Chapter 325 - 322: Ligeti’s Ball IV

Serena glared at Geoffrey after the two left "Why did you lie to ave her a mischievous smile while his eyes were full of fondness On any other man it would look almost boyish, but on Geoffrey, it almost looked seductive It made his charm and pheromones exude in waves

Serena, disarmed with his appeal, had to look away She felt the heat on her cheeks and her heart started beating fast Briefly, she wondered, since when did Geoffrey elicit that kind of reaction fro her differently He has always been a gentle her And though how hard she tried to deny it, she knew that a part of her felt thrilled

Then, as if to test her further, he raised his gloved hand to gently caress the mark he left on her skin He leaned forward to whisper on her ear, "Do not be angry, Serena I did not see it properly earlier in the car as it was dark When I noticed, I did not ive me?"

Serena alh Geoffrey was her intended, she loves Charlton Shetheir child They had a promise She turned to face Geoffrey to answer hiain, but as their eyes reeak He was too near that she could see every h bridged nose, his deep blue eyes, his lips that just kissed her earlier Yes, those lips She can vividly recall how he kissed her, the way he kisses her which made her feel like he would devour her She tried to take a step back

Geoffrey can see everypink, her chest as if heaving, her breath turning a bit shallow And as she tried to take a step back, she almost tumbled, and so, he wrapped his arm around her so that his hand was on her lower back He pulled her closer to hi

Serena had to use her hands to put soo" She said weakly

"Not until you say you forgive

Serena blushed and shook her head, as if waking herself from this madness

"No?" Geoffrey asked as he pressed her closer

Co back to her senses, she realized where they were and what he was doing Yet, still weak froive you, just please, don't do that again"

Geoffrey s her waist along the way "Alright But ht fall"

Serena with some space between them now can finally breathe normally She decided not to pursue the matter about the hickey anymore Anyway, since he let Charlton dance with her and she felt a bit guilty about that, all can be forgiven

Geoffrey grinned as he asked for her hand Really, one only has to kno to play the carrot game with Serena and she would be very pliant

Anyhow, though Serena only said she will dance the Quadrille and the Waltz, since the grand march was easier to dance, they decided to join in
