Chapter 111: Sparks Ignite II
That first touch of their lips had instantly stolen Amelia’s breath. She gasped against his lips but was quickly captured again when Matteo deepened the kiss.
It started out slow― his movements were hesitant, waiting for Amelia to push him away or reject his advances. Perhaps he should’ve asked, maybe he should’ve waited for her to get more comfortable with him, but he had one too many beers under Aiden’s influence and that little source of alcohol was enough to fuel his courage.
When Amelia reached forward, Matteo thought that she was going to push him away, and with all due right. However, contrary to what he thought, her fingers tightened against the fabric of his winter coat, pulling him forward instead so that whatever remaining distance between them was instantly lost.
This small act threw all reasoning out the window. Matteo’s hands moved down from her chin to her shoulders, then slowly made their way to her waist, resting on the curve of her hip. He tugged her gently closer towards him, holding her firmly in place when she gasped in surprise.
On the other hand, Amelia felt as though her entire body was on fire. It was as though an explosion had rang through her brain, causing her sight to grow fuzzy and her body to burn with a lustful sensation.
Matteo Montgomery had always been a sight for sore eyes, but never had she thought of him like this― like a carnal sin that was begging to be committed.
When they finally tore apart, Amelia looked up at him, her eyes glazed over. His were, too, filled with unspoken desire, his cheeks red, and his lips slightly swollen and pink from their intense make out.
"You..." she said, her voice hoarse and filled with want, "Matteo, you’re my superior at work. This... This isn’t―"
"And we’re also engaged," he softly reminded. Matteo leaned forward, pressing a kiss on her cheek, then her jaw, then her neck.
