Chapter 103 Friends with Age Gap

Downstairs, people were coming and going, and Chloe never expected Grant to be so bold. He actually kissed her!

What's more, embarrassingly, she found herself utterly captivated by his kisses, unable to extricate herself.

Grant's kissing skills were exceptional, and as they shifted and deepened, both of them experienced a slight loss of control in their actions. Her eyes widened, and her breath hitched, leaving her mind utterly blank. The kiss was charged with an urgent fervor, as if Grant was conveying some deep-seated desire and longing.

His fingers gently but firmly cupped her chin, holding her head steady, as though he feared she might evade him. The overwhelming passion exploded in her chest, her heartbeat thundering like a drum. Initially, her hands instinctively pressed against his chest, an attempt to push him away. But that resistance melted almost immediately, and her fingers slowly traced their way up to his shoulders.

At that moment, someone called Chloe from the stairs, and she instantly came to her senses. She pushed Grant away and fled in a panic. Smirking, Grant touched his lips. It was a disappointment that a deep kiss like that ended so abruptly.

Escaping from Grant's room, Chloe nearly collided with Rena, who was anxiously searching for her on the stairs. Beads of sweat glistened on Rena's forehead as she exclaimed, "Chloe, where did you go? I was looking all over for you."

Chloe, still breathless from her encounter, tried to regain her composure. "I... I was just, um, talking with Grant," she stammered, her cheeks flushing a deep crimson. "Miss Thorne said she wanted to see Grant, so I came to check when he would come downstairs."

Rena raised an eyebrow, noticing Chloe's disheveled state and the unmistakable flush of her cheeks. "Just checking, huh?"

Rena's words made Chloe feel guilty, and she quickly said, "Yes, I just came to check. What else do you think I could be doing?"

Rena didn't press the issue further and pulled Chloe downstairs. "Alright, alright, let's not talk about this. You should hurry downstairs; Michael said Jessica has arrived."
