His Unveiled Passion

Chapter 454

There was a hint of mirth painting Stephen's brow. Soon, his magnetic voice seemed to drift above Tessa's head as he teased, "Why did you stop kissing me?"

"You didn't want to be kissed," Tessa replied stonily.

She had felt guilty for forcing him to hide in her bedroom earlier. So, she wanted to make it up to him by showering him with affection. However, he didn't even respond after she had kissed him earlier.

Since he wasn't interested, why should she continue kissing him?

Stephen arched an eyebrow at her. "Did I say I wasn't interested?"

Tessa's cheeks puffed up in frustration as she complained, "Then, why didn't you respond? You didn't even kiss me back."

Stephen chuckled softly and replied, "You rarely ever take the initiative, Tess. I was just enjoying the moment."

Tessa scoffed at him before turning her head away in anger.

Stephen grinned. "Are you mad at me?"

Tessa continued to look away, refusing to give him the satisfaction of responding to him.

She might as well have a neon sign above her head that read, "I'm mad at you."

Stephen wasn't upset at her reaction. Instead, he regarded her dotingly and began to coax her gently, "What should I do? I still haven't had enough of you kissing me. Why don't you kiss me again? I promise I'll kiss you back this time."

"No way," she huffed.
