Chương 107: His promise

"I missed you so terribly bad I can kiss you all night." The second the last syllable of her sentiments escaped her lips, Cosette tilted her head and planted a kiss on his lips. 

Maxen closed his eyes ever so slowly, basking in the sweetness and hotness of her lips conquering his. His heart was racing so fast, but the warmth of her body embracing him soothed all the tension in every fiber of his body. Her words were akin to a chord that struck a string in his heart, and he just couldn't stop himself from falling deeper and deeper. 

When their lips parted, they were both panting for air. She rested her head on his forehead, still cupping his cheek, smiling subtly. Unlike their fervent and desperate primal need, their heart just felt full at the moment. It felt like they magically didn't need to go as far as to have sex just to express their hearts. 

The contentment with each other's presence and warmth were already enough.
