Friends Forever (4 page)
“Oh.” Kate sat up abruptly. “So to save your
ass and not get into a fight with Kurt, prevented you from treating
me like a person? That's lame, even for you Rome.”
“No, it's the truth.” He gently ran his
fingertips over her cheek. “Kurt had forewarned me years ago not to
touch you. You were off limits.”
“He said that!” Kate grew agitated. “I can't
believe he'd say that.”
“He did,” Rome uttered. “But against my
better judgment, I couldn't stay away. The way you’ve taunted me
all these years.”
“Me?” She fluttered her eyelashes
innocently, placing her hand on her chest.
“Yes, you.” he laughed. “The way you swagger
your ass in front of me all the time and that time you came out of
the bathroom wearing only a towel. Barely enough material to cover
an and let alone your voluptuous body.”
Laughing, Kate blushed. “I did do that,
didn't I? I was pretty blatant.”
“Yes, you were.” Rome leaned over, taking
her lips with his and hungrily tasted her. “So, am I forgiven for
treating you unfairly?”
“In due time…” Kate repeated his words from
earlier. “In due time…”
She covered his mouth with hers and as the
kiss deepened, Rome pulled away.
“What?”
“Who's going to tell Kurt?”
“You, of course. You'll have to protect my
honor and all that.” She smiled mischievously. “Then when he kicks
your ass for violating his little sister, I'll kick his ass for
making us wait for so long.”
“Sounds perfect,” Rome replied, capturing
her lips with his.
