Chapter 84: Kissing
Xavier couldn’t help but chuckle inwardly as he watched her freeze, her eyes locked onto his. With warmth in his eyes, he let his gaze linger on her face for a moment before gently placing a tender kiss on her lips.
Before she could react, his kiss had covered her lips domineeringly. It was clearly icy lips without the slightest warmth but akin to sparks burning a prairie. It sparked a pool of heat around Iris’ lips. The alternation between ice and fire intertwined between their lips and teeth. The tip of his icy tongue captured every trace of sweetness in her mouth domineeringly as it tempted her stiff tongue to entangle with him.
The kiss seemed to have vented his inner feelings...
When he felt her breathing quicken, her little hand pushed him away trying to gasp the air. Every nerve in his arms tensed as he gradually ended the kiss. He pulled her close, hugging her tightly. Lowering his head, he nestled his face in her neck, inhaling her scent and feeling the constant warmth of her body. It felt as though her warmth was continuously infusing his cold soul through their contact.
"This is my sincere answer to you, Iris Gray," Xavier whispered near her ear, his voice exuding gentleness. He had never thanked God for his peaceful life in this realm or his unmatched power. Yet, at that moment, he felt an overwhelming gratitude that fate had brought this woman to his side.
He didn’t know if this girl was the one who could fill the void in his heart after centuries. Still, for the time being, he didn’t want to hear the words ’fake relationship’ between them anymore. He simply wanted their relationship to be honest. If one day it turns out that this girl is not the one he was waiting for, he won’t care. He’ll deal with it later.
...
Iris’s mind went blank as though an invisible black hole had devoured all her thoughts. She straightened her back, subtly creating distance between them. She could feel as if all the blood in her body was about to rush straight to her face. Even her delicate facial features could not hide the shock on her face.
The kiss, the hug, the scent... Everything about him now overwhelmed her mind, rendering her incapable of uttering a single word. She lowered her head, attempting to hide her blushing face from his lingering, tender gaze.
