Chapter 199

Genevieve felt embarrassed to admit it, fearing her words might enchant him and make him lose control.

After a prolonged standoff, Anthony finally released her hand, and then gently touched her eyes and brows.

Before she could sigh with relief, Anthony suddenly leaned in, his handsome face right in front of her.

Genevieve’s heart skipped a beat.

Before she could react, Anthony’s warm lips pressed firmly against hers, dominant yet aloof.

As their lips met, a surge of electricity surged through her, sending a delightful shiver down her spine.

The contrast in physical strength between the man and the woman became evident at that moment.

He appeared somewhat hurried but at the same time leisurely in his desire for control, both over her and

himself.

He casually enjoyed kissing her, savoring the moment with his hand unmoving.

Her eyes, beautiful like stars on a calm summer night, draw one in with their irresistible charm.

When Genevieve gazed into Anthony’s eyes, she snapped out of her daze, sensing a cold and restrained demeanor beneath his gaze.

She abruptly turned her head, taking deep, slow breaths to calm herself.

A momentary lapse nearly made her play pretend to turn real as if she had been transported back to the days of intimate closeness three years prior when his eyes were solely for her in moments like this.

Genevieve felt a cool sensation spreading through her heart, deepening with each passing moment.

Anthony thought she was nervous as she trembled slightly.

He instinctively pulled her into his arms.

Genevieve’s scent resembled the shower gel he used, carrying a gentle, sweet orange fragrance that lingered

softly.

They drew close together. The man exuded warmth, while the woman seemed refreshingly cool.
