Laina's heart was like a whirlwind, filled with different emotions. At that moment, all she could think of was to remain as calm as she could.
Dante, on the other hand, was trying everything he could to go through with his bold move. He had missed the opportunity once to kiss Laina, he was not about to lose it now.
They were alone.
This moment would belong only to the two of them.
Dante was worried that Laina might back away, but as he got closer she did not move. She was like a deer in the headlights.
As their lips touched, Dante closed his eyes and savored the moment.
Everything about it felt right.
Laina's heart skipped a beat. She could feel the warmth of his lips on hers. He smelled of spices and lightly smoked wood. Laina parted her lips and so did Dante. They deepened their kiss.
