Heartstrings on Fire (Agnes and Jared) novel Chapter 717

Agnes had just about given up by the end of it all.

She was twirling in rhythm with Jared's movements.

Music seemed to be wafting around their ears.

Couples were dancing and kissing all around them.

Perhaps it was the cover of darkness that masked her discomfort and shyness.

Or maybe it was the fact that everyone else was kissing, that not participating would make her the odd one out.

In the end, Agnes stopped resisting, even forgetting to push him away.

She even began to enjoy it.

Jared still smelled as familiar as ever.

His scent was clean and sharp, like an intoxicating whiff of fresh lavender.

Agnes wasn't sure if it was due to lack of oxygen, or perhaps she was dizzy from all the dancing, her mind seemed to be blank.

She felt as if she was lying in a vast field of flowers in Provence.

The sun was scorching, warming her entire body.

She didn't know how much time had passed.

The dance ended, and the lights in the grand hall were switched on once again.

Agnes slowly came back to her senses.

Jared's lips were still on hers.

Their bodies were almost touching.

Agnes resisted slightly, then Jared reluctantly parted from her lips.

Her taste was simply divine.

Ever since that night, Jared admitted, he had been reminiscing non-stop, every minute, every second.

No matter what Agnes looked like in front of him.

Whether she was dressed up in fiery red or looking natural and innocent, she always managed to steal his attention, making him want to get closer, yearning for a touch.

At that moment, her cheeks were flushed.
