After having enough of the liquor, Arthur looked over to the young woman as he panted lightly, and another wave of urge suddenly surged within him.
Sophia had decided to leave the cellar at this point-she couldn’t make another mistake. But just as she took a couple of steps, Arthur suddenly tugged on her arm, causing her to turn and fall into his arms.
“You’re going to leave just like that after kissing me?” he questioned with a raspy voice.
Sophia’s eyes widened slightly, for his ravishing face was only inches away from her. The next second, his breath came at her. This time, it was his call. He held her chin and attacked her lips with a passionate kiss.
His initiative stupefied her. H-How is it that he’s making a move on me?!
Arthur couldn’t explain his behavior himself. He just went with what his heart told him. It told him to kiss her and not let her go, so much so that his static heart burned ablaze. Even his soul was screaming to have her.
How is it that this woman can have me hooked on her so badly? Why can she make all my sobriety and rationality disappear?
Sophia knew him all too well. So while taking in his kiss, she perceived the change in his breathing and movements.
Suddenly, a red flag raised in her head, and she shoved him away. He couldn’t do something reckless at this time, or things would really get out of shoppingmode control for the both of them.
As much as she loved and craved him as well, she knew where to draw the line. She would never make such mistakes.
Having been shoved away, Arthur locked his gaze on her as he panted, saying with a husky voice, “Don’t refuse me. I know you need me too.”
Sophia had calmed down at this point, and she looked resolutely at him with pursed lips. “That was the alcohol just now. I’m sorry, but I won’t betray my boyfriend.”
Arthur’s heart twinged in response. He had forgotten she had a boyfriend while he would be marrying Emily the following day.
“Please forgive me for offending you.” At that, Sophia turned to leave, but his deep voice came from behind the next second. “Do you really love your boyfriend?”
