Goodbye, My Love

Feeling his gentle caress, Loraine looked up at him. Marco’s hand retreated quickly, an attempt to seem nonchalant that failed to escape her notice.

To his surprise, she wasn’t annoyed. Instead, she smiled warmly, reaching up to grasp his shoulder before planting a playful kiss on his cheek.

She leaned in to whisper, “You’re just like the Golden Retriever we have at home.”

Marco’s brow furrowed in confusion. “Huh?”

Loraine’s smile grew knowing, her eyes twinkling with affectionate amusement. The resemblance was undeniable now.

In her eyes, Marco was akin to their lovable Golden Retriever, foolishly yet earnestly seeking her affection, bumbling but genuine in his desire to please.

“It’s nothing,” she said, her voice light and teasing. “Consider it a reward for comforting me, Mr. Bryant.” Her tone was playful.

Was that a reward?

Marco’s eyes widened in surprise, his gaze lowering, not quite believing what had just happened.

Loraine, still clutching his shoulder, wore a mischievous and radiant smile. In that moment, he found himself entranced by her clear, bright eyes and charming smile. Property © of NôvelDrama.Org.

He caught himself wondering if more compliments would win him more of such unexpected rewards.

His eyes flickered to her lips, his throat dry, his hand inching toward her waist almost of its own accord.

Loraine, sensing his intentions, felt a thrill of apprehension.

She had blushed after the kiss, feeling both bold and bashful. How had she found the courage for such an intimate gesture?

But she just couldn’t fight the urge to kiss him.

Still blushing, she tried to push Marco away gently, whispering softly,

“Alright, you can let go now.”

However, it seemed she had ignited something in him that wouldn’t be so easily extinguished.

With a sudden but gentle force, Marco wrapped his arm around Loraine’s waist, drawing her close into his embrace. Before Loraine could even react, she felt his warm breath surrounding her, engulfing her senses entirely.

His lips met hers in a kiss that was both passionate and tender, exploring and relishing each sensation. Gradually, his caress grew more intense, delving deeper and seeking her response, leading them both into an intimate connection they had never experienced before.

Caught off guard, Loraine clung to him, tilting her head to meet his kiss.

With each moment, the kiss deepened, growing more intense, neither willing to give an inch. What had begun as a playful gesture had turned into something more powerful, more consuming.

Eventually, Loraine surrendered, her resistance melting away in his arms.
