When Her "Death" Couldn't Break Him (Cecilia and Nathaniel)

Chapter 189 The Next Step

Cecilia found herself held by him, standing rigidly in place..

After a long while, she shook her head. “I don’t hate you.”

That was the truth.

Upon hearing her words, Nathaniel held her even tighter, his large hand resting on her face, gently caressing it.

It was only now then that he could truly feel that Cecilia still belonged to him.

Cecilia knew the time was right. She lifted her gaze to Nathaniel, standing on her tiptoes. Her red lips brushed against his Adam’s apple, then moved upward, grazing his lips.

The spot where Nathaniel was kissed by her felt as if it was engulfed in flames..

Time and again, despite his incredible restraint, it proved to be insufficient.

He took hold of Cecilia’s nape with one hand and leaned in for an assertive kiss.

Regardless of her intentions at the moment, he desired her that night.

Cecilia noticed his change and seized a moment of rest to say, “I’m a bit scared; can we have a drink first?”

“Alright.”

Facing her dewy–eyed gaze, Nathaniel struggled to control himself, his voice hoarse.
