For a few moments, they lingered in the kiss, a slow and gentle meeting of lips that held an underlying current of shared emotions.
But suddenly, as if jolted from a dream, Ceti pulled back. She hastily moved her body to the side, her face flushing a brilliant shade of red.
The realization of what had just happened seemed to crash over her like a wave. In a flustered tone, she quickly covered her face with her hands, her voice muffled as she stammered, "P-Please forget what just happened…"
Was she really that crazy to kiss him? And it wasn't just a simple kiss, it was her first kiss. She never thought her first would be with Asher, of all people. Yet why... why did it feel like her heart was being bathed by moonlight?
At her sudden retreat, Asher couldn't help but chuckle.
