Chapter 61 Temptation (2)

His lips crashed into hers, rough and urgent, stealing the air from her lungs. The kiss wasn't soft—it was a demand, a punishment, a confession. Her hands flew up to his chest, fingers curling into his shirt, but instead of pushing him away, she pulled him closer.

He tasted like fire and danger, like something forbidden she craved anyway. Her back arched into him, his other hand gripping her waist like he was afraid she'd disappear if he let go.

She moaned against his mouth—just once—and that was all it took for him to deepen the kiss. Tongues tangled. Teeth grazed. It was chaos and hunger and heat, and neither of them wanted to come up for air.

When he finally pulled back, his breath was rough against her cheek. His forehead pressed against hers, both of them panting.

"See, I told you, don't provoke me."

Olivia's once excited and wild face suddenly turned calm. Her once fiery golden eyes changed to the shade of green.
