Chapter 136-The Acceptance I Didn’t Expect
Helanie:
His lips were soft and comforting. I could have pulled away, but in that moment, I just couldn’t. I enjoyed how good they tasted— a hint of cherry with a subtle touch of honey. His lips felt like a journey to heaven. I smiled against his lips as he pressed his mouth harder on mine, deepening the kiss.
However, I didn’t participate much, which made him slowly pull back. He lingered close, his breath warm on my face, until a snapping twig interrupted his next attempt to kiss me.
I got so scared that I instinctively pulled away, breaking the cozy blanket circle and looking in the direction of the noise.
"Hey, easy! Maybe it was just a squirrel," he laughed, raising his arm to reassure me.
"Maybe we should check. What if someone saw us?" I asked, still shaken, dismissing the comfort of his warm embrace.
"For your peace of mind, I’ll check it out," he said, getting up. Before leaving, he wrapped the blanket snugly around me.
The way he took care of me felt almost unreal. I wasn’t used to such gentle gestures anymore.
After a few minutes, he returned. He must have been freezing in just his white long-sleeve shirt and black pants, which explained why he had wrapped himself in a blanket earlier.
