No Strings Attached novel (Clara and Ian) novel Chapter 112

Chapter 112 

lan led Clara onto the golf course, gesturing towards an ancient oak standing tall beyond the outfield. I’ve lost something under that tree, he said with a smirk. Think you can help me find it, Attorney Clara?” 

Clara wasn’t in the mood for chitchat; she strode towards the oak without a word. She circled the tree meticulously several times, but nothing caught her eye. As realization dawned on her that she’d been duped, lan’s low chuckle floated from behind her. Aren’t you gonna ask what I lost, Attorney Clara?” 

She shot him an icy glance. If you’re not serious about this, Mr. Hayes, I’ve got no time for games!” 

With that, she spun on her heel to leave, only to find lan blocking her path, his gaze intense and piercing. His voice, a deep and magnetic timbre, spilled forth. Three years ago, I lost my first kiss right here. Can you help me find it, Attorney Clara?” 

At his words, Clara’s heartbeat faltered, her fingertips trembling involuntarily. Memories of three years past flooded her mind

She vividly remembered how her heart raced when lan’s hands had enveloped hers from behind. She’d been intoxicated by his unique scent, the strong beat of his heart against her back. Ian had been her crush for four long years

She’d basked in that happiness until dusk, when the sunset painted the sky pink. Exhausted, Clara had sat under the oak, supporting her chin in her hands, watching lan play solo. She wished time would freeze in that momentwith lan by her side

As twilight settled, lan approached her through the dimming light. She reached out with a towel for him, but he grabbed her wrist, pulling her into a powerful embrace

His masculine scent was overwhelming, and Clara, like a startled bunny, looked up at him with flushed cheeks and dewy, confused eyes

lan’s handsome face slowly loomed closer until his warm lips met hers. Her eyes widened, and her heart seemingly stopped as a tingling sensation spread from her lips. His tongue pried her mouth open, stealing her breath away. She was breathless, staring wideeyed as lan claimed her lips in his own brazen way

It was only after an eternity that lan gradually released her, panting softly beside her lips. Silly girl, close your eyes, open your mouth.” 

Clara couldn’t recall how long they’d kissed under that tree, only that her lips were swollenand so was her
