Chapter 209
Maya's heart raced as she followed Liam to the door. She tried to come up with the right excuse to explain her action and an appropriate apology.
When they got to the door, he held it open for her to step outside, and then he shut it behind him.
Neither of them said a word until they got to his car, which was parked some distance away from the house. Then Maya turned to Liam, but before she could say anything, Liam spoke. "Well, that's out of the way now. I'm glad I've told her the truth," he said, and Maya forced a smile.
"Yeah," she said, her voice slightly cracked.
She cleared her throat, "About last night..."
"Why are you avoiding me?" They spoke at the same time.
Maya looked down, "I feel embarrassed," she admitted
"Why?" Liam asked quietly.
Maya looked up at him, "Are you seriously asking me that?"
"Yes, I am," Liam said with a nod.
Maya inhaled deeply, "Fine. I feel embarrassed because I kissed you. I did something I wasn't supposed to do. I had no right to do
that. And I feel ashamed of myself. I'm sorry. I shouldn't have done that. I have no idea what I was thinking or what possessed me.
You've been really kind to me, and maybe it's because I'm not used to such kindness without strings attached, I'm not sure. What I did was wrong. I'm sorry," she said, her words pouring out really fast as her heart hammered in her chest.
Liam stared at her as she spoke, unsure what to do with her apology. His mind had been messed up since she kissed him, and he wasn't sure an apology was enough to fix it.
"How about we both get on the same page?" He suggested.
"What do you mean?" She asked with a confused frown.
Without responding to her question, Liam stepped forward, and his arm went around her waist, covering the space between them.
Maya's heart skipped a beat, and her eyes widened in surprise as he lowered his head to hers. Mayas breath hitched as Liam's lips claimed hers with a deliberate intensity.
The kiss wasn't a mere brushing of lips as hers had been. He nibbled softly on her lower lip until her lips parted of their own accord, and then he devoured her lips, kissing her so passionately that the world around her blurred, leaving nothing but the warmth of his touch and the electric pull between them.
His arm tightened around her waist, anchoring her as the kiss deepened, sending shivers coursing down her spine. She felt her hands rise, hesitating before settling against his chest, where his heart pounded just as wildly as hers.
For a moment, Maya forgot how to think and how to breathe. All she knew was the way his lips moved against hers, tender yet consuming as if he'd been waiting to do this for a long time. His other hand moved gently to her cheek, cradling her face as though she were something precious.
Her knees threatened to buckle, but his hold on her was firm. The kiss wasn't just a response but an answer, a declaration she hadn't been expecting.
When he finally pulled back, his forehead rested against hers. They stood there, breaths mingling in the cool night air. Maya's eyes fluttered open, meeting his gaze, which was heavy with emotion and something she couldn't quite name.
