377 Never go back

A kiss was something Zoren had never experienced, nor was it something he ever thought he would want until today. When her lips touched his check, his brows rose and his eyes widened. His heart slowed, though every beat echoed in his ears,

Pulling his head back to look at her, his eyes softened with affection. Excitement, gratitude, and satisfaction bubbled in his heart, almost making him feel ticklish.

Zoren placed one hand on her cheek and the other on her back. He pulled her closer, his gaze falling on those pinkish lips pressed into a thin line. Slowly, he leaned in, tilting his head slightly.

Penny, on the other hand, held her breath until her neck tensed. She pinched his back tightly, watching his face draw closer… and closer until his breath brushed her upper lip. Her heart drummed against her chest, almost making her want to run away to calm it down. However, her body wouldn’t listen to her, and she shut her eyes.

Two lifetimes, and only now would she be kissed by a man.

She was curious. She was… nervous and excited.

This would be her first kiss, and it would be shared with the only man who made her heart beat so dramatically.

Why else would she hesitate?

As her body relaxed, giving in to the moment, she waited for his lips to touch hers. But just as their lips were almost touching, Penny flinched at the loud and sharp sounds that shattered the quiet air.

Grrr…

CLANG!

THUD!

SHHHK!

Some furniture and appliances fell on the floor after Renny’s low growl. The black panther aggressively jumped from the corner to the entrance of the kitchen.

Thud!

brow.

Turning their heads toward the entrance, Penny’s mouth fell open while Zoren arched

There, standing by the entrance, was Butler Hubert with Old Mrs. Pierson at his side. Butler Hubert had accidentally dropped the bunch of packed lunches he was carrying. Meanwhile, Renny stood before them, letting out a low growl as if warning them to back off and not interrupt their parents for now. Even Chunchun was hissing beside Renny.

Little did the adorable cats know, they had disturbed the scene more than the unannounced guests did. After all, Butler Hubert and Old Mrs. Plerson would have quietly walked aw pretended they saw nothing.

Hubert. Even though those two knew they were married, Penny felt like she had just been caught red–handed. As for Zoren, his arched brow raised a little more.

His hold on her remained, sensing her growing panic. So, he took a step forward and blocked her from Butler Hubert and Old Mrs. Pierson’s line of sight. Lowering his head more, he leaned in and seized the opportunity regardless of the interruption.

With his swift and unhesitating action, Penny froze the very second his lips landed on hers. Her breath hitched, her pupils dilating in shock. And for a moment, her mind went completely blank.

Old Mrs. Pierson: “…”

Butler Hubert: “…” Content (C) Nôv/elDra/ma.Org.

The two of them also held their breaths, wide–eyed.

“Butler Hu,” Old Mrs. Pierson whispered, tugging on his clothes. “Get out.”

Butler Hubert blinked and turned around. “Yes, Old Madam,” he said, assisting Old Mrs. Pierson to leave the lovely couple. From what he heard, Penny and Zoren were already trying, and it was always a honeymoon when they were together. They didn’t want to interrupt the couple who were working hard so carly in the morning.

As for Renny and Chunchun, they proudly walked the two out and guarded the entrance. They genuinely believed they hadn’t interrupted their parents and shooed Butler Hubert and Old Mrs. Pierson away.

Meanwhile….

Your Grandma!!”

Penny’s eyes remained wide open as her heart started skipping beats. His lips on hers felt weird. Although the texture of his lips was soft with a tinge of firmness, they tasted bittersweet. Her entire body simply froze, leaving her unable to do anything but slowly close her eyes.

‘So, this is a kiss?‘ she wondered, both their lips unmoving while pressed against each other. Butterflies fluttered in her heart as if something was crawling around it.

For some reason, her body started burning up as she felt this strange sensation she had never felt before. It was like something peeked out from the hidden chest in her heart. It was telling her this was not even the tip of the iceberg. There was plenty more to explore than a long smack.

The feeling was mutual with him.

Slowly, Zoren pulled his head just inches back, making her eyes crack open. He stretched his thumb and reached for the side of her lips. Though inexperienced, his natural instinct demanded more. Another part of him told him to stop there, warning him if he listened to his primal instinct, he would never go back. He would never be the same, and another kiss would leave him hooked.

“Butler Hubert and your grandma…” she whispered with quivering lips, barely regaining her

voice.

377 Never go back

That wasn’t her concern! However, Penny ended up gulping as his face was still a palm’s length away from hers.

“Still…” she trailed off, biting her lip. “… not enough?”

His eyelids drooped as his coarse voice slipped past his parted lips. “I feel like I did it wrong.” The moment those words rolled off his tongue, he wrapped his arm around her waist tighter and pulled her closer until her body was pressing against him. He held her head still, leaned in, and claimed her lips once again. This time, he pressed his lips against hers deeper.

Deep lines appeared on her brows as she took a deep breath the second their lips touched for the second time. Unlike the reserved first kiss, the second one felt more demanding and curious. Before she knew it, his mouth started moving, and she felt his tongue slip in between hers.

For a second, Penny tensed up because she never thought another person’s tongue would ever explore her mouth. But after another second, she drew another deep breath and wrapped her arms around his neck. D

Everything else faded away.

Welcum to the story, Libido. lol
