"Finally…"
Mineah let out a sigh of relief the moment that she was out of the carriage. She almost felt like she was devoid of air for a long time, after having stayed inside the carriage with Nikolai alone after that kiss.
Against her better judgment, she sneaked glances in Nikolai's direction while the latter was talking to his Chancellor. She subconsciously touched her lips and then inwardly cursed.
The tingling sensation kept surfacing just from the mere thought of that kiss, and she couldn't understand why that was the case.
Somehow, feeling Nikolai's lips against hers felt really good to the point that she was disappointed when he first broke away.
"I'm probably a lousy kisser…" she unknowingly murmured. She honestly didn't know if she responded properly to his gentle kiss.
'No! Focus, Mineah…' she inwardly scolded herself, slightly shaking her head as if to wake herself up from a daydream. 'You can do better than this…'
