Reward

Abi gasped and jolted backwards but Alex's hand was already on her nape holding her in place. He was smiling, showing her that mischievous smile of his. There was no sign of the previous weakness she had seen in him and he was acting like nothing major happened.

Clearing her throat, Abi blinked and tried to think of something to say to explain the sneaky kiss she was about to steal.

"I was just trying to… give you a peck as thanks for saving me," she explained.

Alex fell quiet for a while as he surveyed her face, but in the next second, he stared at her lips and swallowed.

"That's right. I just saved you with everything I had. You have to reward me, little lamb. After all, without me, you'd be dead by now," he uttered, his breath hastening as if he couldn't wait anymore for her to kiss him. "You should be more generous and give me more than just a peck," he added as his finger traced her luscious lips.
