Chapter 273 - Magical (2/2)

His guilt, his internal conflicts were non-existent at this point for now he knew who she was. Despite the doubts in his mind, he knew that it was her.

Han Mei. The person who never got off his mind even after all these years.

She was right in front of him. Not like a dream. Not like a fantasy. This time….she was so real.

He could sense her sweet scent lingering around him. As one of her arms wrapped around his neck, her fingers stroked his skin.

She was right in front of him. Not just as friends but with every recognition of what they meant to each other.

He closed his eyes and in one swift move, he took control of her lips yet again, kissing her roughly as his tongue slid inside her mouth.

She closed her eyes as he angled her head to a better position, taking more access to her mouth. Their bodies leaning against each other which she felt glad about. She was glad that his powerful body was supporting hers effortlessly for she was weak in her knees.

Would he let go of her, she was sure to drop down.

The realization came late but at least it did.

She tried to respond to his kiss with equal intensity but there was something different about the way he kissed her today, without any restraints, without any shackles.

Something magical.

They parted after a long hard kiss that rendered both of them breathless. She leaned her head against his chest but he stepped back from her.

She lost balance but before she could fall, he pulled her up in his arms in a Princess carry and walked towards the couch.

As he took a seat, she settled on his lap with her arms around his neck and her face still buried in his chest. Her breathing was still irregular.

His fingers grazed on her back, in gentle motions, ”How?” He asked after a moment of silence.

She tilted her head to look at him.

Eyes covered in a layer of sheen, face flushed, swollen lips….she incited him beyond anything. His gaze darkened as he bit her lips before kissing her gently.

She leaned closer to him, tightly wounding her arms around his neck.

''How could it happen?” No matter how he thought about it, the idea of everything that she told him sounded very far-fetched.

Had it not been her who was telling him about this, he would have passed it off as a joke without a moment's delay.
