Book 2 - Chapter 17

The look on Ruen’s face showed that he was stunned by my words. Then, some moments later his eyes softened likely realizing what I meant. He inched closer to me and ever so gently touched my cheeks. This time, the heat I was feeling ignited more. 

“Lianne, are you sure?” he asked me with doubt in his eyes.

“Yes...” was my most ardent reply.

He bent his head to kiss me. It was pure bliss. The feeling of his lips on mine, finally. I remembered back in the mansion, before my friends and I were to go to the cave, he bestowed a kiss on me like this. Although that one was a bit aggressive, possibly because he was jealous of Cain, but it was still the same, full of desire that was tangible on his lips.

I let myself loose. I didn’t allow anything to nail me down or let any feeling of hesitation come over me.

Free.
