Villain Ch 1975. A Night to Remember [Part 1]
The kind of kiss that tasted like promises.
The kind that felt like silk sheets and heat and thunder rolled into one.
And this time, she kissed him back with all of it.
With the ache.
With the trust.
With the fact that for the first time in a long, long time… she felt chosen.
When they pulled apart, her voice was soft. "Thank you."
"You haven't even opened your gifts yet," he teased.
"I don't care about the gifts."
"Liar," he said gently, tucking her hair behind her ear. "You like being spoiled."
"…Maybe," she whispered.
He leaned in again, brushing his lips over hers.
"You deserve it."
Her legs were barely holding her up now. Emotion, lust, heat...it was all swirling.
Allen stepped back. "You can take a bath first. Or open your presents. Or sit on the bed and cry. Your choice."
She snorted through her haze. "You're such an asshole sometimes."
He winked. "A thoughtful one."
And yeah… maybe she was in trouble.
