Chapter 19 Strange Intimacy

• (DAPHNE)
• I don’t know what came over me. One second I was thinking of how I wanted to wipe the smug smile off Asher’s face, then I got lost in the movement of his lips, how they looked and what they would taste and feel like. And the next thing I knew, I kissed him.
• To call it kissing would be a stretch. It was a chaste kiss. Quick, then out. Something to shut him up. It blew my mind that Asher reacted by deepening the kiss? As I was about to move away, the feeling of the palm of his hand at the nape of my neck made me go still.
