Chapter 34

Chapter 34:

Brian’s touch felt almost magical.

Each touch sent tingles cascading down her spine.

Bathed in soft yellow light, their surroundings took on a stunning quality.

Tonight, the moon shone with a special magic, a fine crescent adorning the sky. Gentle breezes made the white curtains at the windows dance, adding a cozy, tender vibe to the room.

Lying on the bed, Brian’s features were illuminated by moonlight, casting him in an almost ethereal glow.

The sharp edges usually evident in his demeanor had mellowed with the alcohol, lending him a softer, more approachable air. His lips, flushed a soft pink, seemed especially inviting.

Rachel found herself captivated, her thoughts drifting.

This man was deeply familiar to her.

He was the one she had tirelessly chased and yearned for over the years. He embodied maturity, authority, and charisma. He was irresistibly charming to her.

Despite all his qualities, his love for her was nowhere to be found.

What was she supposed to do? Despite everything, she remained hopelessly in love with him.

“Brian, has anyone ever mentioned just how charming you are?”

The serene ambiance of the night seemed to embolden Rachel. Her delicate fingers gently traced his features, each stroke filled with yearning.

“Of course, I’m naturally attractive,” Brian said, prompting laughter from Rachel. His confidence was unwavering.

Overwhelmed by her feelings, she pulled him into an embrace, her eyes lingering affectionately on his face.

“Brian, I love you! Promise me it’s only me you love, okay?”

At that moment, she embraced him tightly, appearing small and fragile. Brian leaned in close, their foreheads touching, his breaths short and urgent.

“Prove your love then. Kiss me!”

Without a moment’s hesitation—unlike ever before—Rachel’s quivering lips tentatively found his, before he deepened the kiss.

His touch was tender, his voice nearly dissolving her resolve.
