Chapter 116 Pettiness

As their body temperatures increased at an accelerating rate, the whole room was starting to burn. The intimate kiss spread all the way to Courtney’s chin, neck and her chest while a huge pair of hands swept through her body. However, she did not resist him at all since her mind was completely blank.

After taking a deep breath, she tried her best to compose herself. “I’m here. I didn’t hear you the first time because I’m a little busy. I’ll be there in 5 minutes. You can head there first.”
