He kissed her in the shadows. It was mind-blowing, passionate, hot and daring. But when Miranda removed the blindfold from her eyes, she didn't expect that the man she hated was the one she was making love with. It was supposed to be his fiance’, Fiore. Her three years boyfriend whom she thought had given her virginity. Instead, she was mistakenly devirginized by his fiance’s best friend, Xylon Diaz. 

Fiore was furious and no more weddings will take place. Miranda hated Xylon to the depths of the earth. But she will be forced to live with Xyle because they were stranded in the ancient country house in the middle of the woods. Until such time that her body felt differently. She wants Xyle to kiss her. She wants that one night with Xyle to happen once again.

When Fiore returns, Miranda has to choose. The man she promised her heart or the man her body is longing for.

Kiss in the Shadow

I LOOKED at my reflection from the mirror. The white lace nightwear I'm wearing almost showed up everything underneath. I was refreshed after I took a bath even though my feet were still hurt from some wounds I had when I searched for Xylon in the forest. 


My forehead creased when I saw the book on top of my dresser. The book that he gave me. I’ll lie to myself if I won't admit that I didn't pleasure myself ever. But I’m still ashamed of myself for doing that. I have friends in the office who say it's normal to sometimes play yourself. Every time they talked about that kind of topic, I walked away. I was never too conservative but one could say I was living a proper, decent life. I’m also ashamed to admit that my undies get wet just the thought of doing it. I couldn't bear to hear something that is making me wet and horny. And just like I said, being clean inside and out is important. Doing things like that should be done in a bond of a special relationship, like marriage and with love. 


But then, now that I thought of it while looking at myself wearing this lingerie… and then Xylon… ‘Ah! Xylon! You are a big temptation!’ I sighed several times. I hid the book so I could not see it and be tempted. 


"Damn! What was I thinking?" I said out loud. 


"W-Why did you come in here?" I asked nervously as Xylon stood in front of me. He's already fresh with his tight, white shirt and colourful boxers with graphics, in big, bold letters ... caution! ‘Just like what I was thinking, right?’ He’s carrying a small box in one hand -first aid kit according to its label- and plastic of cotton balls in the other. 


"I'm sorry to startle you. I came in because your door is open." His eyes travelled over my body. "I’ve been calling you a few times but you seem to be so far away. What were you thinking about?" There was a mischievous smile on his lips. 


I averted my eyes. "N-Nothing, ” I said, conscious of what he is seeing right now. 


He hummed and his eyes went down. "Let me take a look at your feet." He stepped closer to me. He quickly knelt on the floor and then looked up at me. "It's a beautiful view from here." And then he smirked. 


I was shivered by his words. It has an effect on me that wasn't there before. I quickly sat down on the edge of the bed. 


"Stop with your jokes," I said frowning. "Don’t make me take back what I said about being kind to you." 


He didn't say anything but gave me that smile. It was a very… well, handsome... seductive smile. Then he lifted my foot. 


‘Damn! The current was unbelievably making me wetter.’
