"What's the matter? What is going on?" Maggie's eyes rolled to the left and then to the right, but she didn't dare to move her face in fear of being found out by the people who were watching them secretly.
Then all of a sudden, Edgar held Maggie's head in his hands and pulled her towards him. Before Maggie could react, Edgar's lips covered her mouth as she melted into his arms.
Maggie's pupils dilated and her eyes blinked involuntarily. Almost instantaneously, her brain was electrified, pumping fresh rivers of adrenaline into her veins. His kiss caused heat to engulf her body and she allowed it.
Edgar squinted his eyes to the sides and then to the back of Maggie's head and his eyes suddenly turned cold, as if hell had frozen over. His plan was to kiss Maggie so he could look for the people behind her without letting them know what his real intention was. But now he found himself completely immersed in the kiss.
The taste of Maggie's kiss reminded him of milk and honey. Finding it hard to control his desires, he allowed his tongue to go further inside her mouth and taste every part of it.
Maggie closed her eyes and allowed Edgar to do so as he pleased. She even acted back to Edger's move. His warm lips were gently, but firm. Maggie wondered if this was how everyone felt when they were kissing as she merely associated this feeling with being drunk. It felt as though she had finished a whole bottle of wine by herself and each cell of her body had been ignited. She had lost all control over herself and given Edgar full rein to plunder her mind, body and soul.
"Uh-huh..." The caress of his lips were softer than she could have imagined and she opened her mouth with a low moan.
Maggie's voice brought Edgar back to his senses. He immediately pulled apart and looked at Maggie as she gasped for air. He could feel her face flushing because of the heat, even though it was still dark at that moment.
"Let's go," Edgar said calmly, pulling Maggie's hand and walking ahead.
Maggie allowed Edgar to take full control over her body. Her mind was still reeling in from what had just happened. With a shy expression on her face, she followed Edgar and walked behind him silently. In everyone else's eyes, Maggie and Edgar were just ordinary young lovers.
The people who were secretly spying on them teased each other for a while and then stopped following them. Edgar's plan worked better than he had imagined. Apparently, they actually believed that Maggie and Edgar were just lover on their vacation.
After Edgar was convinced that it was safe, he slowed down, but Maggie's hands were still in his. "About what happened there, umm... it was just an accident..." Edgar said with a calm expression, feigning nonchalance.
His voice broke Maggie's trance and she raised her head to look at him. In her eyes was Edgar's face, gentle and strong. He might have not been as handsome as Brian Long, but Maggie sensed a special charm from him that only existed in army men. He gave off that aura without even realizing it. Maggie was clearly attracted to him, even though she didn't even know it yet.
"We were being followed by secret operatives and it was the only way to erase their suspicions," Edgar explained and he coughed to clear his throat. He narrowed his eyes and looked into the distance as he spoke to get a better look. But deep down, he never thought that he would lose himself to their kiss as well.
