Never go back

A kiss was something Zoren had never experienced, nor was it something he ever thought he would want until today. When her lips touched his cheek, his brows rose and his eyes widened. His heart slowed, though every beat echoed in his ears.

Pulling his head back to look at her, his eyes softened with affection. Excitement, gratitude, and satisfaction bubbled in his heart, almost making him feel ticklish.

Zoren placed one hand on her cheek and the other on her back. He pulled her closer, his gaze falling on those pinkish lips pressed into a thin line. Slowly, he leaned in, tilting his head slightly.

Penny, on the other hand, held her breath until her neck tensed. She pinched his back tightly, watching his face draw closer... and closer until his breath brushed her upper lip. Her heart drummed against her chest, almost making her want to run away to calm it down. However, her body wouldn't listen to her, and she shut her eyes.
