just a little kiss. If you want, I can give you a really good kiss,” he stepped toward her again and she held her ground, “a kiss that will make you melt right in my arms, and you will feel things that you have never felt before.” He grinned at her and she glared at him. He paused in his approach toward her.
     
    “Hey, are you sorry or not? Are you interested in making this a good date or not? Come on. Come here and make it up to me. Be a good girl.” He reached for her and closed his hands around her waist, pulling her to him again, looking directly into her eyes. “This is what our parents want,” he said with slight sarcasm. “Let’s give them what they want. We can’t be disobedient.” He threw the statement at her and it hit her squarely in the heart.
     
    She froze. Was she being disobedient? Her mother had been so adamant about her being with Reed. Her heart began to pound and she felt a little panic rise in her. Reed reached up and slipped the comb from her hair and it tumbled down her back and over her shoulders, falling all around her like a satin curtain. He stared at it, and stared at her.
     
    “Holy sh…” he started to say and stopped himself. His voice came out in a reverent whisper. “You look unbelievable…” He barely spoke the words.
     
    As if in a trance, he reached one hand up and touched her hair, letting his fingers glide over it slowly and weave into the strands as he lowered his hand. Then he cupped her face with that hand, her hair still twined into his fingers, and with his other hand on her back, pulled her toward him and pressed his lips against hers, tasting her more slowly this time, sucking gently on her full lips and her tongue, discovering her mouth with his and losing himself in the exotic sensuality of her. “You are so delicious…” he said in a soft voice, his lips barely leaving hers as he spoke, his heart pounding heavy in his chest.
     
    She fought against the internal battle between the obedience she knew she owed to her mother and the independence she wanted so desperately to have for herself. She tried to deny it with everything in her, but Reed’s kiss was sending very hot waves through her body and she wished desperately that her body wasn’t betraying her just then, and that it would be as repulsed by him as her brain was. It was then that she felt his hand close over her breast again and begin to massage it, squeezing it as his thumb moved over her hardening nipple. That was all she could stand.
     
    Reed was so enraptured in his passionate moment that the sound and feel of her hand as it smacked his face was a complete shock to him. Added to that was the fact that no woman had ever hit him or denied him anything he wanted. He stumbled back from her in amazement and shock, his hand on his face and everything in him swirling in chaos and confusion. The physical sting of her slap was painful, but it was nothing compared to the jarring impact on his ego.
     
    “What the hell was that for?” he asked, completely incensed at her rejection of his advances.
     
    “Just who do you think you are?!” she yelled at him again. “I just told you that you had no business doing that to me! We don’t even know each other! How can you be like that with someone you just met! You’re so disgusting!”
     
    He was completely stunned. “…disgusting?” He felt a rare anger rise up in him. “You think you’re the only one who was told to go on this date? You aren’t! I didn’t want to be here either, but here I am, doing what is expected of me, and you go off half cocked and hit me! What the hell are you thinking?”
     
    She was outraged. “How dare you! What makes you think you have the right to touch anyone like that without being invited to do it? I didn’t even kiss you back! You’re unbelievable!”
     
    “Oh you think that was the wrong move on my part? You seemed to like it just fine by the feel of it!” he spat back at her, nodding at her
