Archie stood there, his lips parted in disbelief as he watched her leave. Wait... this was strange. Wasn't he the one who initiated their kiss before Orion entered? He was also the one who whispered dirty words in her ear just now, and rubbed her against him because he felt like molding her body against his, to tell her her place was in his arms. Even if he couldn't act on the burning lust coursing through his veins because of obvious reasons.
Then why was he shocked just because she kissed him? Not even on his lips, but at the corner of his lips.
Three and a half years of celibacy had surely taken its toll on him.
"I guess it's her first time calling you 'love'," Orion spoke up, a hint of a smile breaking out on his face for the first time since he stepped into the office. "You look so shocked," he observed.
