The Sway and Slide of Love by Jean Song

Chapter 263 Chapter 263

By the time Noelle realized it, Hendrix's lips were already on hers. They had been through many intimate moments together, their familiarity with each other's bodies surpassing even their understanding of their own.

Yet, it wasn't until this moment of shared kiss that felt like it belonged solely to lovers-devoid of desire, yet deeply meaningful.

Hendrix's movements were gentle, his lips softly enveloping hers and his tongue lightly grazing against them in careful, deliberate strokes. It was as if he were handling a precious yet fragile treasure, his tenderness boundless and cautious.

Noelle suddenly felt a little fuzzy in the head. At some point, her hands had instinctively gripped the collar of his shirt, twisting it tightly in her grasp.

And then, her phone rang.

The crisp ringtone was like an invisible hand, yanking Noelle out of the ethereal world of fleeting tenderness.

Hendrix tensed for a moment, but Noelle reacted even faster, shoving him away with a firm push. At the same time, she pulled back the foot he had been holding.

"Hello," she answered the call, her voice carrying a slight rasp, though she had already regained her usual composure. "Yeah, I see you. I'm in the car."

The call was from the designated driver. Noelle rolled down the window to confirm the details with him before letting him into the car. With the arrival of a third person, the previous intimate atmosphere in the car vanished completely.
