Chapter 36

• Nicklaus, thank you so much for looking out for me,” I said as I wrapped my arms around his neck. It did feel a little weird doing it in front of the other guys, but that was something I needed to get used to. “I appreciate everything that you’ve done for me. No one has ever cared for me in quite this way before. It’s absolutely overwhelming.”
• I leaned up onto my tiptoes and crashed my lips to his, loving the way he embraced me back hard. The love he felt for me shone through with the kiss, with the way his lips couldn’t seem to get enough of me. My heart began to race a whole lot faster, I almost lost myself completely for a moment because it was so utterly blissful. Not having to sneak around was exhilarating in a brand-new way. This was something that I was sure I could get used to.
• But I had to break the kiss, mostly because the hairs on the back of my neck were standing on edge. The other guys were looking at me, I could just feel it. I span around to see Romeo’s eyes practically burning through me. I couldn’t help but wonder if he remembered our last kiss. It wasn’t forgotten. In fact, I really wanted to reenact it right now.
