Chapter 46

• Sophie’s POV
• I closed the door behind me with a soft click, feeling my heart thump against my ribcage. The moment the latch clicked into place, I leaned against it, closing my eyes for a few seconds. My lips still tingled from Ethan’s kiss, that searing kiss that had caught me off guard.
• I could still taste him, the wine and something sweeter, something him. The memory of it—his hands on me, the way he kissed me so deeply, so urgently—kept replaying in my head, making my pulse quicken. I couldn't help but smile, my heart fluttering in my chest like a thousand little wings.
