Sam asked it without meaning it, while Quinn paused for a moment before leaning in to give him a peck on the cheek.
That more or less counted as a reward, after all.
Sam, however, stiffened as he turned toward her, and she was clearly still thrilled.
She blushed when she saw the look in Sam's eyes, realizing that she was doing it too naturally.
But she really thought he was amazing just then and felt the impulse to kiss him…
She certainly felt a little uncomfortable as Sam stared fixedly at her—he never did like her getting close…
"Mmmph."
She suddenly widened her eyes nonetheless as she stared at Sam in disbelief.
His face was inches away as he kissed her ferociously and urgently.
"Mmmph…"
She then felt him lifting her, putting her on his lap to better hold the back of her head and kiss her even deeper. She felt all her senses converging between their tongue and lips, and all she could smell was his scent—his male hormones that she could not help getting engrossed in…
There was no telling how long had passed after that.
When she almost felt like she would run out of breath, Sam finally released her.
Her lips were red and swollen, while he rasped with an indescribable ambiguity, "Now that's a reward, Quinn."
Quinn flushed as their eyes met.
Then, Sam had started to lean in again when his phone suddenly started ringing.
"Someone's calling you," Quinn told him.
