Chapter 65

Her cheeks were so soft, just a slight tilt and Finnian's lips met hers. Her lips were even softer, smooth and enticing, much like a perfectly ripe peach, full and luscious.

Finnian couldn't help himself; he opened his mouth and gave her a playful nibble. Amara's eyes widened in shock, her eyelids trembling in disbelief.

Without a second thought, she pushed Finnian away, scrambling out of the bathtub, grabbing a towel to cover herself as she dashed out.

He was filled with regret, so much so that he felt like giving himself a slap. Had he really just kissed Amara on impulse? And not just her cheek—he had gone for the lips too?

Finnian gritted his teeth, slowly standing up from the tub. He glanced below his waist, his expression darkening. Only when he felt composed again did he nervously step out of the bathroom.
