Capítulo 80: The likely reason behind the kidnapping attempt

"Would you?" I asked as we parted our lips, only to raise and slide my hand up Claire's side, track the curvature of her waist turning into her chest, over her armpit, and across her neck, all the way to the point where my hand laid down on her cheek. 

But I wasn't done there. 

Moving my hand just a little bit higher, I locked Claire's bottom lip between my thumb and the side of my forefinger, pulling it down as if to open her mouth for another kiss. 

Claire's hands moved up and rested down on my chest as she obediently followed my guidance, allowing me to pull her mouth open… and thus rendering herself unable to voice her answer. 

Instead, she pushed the top of her head down, wrapping her upper lip down against my finger only to then look up, giving me a perfect look at her upturned eyes.
