His Unveiled Passion

Tessa could tell that her face was as red as a tomato. It was as though her blood

was scalding hot, ready to release some steam out of her pores. She felt as

though she was completely enveloped in a wave of heat brought on by passion.

Stephen opened his eyes and loosened his hold on Tessa.

Tessa's breathing was still coming in soft pants as she looked at Stephen dazedly.

His deep eyes felt like whirlpools, ready to draw her in and eat her whole.

His voice was low, carrying with it a hint of content and satisfaction. "You're right.

It was sweet, but... you're far sweeter than the candy."

Tessa's face flushed further upon hearing his words.

Tessa lay in her bed after her shower that night. She was on an adrenaline high,

unable to fall asleep.

Her time together with Stephen seemed to be playing in her mind on repeat.

They had kissed twice in just one day.

It felt like a dream.

It had been half a year since they broke up. Yet, so much had happened over the

course of those six months.

Of course, she could tell that Stephen had feelings for her. However, she had

been trying to stop herself from reciprocating.

Perhaps her iron hold on her emotions had gone slack because she was in

Eraline, where no one knew who she was. Perhaps she was behaving this way

because she did not have to worry about her father's opinions.

There was also a chance that the pain etched into her very soul was slowly fading

away because of the tranquil scenery, allowing her a chance to finally breathe.
