Keira Leaf noticed that his hold on her hand had stilled. She slightly turned her head, their lips brushed against each other in a brief instant. Keira froze in place. Then neither of them moved, their thin lips just silently remaining pressed together.
Joshua Sulliven's heart started to beat faster. He stared at her ruby red lips, feeling like his throat was starting to dry up. The accidental touch tickled his heart, setting his Adam's apple in motion several times.
Keira's eyes were wide open, just staring at Joshua, not blinking at all, as if she was afraid to break the silence.
"Close your eyes," Joshua murmured softly.
Keira obediently closed her eyes, her lashes trembling slightly.
Joshua gently laid Keira flat, letting her long hair scatter across the sofa. As if handling an unparalleled treasure, he delicately leaned down to press a kiss on her lips. Afterward, he slowly lowered his gaze, becoming completely focused.
