Swoon Thursday, Hockey Style

Swoon Thursday is a weekly meme hosted by YA Bound @ http://yabound.blogspot.com.

He takes a step closer to me, ducks his head and kisses me right there on the snow-covered edge of the cliff. I press myself into him, arms wrapping around his neck, deepening the kiss.

He takes my face in his hands and I can feel his rough thumb brush against my cheek.

I'm not sure how long we stand here this way before he breaks the kiss and takes a step back.

"You're alright, you know that?" he says to me, wrapping his arm around my shoulders. I smile and kiss his cheek.
