Seraphina entered her room, her steps unsteady, her mind completely blank except for the lingering warmth on her lips.
She closed the door behind her and leaned against it, her chest rising and falling as her heart raced wildly in her chest.
What just happened?
Her hand trembled as she touched her lips, her fingertips brushing over them as though she could still feel the press of his mouth against hers.
Her knees felt weak, and she stumbled toward the bed, collapsing onto it silently.
She stared at the ceiling, wide-eyed, as the realization of what had just transpired slowly dawned on her.
“Oh my God…” she whispered, her voice barely audible in the quiet room.
Her lips parted, and a shaky exhale escaped as her thoughts spiraled.
That was… so good. The memory of his lips—soft but insistent, demanding yet gentle—sent a shiver down her spine.
Her second kiss. And it was him. Again.
Adolphus had been her first kiss, too.
