Rebirth Into My Second Chance

Chapter 261

I nestled deeper into Max's embrace, my cheeks aflame with a blend of embarrassment and nervousness. In matters of love, I realized I needed to be braver. After all, Max had never harmed me; it was I who foolishly kept pushing him away. "Max..." Once back in the room, I leapt from his arms, taking charge for a change. I wrapped my arms around his neck, pulling him down for a deeper kiss.

At that moment, he led me to the floor-to-ceiling window, perhaps intending to share an intimate moment there. But as fate would have it, my foot accidentally hit a button on the floor, and the window swung open.

Beyond lay an expansive garden, illuminated by lights and a fountain, causing me to recoil in surprise.

"Nervous?" Max's husky, magnetic voice murmured in my ear, sending a shiver down my spine.

"Yeah, could you close the curtains? The garden's right there," I mumbled, trying to hide, reaching for a throw on the couch to cover myself.

"But you look even more enticing with your cheeks all flushed," Max teased, pulling me closer, burying his face in my neck, and even giving a playful nip.
