Strategic Move

Right when Mark was thinking of how to handle his frustration, Elena's face came into his view, and before he could get answers to the reason she returned, he felt the soft press of her lips on his lips.

The kiss felt so gentle like he had not experienced before. But how could he let an opportunity like that pass him by?

Mark did not need any other sign to embrace what had already been destined so, he wrapped his arms around Elena's waist to deepen the kiss. But at that exact moment he thought he was going to get what he wanted, Elena opened her eyes and leaned away.

"No," she shook her head before breaking away from his grasp. "I'm going to shower," she told him before striding away. 

Elena went over to the laundry basket to throw her dress in before backing Mark to unclasp her bra.
