The two stood so close that Elizabeth would touch his lip if she moved even a little.
Such proximity was dangerous.
Elizabeth instinctively reached out her hand to create a barrier between them, tilting her head slightly to generate distance from Max.
Unexpectedly, as she moved, Max kissed her directly.
"Mmm."
The moment their lips met, Max felt like an electric current surged through his limbs, causing a numbing sensation.
The soft touch made him unconsciously tighten his grip around Elizabeth's slender waist, and his breathing became rough, intensifying the kiss.
Elizabeth placed her hands on his chest and forcefully pushed him away.
"Let go, release me."
Max couldn't simply let go after longing for this kiss. He wished he could have relationship with her right then and there.
But Elizabeth bit him with great force.
In pain, Max retreated with a muffled grunt.
