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 LAUGHED quietly at myself. What a fool I was to still have feelings for Xylon. This unexplainable sensation that I couldn't fathom until now. 


"Stop talking, Xyle! It was never your fault," I said without looking at him. 


"You still have feelings for Fiore. I should not have insisted in the first place." 


"I'm not a wimp because I can fight if I want to!" I let out a sigh. 


Truth be told, whatever that thing is? It was memorable for me. If I was sorry for what happened between us back then, the night we spent together was different. Because that night meant a lot to me. 


"Then why did you let me?" he asked. I couldn't look straight at his earnest and keen reaction. 


I averted my gaze. Why did I allow him? The answer remains a question to me. But I have to be firm with what I have chosen. 


"Y-You're right, Xylon. That was so unacceptable. We shouldn't have done it. We shouldn't even talk about it..."
