Her body tensed, her heart racing again as she felt his warmth surround her. His lips hovered just above hers, the heat of his breath sending shivers down her spine.
"W-What are you doing?" Cecilia stammered, her voice barely steady, her hands lightly pressing against his chest as she tried to comprehend his sudden boldness.
Asher's smile widened, his tone both teasing and serious, "My wish is... to kiss you whenever I want. You can grant me that wish, right? Or will you go back on your word?" His eyes sparkled with challenge as he gazed into hers.
Cecilia's eyes widened, and she quickly pushed him back, her hands trembling, "You!... You know no boundaries! How can you be so bold and casual about this?"
