Her eyes widened as he whispered her name, the raw need in his voice sending a shiver down her spine. She tried to push him away, but her body betrayed her, leaning into him instead. The kiss deepened, turning more desperate, more consuming. Casio's hands roamed over her back, pulling her closer, making her gasp against his mouth.
His lips were still pressed against Verena's, his heart racing with excitement, when suddenly they were interrupted by a maid's gasp. Verena's eyes flashed open, and she pushed him away, her face flushed with embarrassment.
Casio broke off the kiss, his chest heaving, and took a step back, a smirk on his face. "Well, well, well. Looks like we got a little carried away, didn't we?"
Verena's eyes narrowed, her voice low and husky. "Shut up, Casio. Just shut up."
