Chapter 56: wanna kiss again?

Chapter 56: wanna kiss again?

Her mouth was warm, a tantalizing blend of mint and a faint earthy tang that lingered on his lips, as though the very essence of the land had mingled with her kiss.

When she sighed into it, a sound that was both reluctant and eager, her hands slid up his chest, the movement smooth and deliberate, before settling on his shoulders, fingers curling into the fabric of his tunic.

The contact sent a thrill through him, grounding him in the moment.

His grip on her hands tightened, the heat of her body pressing against him as if to close the last remnants of distance between them. He pulled her closer, his heartbeat quickening, every breath syncing with hers.

The kiss deepened, slow and measured, as though they were both savoring the act, letting it unfold at its own pace.

There was no rush, no urgency, only the quiet, pulsing rhythm of their lips moving together in a shared, unspoken understanding.

It was as if the world around them had fallen silent, the sounds of the animals, the rustle of the wind, all fading into the background.

It lingered, the kiss lingering like the taste of honey and fire on his lips, sweet yet tempered by the heat that had sparked between them earlier.

The warmth of it spread through him, a slow burn that seemed to settle deep within his chest.

When he finally pulled back, it was with a sense of reluctant satisfaction, his forehead brushing against hers for a fleeting moment, a silent acknowledgment of the connection they had just shared.

A grin tugged at his lips, playful and satisfied, as he watched her eyes flutter open.

They were soft at first, heavy with the remnants of their kiss, but there was something in her gaze, sharp, defiant, challenging—, that refused to be tamed.

She blinked up at him, as though trying to shake off the daze, but there was no hiding the flush on her cheeks or the way her chest rose and fell, still trying to catch up with the intensity of the moment.

Alex stepped back from the kiss, slowly, as if savoring the last flickers of heat still lingering on his lips.

A devious smile tugged at his mouth, curling at the corners like smoke rising from embers, lazy, confident, and impossible to ignore.

His gaze never left her, eyes gleaming with a wicked satisfaction that dared her to say she hadn’t felt it too.

Inolda stood frozen for a heartbeat, breath shallow.

Her usually poised expression had cracked open, revealing something raw beneath the sarcasm.

Her pink curls framed her face in a tousled halo, strands catching the golden threads of sunlight like a crown.

Color bloomed high on her cheeks, a flushed rose that crept toward her ears and down her neck.

"No effect indeed," he said, his voice low and taunting, each syllable oozing smug satisfaction.

The smirk that accompanied it wasn’t just playful, it was a challenge, daring her to contradict him, to fight back the truth that had just passed between them.

He leaned in just a fraction, enough to make the space between them charged again, his eyes locked on hers with that same teasing gleam.

Inolda’s cheeks flared a sudden, vivid red, the color rushing up like a tide, bold against the cool, composed mask she usually wore.

It clashed with her dry demeanor, cracked it like sunlight breaking through storm clouds.

Shut up," she snapped, the words tumbling out with practiced sharpness, but lacking their usual sting.

Her eyes performed a theatrical roll, exaggerated enough to sell the annoyance, but too practiced to fully mask the flutter behind it.

The edge was there, but dulled, softened by something she wasn’t ready to admit.

She turned her head abruptly, pretending to focus on the two-horned horses grazing nearby.

Their dual horns caught the light as they chewed methodically, oblivious to the charged moment behind them.

Inolda’s gaze stayed fixed, almost too fixed, as though the animals held the secret to avoiding Alex’s smug grin.

But the blush that crept down her neck gave her away, blooming beneath her collar and betraying the truth her voice tried to deny.

Alex’s grin stretched wider, a slow, wolfish thing brimming with satisfaction as he soaked in the sight of her retreating composure.

The way her blush lingered, the way her posture faltered, just for a heartbeat, was enough to make his chest tighten with amusement and something else, quieter and more dangerous.

The air between them pulsed with residual heat, the kiss hanging in the silence like a spark still mid-fall.

Something had shifted, unspoken, undeniable, and neither of them seemed quite ready to name it.

Then came the sound.

A low, mechanical hum buzzed through the compound, subtle at first, like a far-off hornet’s drone.

It grew steadily louder, cutting through the warmth of the moment.

The sliding gate of Elaris Hold rumbled to life, the aged mechanism stirring with a whirring breath, echoing faintly against the stone walls.

With a final hiss of exertion, it glided closed with a soft, metallic clack that rang louder than it should have.

The sound rippled through the compound, echoing off timber beams and stone walls like a whispered announcement: they were gone.

A subtle marker, yet final, anchoring the reality of Jusin and Griesla’s departure in the quiet that followed.

The animal side of Elaris Hold seemed to shift in response.

A hush draped itself over the compound

Alex’s gaze slid back to Inolda, the corner of his mouth lifting into a suggestive curl.

The gleam in his eyes shifted, no longer just playful, but smoldering with mischief and something heavier beneath.

He stepped forward just slightly, the golden light catching in his tousled hair, shadowing his cheekbones and sharpening the angles of his grin.

"I guess we’re really alone now," he said, his voice dipping into a velvet murmur, smooth and low

He tilted his head as he watched her, studying every flicker of her expression, the faint arch of her brow, the way her lips parted just slightly.
