Chapter 26 - Clara's First Kiss

After reading the group chat, his mood became much worse. Seeing those author's boasting about their book and income.

The happy mood just because of Clara suddenly became low.

Writing has always been Harry's hobby. It has always been Harry's dream to write a good book, get recognition from many readers, and publish it to prove his beliefs.

This road was extremely bumpy, and Harry had wanted to give up countless times. But in the end, he persisted because of his passion.

Now, he can't give up!

Because of writing books, he has suffered too much ridicule and contempt. If he backs down before he dies without proving himself, it will only allow those who once looked down on him, doubted him, and ridiculed him to succeed. It will only prove that what they said is right!

Harry gritted his teeth and muttered to himself, "I will never admit defeat!"

"Brother-in-law, what are you doing up there? Writing a book?"

Just then, a pleasant voice came from outside the door—it was Clara.

Harry composed himself, got up, and opened the door. Smiling at Clara, who stood at the doorway with her hands behind her back, he said, "No, just reading a bit to relax. I got tired from shopping earlier."

Clara's long, jet-black hair was still slightly damp, cascading over her shoulders. She was wearing a white blouse and a short skirt. Perhaps she hadn't dried herself off completely, as her white blouse clung to her body, faintly revealing a tantalizing cleavage.

Curiously, Clara glanced into Harry's study. He usually kept it quite tidy, but the ashtray was filled with cigarette butts, and a faint smell of smoke lingered in the air, causing her to frown slightly. "Brother-in-law, you should smoke less—it's bad for your health… Oh, I just washed some fruit and brought some up for you."

As she spoke, Clara gently took out a bowl of fruit from behind her back and handed it to Harry.

Harry quickly took the fruit, picked a cherry, and popped it into his mouth. "You're the most thoughtful, little sister. Want to come in and sit for a while?"

Harry sensed this was a good opportunity.

Thinking about the rewards he could gain after winning over his sister-in-law made his heart race even more.

"I've never had a tour of your study before, brother-in-law." Clara casually walked in and sat comfortably on the sofa. Looking at Harry's computer, she asked curiously, "Does writing online novels really make that much money? How do you do it? I can't even write my 10,000-word thesis."

Harry smiled at Clara. As she sat on the sofa, her legs had unconsciously parted slightly, and her short skirt covered only part of her smooth, fair legs.

Through the gap between her thighs, Harry even caught a glimpse of the pink underwear beneath.

His breathing became heavier instantly. His sister-in-law looked way too seductive like this! And they were alone together in the room!

The atmosphere felt incredibly intimate!

Suppressing his inner impulses, Harry smiled, picked up the fruit tray, and walked over to Clara. He placed the tray on the coffee table in front of her and said with a grin, "It's like your love for dancing—I've loved writing since I was a kid. It's my dream. Chasing dreams and doing what you love—how could that ever feel tiring?"

As he spoke, Harry sat down right next to Clara.

The distance between them was minimal. Harry's bare leg brushed against Clara's exposed skin.

After returning to his room earlier, he had also changed into a pair of casual shorts, leaving his legs exposed. The touch of their bare skin sent a cool yet warm sensation through him—soft, smooth, and incredibly comfortable.

Clara's legs were truly mesmerizing! Harry swore he could admire and touch them every day for a whole year and never get tired of it!

Clara also seemed to notice their legs touching, and her face flushed slightly. However, she didn't feel uncomfortable, assuming it was unintentional, so she hesitated to move away.

"Brother-in-law, I really envy you. You get to turn your passion into a career and freely chase your dreams." Clara looked at Harry with admiration.

Their eyes met, lingering in a gaze.

At this moment, the air in the room seemed to freeze, and the atmosphere instantly turned intimate.

Clara suddenly realized she was alone in a room with her brother-in-law, Harry. She wanted to flee, yet couldn't bring herself to leave.

She loved the feeling of being with Harry—safe, warm, and joyful. But when they were alone, loneliness and longing crept in. She knew it was dangerous, yet couldn't resist the urge to draw closer to him.

Harry observed Clara carefully. Seeing no negative emotions in her, he gathered his courage, steadied his breathing, and slowly reached out a trembling hand to gently rest on her waist.

Clara shuddered at the heat of his touch. Shyly avoiding his tender gaze, she turned her head away, biting her plush red lip nervously.

Her emotions had shifted, but there were no signs of rejection. The intimacy level hadn't dropped!

Seizing the moment, Harry tightened his grip slightly. Clara, already tense from nerves, lost her balance and fell into his arms.

"Brother-in-law... what... what are you doing?" Clara stiffened, acutely aware of Harry's heated body and ragged breaths.

This was her first intimate contact with a man—and that man was her sister's husband. Though shame and fear clawed at her, the sudden closeness also felt comforting, even thrilling.

At her age, Clara's heart yearned for affection and care. Loneliness drove her to seek more intimacy with Harry, the only man she could confide in. Her body instinctively responded, betraying her conflicted mind.

Caught off guard by his embrace, Clara's thoughts blanked. She could only lower her blushing face, her luscious lips trembling as she pressed them together.

Harry reveled in the softness of her body against his, her delicate fragrance enveloping him. Yet his heart pounded wildly—equal parts euphoria and guilt.

"Clara... I've liked you since the first moment I saw you," Harry murmured hoarsely, voice trembling. "This feeling... it's like a brother's love for his sister, but also... a man's love for the woman who stole his heart. I'm so torn... Holding you is the only thing that eases this pain."

"Brother-in-law, I know you care for me... and I... I like you too. But you're married to my sister! We can only ever be like siblings. Please... just treat me as your real sister, okay?" Clara pleaded, her pearly teeth sinking into her red lip as she met his gaze with desperate eyes.

"Clara... I know I shouldn't feel this way. I've tried to suppress it... but I... I can't help it. I'm so sorry..." Harry's resolve crumbled as he stared at her bitten lips and vulnerable expression. Overcome, he leaned down and captured her mouth in a kiss.

Soft, sweet, tender—her lips sent him spiraling into rapture.

This moment he'd fantasized about for so long finally arrived. As their lips met, Harry felt liberated. The innocence of her kiss reminded him of his first love, yet the illicit thrill of betraying his marriage electrified every nerve.

"Brother-in-law—" Clara gasped into the kiss. But seconds later, as if jolted awake, she shoved him away and stumbled toward the door in panic.
