    Summary

    “What d’ya think… it’s like to be kissed?... Like if you’re kissing a girl, what does she think of it? D’you wonder what it’s like from that side of it? If you’re a good kisser?”

    Lupe pondered for a moment, squinting her eyes and weighing the question. Jess almost laughed at how seriously she was taking it.

    Then Lupe pulled Jess forward by the collar of her shirt and kissed her hard. She was rough and warm and tasted of smoke, beer, and laughter. Every inch of Jess’s body that was touching Lupe tingled with an electric buzz. Jess pressed back and let her lips part slightly, a heady rush of excitement making her dizzy. Far too soon, Lupe broke it off and pulled back, grinning like a satisfied cat.

    “You tell me, brother.”

    For a moment they stared at each other and Jess felt like she was looking through entire universes as she met Lupe’s eyes. Like a magnet between them, she leaned back in, her heart racing, her hands trembling, her whole self screaming for more–

    ---

    Jess and Lupe stick together after the season ends. The foundation of deep friendship and loyal brotherhood is challenged when other feelings start to encroach. It’s all fun and games until someone falls in love!

    “Take me with you. I want to go."
