Chapter 137: Before the final round

Suddenly, while I was lost in these new feelings, the warmth of Evangeline's lips brought me back to reality. Something inside me shifted; a chaotic mix of love and desire had intoxicated me in a way I had never felt before. However, I was also aware of the dangers of this situation. I didn't want to take a step back, but at the same time, I realized that I didn't need to be overly cautious in this new and different relationship with her. When I pulled my lips away, even if just for a second, I could swear I saw the passionate expression in Evangeline's eyes, along with a look of disappointment at the kiss ending.

"I'm going to leave now so you can rest, Eva. But I hope you don't change your mind," I said as I stood up.

"Ethan..." she said, and I could barely see the glimmer of happiness in her eyes. "From your kiss, I gathered that you're quite experienced..." she added in a teasing tone.
