Chapter 66: Making Out (R-18)
The dining table sat cluttered with breakfast leftovers—pancake crumbs, sticky syrup smudges, and a half-empty bowl of strawberries glowing in the sunlight. Aeri and I were pressed close, side by side, our lips locked in a kiss that tasted like sweetness and warmth.
Her mouth moved soft against mine, a slow dance of breath and heat, and I felt her hand slide up, her fingers cupping my cheek, gentle but sure.
I pulled back just enough to see her face, her eyes still closed, lashes dark against her flushed cheeks.
A grin tugged at my lips. "You’re not resisting today? Or showing hesitation?" I teased, keeping my voice low, playful.
Her eyes fluttered open, and her face went pink, a blush spreading fast. "D-don’t tease me..." she stammered, her hand dropping to my shoulder like she was caught off guard. Her blue one-piece dress clung to her, the fabric slipping a little to show the curve of her collarbone, and I couldn’t look away.
"Teasing is half the fun," I said and grabbed her hand, quick and pulled her toward me.
In one move, I lifted her up, her legs swinging as I pulled her onto my lap. She straddled me, her thighs settling warm against mine, the chair creaking under our weight.
"Ahh—Ezra!" she gasped, her hands grabbing my shoulders for balance, her voice a mix of surprise and laughter. But I didn’t let her finish—just leaned in and kissed her again, hard and deep, swallowing her words.
Her lips parted, kissing me back, and the heat between us flared like a spark hitting dry grass.
