Chapter 62: Don’t Hold Back

Ji-Ah lay still, trying to ignore the warmth of Evelyn's body against hers. But it was impossible—not when Evelyn's fingers were slowly tracing patterns on her back, light and deliberate.

"Evelyn," Ji-Ah muttered, voice quieter than she intended.

"Hmm?" Evelyn's tone was lazy, satisfied.

Ji-Ah sighed. "You're doing it on purpose."

Evelyn chuckled, her fingers trailing lower, just enough to tease. "Doing what?"

Ji-Ah turned her head to glare at her, but Evelyn only smirked, eyes dark with amusement. Ji-Ah opened her mouth to say something—anything—but Evelyn leaned in, pressing a slow, deliberate kiss to the corner of her lips.

Ji-Ah froze. It wasn't playful this time. It wasn't teasing.

Evelyn's hand slid from her back to her waist, pulling her closer. "You're thinking too much again," she murmured.

Ji-Ah swallowed. Maybe she was. Maybe she should stop.

So this time, she didn't hesitate. She reached up, fingers tangling in Evelyn's hair, and kissed her back—fully, without second-guessing.

Evelyn let out a soft hum of approval, deepening the kiss as her grip tightened around Ji-Ah's waist. The heat between them grew, neither of them pulling away.

Ji-Ah barely noticed when Evelyn shifted, rolling them so she was on top, her weight pressing down just enough to make Ji-Ah's breath hitch.

"You're letting me win too easily," Evelyn teased against her lips.

Ji-Ah smirked, flipping them back over in one quick motion, pinning Evelyn beneath her. "Who said I'm letting you win?"

Evelyn grinned up at her. "Oh, now you're playing dirty."

Ji-Ah leaned down, her lips barely brushing Evelyn's. "You started it."

Evelyn laughed softly, hands resting on Ji-Ah's hips. "Then finish it."

And this time, Ji-Ah didn't hold back.
