"I assure you, I know what kind of person is perfect for you," he whispered softly. "Recall that evening at your house after dinner?" he inquired, trailing kisses up my earlobe. I trembled, nodding in response. A tender smile graced his lips against my skin. "I really did want to kiss you then," he confessed.
