Lily Shaw's rare initiative made the corners of Aiden Grant's eyes flush red. To show how worked up he was inside, he answered her with an even fiercer kiss, as if he wanted to swallow her lips and tongue whole.
Lily let him kiss her, indulging him, but indulgence had its limit. When she felt like her lips were about to swell, she loosened the hands around his neck, wanting to push him away, only for one of his big hands to clamp down and hold her in place as he kissed her even more heatedly.
By the time Aiden finally pried himself away from her lips, Lily only felt a burning sting there. She didn't even need a mirror to know her lips must be swollen and awful.
All because that culprit was staring fixedly at her mouth with eyes full of remorse yet blatant pride. That scorching gaze made her look away without thinking; she suddenly didn't dare meet his eyes.
