My hands went to his arms, and I held them for a brief second, but after regaining my senses, I quickly pulled away and stepped back.
What did I... What did I just do? Did I just return the kiss? Goodness!
"Are you... Are you okay?" Cole drew closer to me again, but I took another step back.
"No... I... am..." I stuttered, breathless.
"Is it because of the kiss? Was it that bad? I'm sorry if I offended you, but I've always wanted to do that," he apologized.
"No. No, it's nothing, no," I said, clearing my throat.
"But your reaction..." He moved closer and held my hands. "I didn't imagine you'd react that way," he said, looking at me.
"No, it's just that..." I paused and cleared my throat. How do I explain this situation to him? How do I tell him that I'm fated to the Notorious Four? If they learn of our kiss, they won't let him go free. They'll either kill him, put him in a coma, or take him to prison. They won't let him go free, that's for sure.
