“She wanted his lips on hers. 

But she didn’t expect their first kiss to happen under such circumstances. At a loss for words, Aurora could only stare at Theo as hundreds of thoughts zoomed through her mind at once.

Is she really going to let him kiss her in front of all these strangers? If she didn’t, he would be embarrassed in front of his friends.

Aurora inched closer with her eyes set on his mouth. Theo took the hint and swooped down to take what she was offering. 

The second their lips touched, it was electrifying.”

Theo sighed. Frustration was stirring inside him. He took two deep breaths to settle it and continued in a gentler manner. “What's the blackmail about?” 


And the hesitation was firmly back in her face. What the hell is that secret, he was dying to know. He didn't like that she was fiercely protecting something unrelated to him.
