Chapter One
His hands were tightly wrapped around her waist as if he wouldn't let go until she obediently kissed him.
Sofia Hamilton's face was as red as a cooked shrimp. Meeting his burning dark gaze, she steeled herself and pecked his lips, "Is that okay now?"
"It lacked sincerity," he said.
"..."
Sofia Hamilton was speechless, "Ryan Gregory… mmm…"
She couldn't finish her words before her lips were sealed by his.
The sudden kiss landed on her lips, pressing into her softness with intensity.
Sofia Hamilton's eyebrows knitted tightly together, unsure where to place her hands. Her heart raced faster, and it felt as if her blood was boiling.
Her head was spinning badly, and his scent filled her breath.
The breathing could be heard, the touch was clear...
This time, there was no haste as in the past, but instead, it was filled with patience and cherishing, which easily unsettled the heart.
She thought she must have caught a cold.
