My Substitute CEO Bride (Nash Calicraft) novel Chapter 1454

Tatiana's face could cause the downfall of cities. Her features were so finely crafted that they were flawless. The alcohol had flushed her cheeks a rosy hue, and her eyes shimmered with a drunken moistness, blending gentleness with allure.

Her face oozed a melancholy that made her seem pitifully charming.

Any normal man’s heart might stir from being alone with a beautiful woman in a secluded place like this.

Nash swallowed hard, then averted his gaze. "We should rest early, gather our strength, and aim to climb the mountain before dawn!"

"Mmm!" Tatiana nodded, then picked up the rechargeable lamp from the floor and adjusted its light to a soft red.

Nash's eyelids twitched wildly.

This atmosphere… Was she doing this on purpose?

Tatiana stood up from the chair, sashaying her hips as she had seen in a video as she made her way toward Nash. However, after just a couple of steps, she stumbled over a stone blocking the coal. Tatiana fell toward Nash, a swear escaping her lips. This was certainly not her intent!

Nash shot forward and caught Tatiana with one arm, preventing her from hitting the ground.

Despite the layers of her sweatshirt and undergarments, Nash could still feel the dough-like softness on Tatiana. She emitted a faint, milky fragrance. It was her natural body scent, not at all perfume.

Nash felt his mouth go dry, but he suppressed the rising impulse. He steadied Tatiana, his voice firm as he said, "You've had too much to drink, and you're not even heading in the right direction. Your air mattress is over—"

He was cut off mid-sentence as Tatiana's soft, warm lips pressed against his. Her hands clung to his shirt, her eyes shut tight. Her heart was practically pounding out of her chest.

Nash pushed Tatiana away, his expression serious. "Go to sleep. I've already told you, I have a wife.”
