I Once Married You (Harper and Benjamin)

Chapter 86 Let Me Hug You

As she was about to finish her sentence, she was kissed.

The distance was so close that it only took a second to kiss her lips.

Lately, the two had been busy and had little intimacy. This kiss made Benjamin feel a bit out of control, even prompting him to nibble lightly.

Harper, realizing what was happening, instinctively struggled, but Benjamin had been prepared and grabbed her hand, raising it above her head, not giving her any chance to refuse.

The kiss lasted a long time, and Harper felt her energy draining away. Her legs felt limp, almost causing her to stumble, but thankfully, his hands were gently supporting her.

Benjamin didn't continue, but he didn't release her either. With his burning gaze fixed on her slightly swollen lips, even his breathing became heavier.

Benjamin's said in a husky voice, "Harper, you really affect me."

Harper looked at him innocently, thinking, "I haven't done anything, so how could I be affecting him?"

Meeting her gaze, Benjamin lightly traced her mouth with his fingers and said, "Don't give me that look, okay?"

The implication in his tone was heavy, and Harper finally understood what he meant by her affecting him. Her cheeks instantly burned hot.

She instinctively tried to push Benjamin away, but he pressed even tighter. Harper was almost being driven crazy by this intense intimacy, so she muttered, "Benjamin, let go. I'm uncomfortable." "What's wrong?" Benjamin asked with concern.

"You're too close to me, you're stealing my air."

"Try to blame me some more?" Benjamin smirked, his face exuding a hint of roguishness that couldn't be imitated by anyone else.

Harper pressed her lips, looking displeased.
