Chapter 185: Chapter 185 Kiss

Billi, after her initial stumble, managed to finish without further incident.

Lara, still red-faced from her fall, completed the course with a determined look.

Mara, despite her setback on the beam, finished the course, her face set in a determined frown.

The crowd cheered loudly, their excitement palpable as the females raced through the course.

One by one, the other females completed the course, some more gracefully than others.

Sandra, despite her best efforts, finished second, her anger barely concealed as she glared at Kyra.

"Great job, everyone!" the anchor said. "Now, let’s move on to the next game: the dance-off! Each of you will have a chance to showcase your dancing skills. The judges will be looking for creativity, rhythm, and elegance."

The females took their places on the stage, the paino music began to play, and the dance-off started. Kyra, drawing on her earlier performance, moved with a fluid grace.

Sandra, determined to outshine her rival, danced with fierce intensity, her movements sharp and powerful.

The crowd watched in awe as the females showcased their skills, each trying to outdo the other. The judges took notes on yellow papers, their expressions serious as they evaluated each performance.

When the dance-off ended, the anchor stepped forward, "Fantastic performances, everyone! The judges will now deliberate and announce the winner of all rounds."

The tension was high as the judges conferred, their voices low and serious. After a few moments, they handed their decision to the anchor, who stepped forward to address the crowd.

"So before we announce the winner, our judges want to share their thoughts," the anchor said, turning to the priest of the town.

The priest stepped forward In stage, his wise eyes scanning the group of females. "First of all, thank you all for joining our beauty contest," he began. "Let’s start by discussing round 1. In this level, without any rules, each of you had to show your beauty. I appreciated every performance. But remember, beauty is not only defined by your face or body; it is also about your spirit."

He paused, allowing his words to sink in before continuing, "Kyra, for instance, showed us that beauty can be expressed through grace and elegance. Her performance was not just about her appearance but about the way she carried herself, the way she connected with the audience. That is true beauty."

The priest looked over at Kyra, who blushed slightly under his gaze.

"Mara, you showed confidence and flair in your performance, and that too is a form of beauty. Confidence is attractive and inspiring."

He turned his attention to Sandra. "Sandra, you have a powerful presence on stage. Your determination and intensity are commendable. However, remember that true beauty also encompasses kindness and respect for others."

The priest then addressed the other females. "Each of you brought something unique to the stage. Remember that beauty is multifaceted. It’s in your confidence, your spirit, and your ability to inspire those around you."

The healer, Angelo came forward in stage next and spoke. "In round 2, the food-eating contest, we saw a different side of you all. It was about endurance and determination. Some of you struggled, but you didn’t give up. That resilience is a part of beauty too."

He glanced at Lara, who had difficulty with the balancing beam but pushed through to finish the course. "Lara, your perseverance was admirable. You didn’t let a setback stop you, and that’s a valuable lesson for everyone."

Finally, the leader of the town stepped forward. "As we move to round 3, game’s and the dance-off, we witnessed creativity and rhythm. Kyra, your performance stood out not just because of your dance skills and your agility when you played game, but because of the way you engaged with the audience. You made everyone feel a part of your performance."

He looked around at the assembled females. "Each of you has shown us different aspects of beauty today. Remember, this contest is not just about winning. It’s about celebrating who you are."

The anchor spoke. "Thank you to our judges for their insightful comments. Now, after a short break, we will announce the winner of our beauty contest. Stay tuned!"

During the break, Kyra carefully climbed down the stage, Just as she was about to lose her balance, she felt strong arms wrap around her waist. She was suddenly lifted into the air, cradled securely in Damon’s arms.

"Careful," Damon said, his voice a low murmur near her ear. "Wouldn’t want you to trip."

Kyra looked up, her eyes wide with surprise and a hint of embarrassment. "Thank you, Damon," she whispered, her cheeks flushing slightly. She could feel the warmth of his body and the steady rhythm of his heartbeat against her.

As Damon carried Kyra to a quieter corner, he noticed several males trying to approach her, their eyes filled with admiration and curiosity. His expression hardened instantly.

His eyes glared sharply at them, a clear warning in his gaze that made them hesitate and back off. To further emphasize his protective stance, Damon pulled Kyra even closer against his chest, his grip tightening possessively.

Kyra rested her head against Damon’s chest, taking deep breaths.

She was tired after all the effort, and Damon’s scent was simply too calming to resist.

Damon carried Kyra to a quiet corner and spotted a large rock. He sat down with her still in his arms, feeling a sense of peace wash over him. Only he knew how hard it had been to control himself from ripping apart each male who dared to gaze at Kyra with longing eyes.

The tension within him finally reached its peak. He couldn’t bear it any longer. Suddenly, he held the back of Kyra’s head, gently but firmly guiding her to sit up straight in his lap. She looked at him, confused, her eyes wide with surprise.

"Damon, what—" she began, but her words were cut off.

Before she could register what was happening, Damon leaned in, and his lips met hers in a kiss. The world seemed to stop around them. Kyra’s eyes widened as she melted into the kiss, the intensity of Damon’s emotions overwhelming her.
