Chapter 8 – Blame The Alcohol (Anj‘s POV)
“Just a kiss?” Sky Mars, the Mighty Sky, curved a naughty smile on his lips.
I chuckled, feeling the heat creeping through my cheeks. I knelt before him and leaned my head forward. “Just a kiss,” I whispered. Not waiting for him to answer, I planted a quick kiss on his lips, and I was right about the softness of his sensual lips.
My heart was dancing with joy, my brain was screaming with shame, and my body was burning with unexplainable desire as I returned to sitting on the sand. I swallowed hard, wanting to run to the water and submerge myself to hide from him. Then, I heard him laugh hard.

I giggled when he caught me, but I stopped laughing when our eyes met. If

I swallowed hard, breathing out as I wished for a real kiss. “You‘re right because you‘re making me insane,” he said huskily, our lips so close that I thought we were breathing as one. My eyes
