Chapter 47

Chapter 47 Nicolass kiss was feather light , a tender gesture that carried the weight of reverence , as if he were handling a priceless artifact .

This gentle exploration was a sensation Noelle had never experienced before .

Her wide , expressive eyes reflected Nicolass strikingly handsome features , and she asked curiously , Nick , is this what kissing feels like ? Could you stop being so gentle ? Its ticklish like I just ate Sichuan pepper .

Shut up , Nicolas muttered , his composare cracking .

Leave it to Noelle to obliterate any semblance of romantic atmosphere with her straightforward observations Not wanting to risk her saying something even more outrageous , Nicolas leaned in again , effectively silencing her with another kiss .

When they finally pulled apart , their breaths lingered , mingling softly between thein .

Noelles les lips , now slightly swollen and glistening , looked even more enticing , while her pale cheeks carried a faint blush that gave her a cherubic glow Did you learn anything ? Nicolass deep voice carried a teasing lilt , his thumb brushing over her lips in a slow , deliberate motion that made her shiver .

It was Noelles first time experiencing something like this , and her heart was racing Noelle caught his hand mid motion , her bright eyes brimming with excitement .

Nick , this is the first time anyones kissed me like this .

Hmm … that much was obvious , Nicolas replied , smirking at her inexperience .

Noelle pouted slightly , her expression both frustrated and eager .

But Im not sure Ive got the hang of it .

Nick , can I try again ? Just to practice Nicolas s sharp blue eyes flashed with amusement as he chuckled softly .

Not a chance .

Todays lesson is over Why ? The disappointment in her voice was palpable , her pout deepening After all , Noelle was very smart .

She could learn anything just by watching it once But it this time , she wasnt sure .
