The kiss was scorching and chaotic as if he intended to melt her completely. Under such an assault, Aveline's resistance gradually weakened. Sensing her relaxation, Lucas loosened his grip and turned her around to face him.

"Slap!"

A crisp sound echoed in the darkness, neither of them able to see each other's faces clearly.

Lucas let out a low laugh. "Then maybe I should go all the way and make it a case of marital rape instead?"
