“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. 

But they’re my lips! Aurora protested silently. 

But you promised to help Theo, her conscience poked at her.   

Theo wasn't grinning. He remained still as he held her gaze, as if he was waiting for her to decide.

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.”

Aurora rolled her eyes at her condescending laugh, then Theo tightened his arms and her back fell against his sturdy muscled chest. She turned back and mouthed, stop it. But Theo grinned back with a mischievous gaze.

“Ha! You stupid girl. You can’t fool us with your dumb tricks. You’re the weakest link in the family, remember that. So don’t think you can outsmart us,” her mother said angrily. 


Aurora would have erupted into a boiling rage, if not for Theo’s fingers - they have slipped into her again, stroking her insides, inducing streaks of heavenly delight through her.
