Chapter 148

• It felt as if I had stepped into some kind of enchanted haze. With every stroke of Kenzo’s tongue against mine, I sank deeper into a blissful trance, losing myself in the moment. The world around me faded, the shouts and jubilant cheers of those surrounding us reduced to a distant hum. His arms tightened around me, pulling me closer with every ragged breath, his chest muscles flexing against my body.
• But as the chanting grew louder, reality came rushing back. My surroundings sharpened, and a sudden wave of heat flushed my face, flooding me with embarrassment. A surge of strength shot through me, compelling me to push Kenzo away. The force of it broke our kiss, and he leaned back, amusement dancing in his eyes as he took in my flustered expression. A grin stretched across his lips.
• “You only make me want you more,” he murmured against my lips before placing a lingering peck there, then finally letting me go.
