A Life Beyond Limits novel Chapter 53

Jack couldn't resist holding Bella in his arms. Surrounded by her sweet fragrance, he instinctively leaned in and kissed her. The softness and sweetness of her lips, combined with her delicate scent, stirred something within him.

Could this be the taste of love?

Bella let out a soft, involuntary murmur as she felt Jack's warmth. A wave of indescribable emotion swept over her. Her body relaxed, and she leaned completely into his embrace, allowing him to hold her as he pleased.

She couldn't pinpoint when it had started, but she often fantasized about being in Jack's arms.

Meanwhile, Jack was immersed in this newfound sensation of love. His mind began to wander.

From the way Bella was acting, was she genuinely falling for him? If she wasn't, how could she play the role so convincingly? If this was all an act, it was far too meticulous.

"What are you thinking about?" Bella suddenly looked up and asked softly.

Jack shook his head. "Nothing."

Although he felt deeply drawn to Bella, part of him couldn't help but worry—was this all just a trap wrapped in tenderness?

Bella smiled sweetly, her eyes twinkling. "Big Bun, do you like me?"

Jack's heart skipped a beat. He knew he couldn't dodge the question. With sincerity in his eyes, he answered slowly, "Yes, I do."

Bella's eyes lit up, and a radiant joy spread across her face. Her heart felt as though it had been drenched in honey.

Still holding her close, Jack said, "By the way, did you know there's a basketball game between the School of Finance and the School of Music in a few days?"
