Too late for a second chance (Lila and Dorian)

Chapter 406

Lila's long lashes fluttered softly, like a butterfly stretching its wings, casting a delicate and dreamy ripple through the air.

"Mrs. Morgan, how can you be so adorable?" Kieran murmured, his thumb brushing lightly against her cheek.

She didn't dare look at Kieran's undeniably captivating face any longer and turned her gaze slightly away, trying to escape the intensity of his stare.

But Kieran wasn't about to let her avoid him. Shifting his position with deliberate ease, he moved to align himself with her line of sight.

"I wonder if the adorable Mrs. Morgan would let me kiss her?"

Lila's eyes widened instantly. "Didn't you just..."

Hadn't he already kissed her just before her shower?

It hadn't even been that long ago, and now he was asking again.

Noticing the confusion flickering across her face, Kieran's lips curved into a soft, teasing smile.

"Mrs. Morgan is just too cute. So, may I?"

His voice was calm and smooth, but there was an unmistakable undertone of coaxing, laced with a hint of mischief.

"It's okay, Lila. We're already married. Isn't it normal to kiss your wife a little more often?" he added gently.

Her fingertips trembled slightly, and after a moment of hesitation, she slowly tilted her head upward.

Kieran's gaze darkened as he took in her obedient, almost shy expression.

A dangerous wave of emotion surged within him, and for the briefest moment, he had to fight the overwhelming urge to pull her close and press her against the wall.

Instead, he leaned down to place a soft kiss on her cheek.
