Chapter 597: Snowball Kiss

Islinda soon learned Fae children were drawn to fun like a magnet and they couldn’t resist the allure like a moth to the flame. As the snowball fight ensued between Islinda, Aldric, and the children, laughter filled the air, blending with the sounds of gleeful shouts and playful banter. With the children teaming up against them, Islinda and Aldric found themselves reluctantly joining forces, their competitive spirits giving way to cooperation.

Islinda scooped up snow in her palm while Aldric effortlessly conjured snowballs in his hands, hurling them at the children with precision. Despite their best efforts, they were outnumbered, and Islinda soon realized just how playful and competitive the children could be.

Using their winter powers, the children unleashed a barrage of snowballs, forcing Aldric to play both defense and offense. He raised a protective shield of ice to block the attacks while also launching snowballs back at them. Although Aldric could easily overpower the children, he deliberately held back, allowing the children and himself to enjoy the game to its fullest.

However, the children proved to be more mischievous than expected. One of them created a hidden hound of snow, causing Islinda to lose her footing and tumble forward with an undignified yelp. Before she could brace herself, she crashed into Aldric, and the force of her fall sent them both sprawling onto the ground in a tangle of limbs.

As they lay there, stunned and tangled together, their eyes met, and a moment of silence passed between them. Islinda found herself captivated by Aldric’s mesmerizing blue eyes. They seemed to hold a depth of emotion that she couldn’t quite comprehend, drawing her in with their intensity. Her gaze involuntarily flickered down to his lips, full and inviting, tempting her to lean in for a kiss. The desire pulsing through her veins urged her to close the gap between them, her heart racing with anticipation.

Aldric’s eyes met hers, and for a moment, they seemed to communicate without words. Islinda felt a rush of emotions swirling within her, unsure of what to do next. It was as if he was waiting for her to make the first move, to bridge the gap between them. Instead she hesitated, breaking the spell they were under.

A surge of panic washed over Islinda as she realized the gravity of their close proximity. Finally, she attempted to lift herself off him, bracing herself on her elbow. However, her hand slipped on the snow, causing her to lose her balance. In an unfortunate twist of fate, her mouth landed on Aldric’s in an unexpected kiss, leaving both of them stunned by the sudden turn of events.

Islinda stilled on top of Aldric, the sensation of their lips touching sending a jolt of warmth coursing through her veins. She froze, wondering what Aldric must think of her now. She had been the one to start the "no touching" rule and had promised to equally keep her hands off him. What would he think now?

But Islinda’s worries faded away as Aldric slid his hand around her neck, gently fisting it in her hair and deepening the kiss. In that moment, time seemed to stand still, the laughter and chaos of the snowball fight fading into the background. Their hearts pounded in sync with the rush of adrenaline from the playful snowball fight, consumed by the electrifying connection between them.
