Chapter 119

Richie kissed Leah again, this time deeper and slower. His lips moved softly against hers, like he was taking his time to savor every second. Leah felt a shiver run through her body. Her arms wrapped around his neck, pulling him closer, and she felt safe there, like nothing could break them apart.
Richie pulled back just a little, his forehead resting against hers as he caught his breath. His voice was low, almost a whisper. "Are you sure about this, babe?"
Leah's eyes met his, her heart racing. She nodded, biting her lip. “Yes, Richie. Please,” she whispered.
