Lurking Forces (Ⅶ)

Perhaps because he had stood in the open for too long, Huo Shaoheng's voice was slightly hoarse like someone had taken a soft and fluffy goose feather to tickle her ear, but it made his voice even more attractive. She tingled from her ears to her neck, and her heart fluttered.

However, as Huo Shaoheng spoke, Gu Nianzhi managed to snap back to reality.

Her face was flushed, and she bit tightly on her lower lip as if her life depended on it. Her neck was stiff, but she willed herself not to make any noise even though she wanted to...

However, her reason was telling her that what she was doing was wrong. She had to hang in there. She wasn't prepared to accept Huo Shaoheng again, so she shouldn't be so close to him.

Seeing her like this, Huo Shaoheng smiled and chuckled softly. He placed one hand around her waist, and the other hand went to her chin, supporting it. His thumb went to her lips, and he began caressing her lower lip.
