Yes!

I feel a huge grin break out across my face and realize that I’ve been waiting for Kimberly to ask. I’ve been so concerned not to pressure her into anything, given her previous boyfriend, that I haven’t been letting myself think about our relationship at all. Since I first met Kimberly, all the time I used to spend with Danni has been going to her instead—we’ve practically been dating for a while now—but I didn’t want to scare her off. Now I don’t need to worry about that, and I can feel how much I want to be with her.

“Yes,” I say, and take her in my arms. I kiss her gently, but her urgency quickly turns the kiss hungry and passionate. She grabs my ass with both hands and squeezes hard. It feels like a promise.
