Sharing Valerie

CHAPTER 186

~Valerie's POV~

The kiss was slow, unrushed but deep, like a secret Dristan didn't want to let go of. 

His hands were on my waist, his breath warm against my lips, and for a moment, the storm that was my life faded into nothing. 

I let myself feel it, feel him. The rawness, need, the silent confession laced in every soft drag of his mouth against mine.

I shut my eyes, allowing myself to enjoy the moment when he door creaked open.

I tensed instantly and Dristan stiffened too, our kiss pausing mid-breath.

"I swear, Dristan, if you forgot we have that—"

Kai.

My eyes flew open just as his voice cut off and I turned my head toward the door. He stood frozen on the threshold, a folder in one hand, lips parted like he'd just walked in on something he wasn't supposed to see.

Which… he had.
