Bab 403: He Was Playing With Fire

Warm lips sealed over his and pushed against it and Elijah froze up as if the world had ended. What was going on here? He could feel her moist, plump lips pressing against his own as she kissed him. The kiss was tentative as if she was confused about whether to go on or just stop the whole dumb thing.

And she did stop, taking a step back.

Adele pushed her hair to the back of her ear, looking up at him unsure,

"I know we agreed not to do this again, but I just thought...." She shrugged, "Maybe you needed a bigger distraction."

Elijah simply stared at her without saying a word. He had always been a fan of strong, bold women and he had to admit that she won him over with that kiss.

"Please say something," Adele shifted uncomfortably on her heels. Aziz just stood there like a robot, blinking at her. Did he even hear what she said or has his mind floated away to God knows where? God damn it, she shouldn't have come on too strong.
