He followed that kiss with one to my cheek and my jawline, before
grazing my neck with his teeth. He kissed my neck; lightly touching it with his
tongue, then slowly worked his way back towards my mouth.
    Somewhere along the way, the night
air had lost its chill. I licked my lips briefly, not taking my eyes off of
Colin.
    Gently placing his hand on the nape
of my neck, Colin guided my lips close to his, then stopped and smiled. He knew
what he was doing to me. I tried unsuccessfully to look unaffected, but we both
knew that I was no longer the one doing the teasing.
    Finally he pulled me in and kissed
me, slowly at first then with increasing intensity.  
    Everything seemed to stop in that
moment. I was only aware Colin.
    My mind wandered to the Colin I
met yesterday. He had been apologetic. Sweet yet tentative. Charming, yet
worried about me.
    That Colin wasn't kissing me.
    The lips that kissed me belonged
to a man who held no hesitation. Every brush of his hands as they drifted from
my hair, to my neck and down my sides to my waist was deliberate. Every touch
of his lips guided me with assurance. He only stopped long enough to grab my
hand and haul me to his lap, where he immediately returned to assaulting my
senses.
    I committed every bite of my lip,
graze of his hands, whisper in my ear and taste of his lips to memory.
    We kissed like that until we were
so tired we stumbled inside and fell asleep on my couch.
    I hated to admit it, but he was
right. I hadn’t fully experienced his awesomeness before that moment.
    That night I knew.

    Why is my whole right side asleep?
    I woke up feeling disoriented. I
was on my right side, with my right arm stuck underneath me and my left leg
bent forward. I tried to turn over, only to come close to falling off the
couch. The only thing keeping me from landing on the floor was Colin, his arm
wound loosely around my waist.  
    I turned my head toward him as
best I could. He was still sleeping. I slowly pulled away so that I could get
up and shake my arm loose. It was starting to get its feeling back, which hurt
like hell.
    I snuck upstairs and ran into
Drew, who was presumably doing the walk of shame through my hallway.
    "Hey, Drew." I drawled
playfully.
    "Hey, Lucy. How was Colin
last night?" He teased back.
    "He didn’t do anything but
sleep, so probably well-rested. How about you?"
    "Who needs sleep?” his smile
made me laugh.
    I shook my head as I walked past
him to shower and change.
    By the time I got downstairs,
everyone was sitting in the family room, eating bowls of cereal and drinking
coffee. Liz was sitting on the floor in front of Drew, resting her back against
his chair. They looked cozy.
    Annie stayed with James at his
house, so it was just the four of us.
    As soon as Colin saw me, he smiled
widely. “Hey there. Hope you don’t mind, I’m eating your Frosted Flakes.” He
pulled the pillow off of the couch so that I could sit beside him.
    “Sure. Help yourself.” When I sat
down he handed me a mug.
    “Thanks.” I smiled at his
thoughtfulness.
    “Sure. Anytime you want me to
steal your coffee then offer you a cup, let me know. Liz told me that you take
it black.”
    We all relaxed in silence, still
tired from the day before. After breakfast, the guys helped us clean up from the
party, then got ready to leave. On the way out, Drew whispered something to Liz
that made her laugh then planted a wet kiss on her lips.
    Colin grabbed my hand, pulling me
into the room where we kept the pool table. “Thanks for letting me crash your
party.” He pulled me to him so that he could kiss my neck, finishing with a
kiss on the lips.
    “There was a party here?” I
laughed then returned the kiss.
    Just before the kiss became intense
Colin pulled back. “I keep forgetting. I need your phone number.” he handed me
his phone so that I could type it in.
    “Thank God you remembered,”
