One kiss ends, and Lucy Ansley's face is already flushed red.
It might not have lasted long, but time seemed to stretch infinitely during the passionate kiss.
The man releases her lips, their foreheads touch, and both of their breaths are chaotic.
Lucy Ansley is breathless, and as for Henry Ronan... only he knows what he's feeling.
A few seconds later, Lucy quietly leans against the man's shoulder, closing her eyes to steady her breath.
Realizing what she had just done, amidst her erratic breathing, her heart beats even faster.
This must be what kissing between couples feels like, nothing like she imagined.
The man beside her, his palm gently strokes the back of her head again and again.
Their hearts are both racing, even the temperature around them feels slightly overheated.
Henry Ronan tilts his head and kisses her ear, his husky voice alluring, "Will you come downstairs to eat with me?"
Lucy nods, her voice soft and weak, "Wait, wait a minute."
