Julian stopped in his tracks, looking down at her.

They were standing right under a streetlight.

The light was warm yellow, and the road was quiet. Small tree branches blocked some of the light, throwing spotty shadows all over their bodies.

Iris’s cheeks were pink, her eyes clear and confused as she stared at Julian’s handsome face.

He had on a white shirt and black pants, his sleeves rolled up to his forearms. He looked elegant, laid–back, and warm. His broad build made a cute contrast with her slim frame.

at breeze blew. Under the warm yellow night light, that bright red mark looked like a tiny pink petal her pale neck. It was a sign of how he’d almost lost control last night.

He’d gotten too caught up in the moment and kissed her too hard.

Julian’s fingers trembled a little, his breathing got deeper, and his Adam’s apple moved up and down. His voice went hoarse. “I didn’t mean to do it.”

Iris wasn’t even sure if it was a hickey, to be honest.

It could’ve been a scratch from a button when he helped her, or a little bump.

She asked, curious, “How’d it happen?”

Julian didn’t answer. He just stared at her tempting lips, his Adam’s apple moving again

Then he showed!

Julian gently held her jaw with his big hand, his fingers brushing the back of her neck.

Iris stiffened a little. His warm, thick hand felt like it had a faint electric tingle, spreading from her skin to her whole body. Her heart started to race.

Julian’s eyes burned. He leaned down slowly, bending his waist to get closer to her lips.

Iris’s heart beat faster and faster, like it was gonna jump out of her throat. She clenched her fists, nervous.

Her mind was all muddled, her breathing all uneven.

Julian’s hot breath fanned her cheeks, making her go weak all over. She closed her eyes, nervous. The second his lips touched hers, she went soft, like a puddle. Her legs felt wobbly, her body shaking.

Iris never knew a guy could smell so good, or have such soft lips.

Julian never smoked and his breath was fresh. He had a light, pleasant scent about him, and even his kiss was sweet, with a unique freshness.

Under the streetlight, Julian kissed her gently for a long time–so long her heart felt like it was gonna burst, her head spinning.

Without thinking, she wrapped her arms around his waist.

This was her first kiss.

She never thought it’d feel this amazing.

Her first love, her husband, kissed her gently for the first time on a quiet night street, under the fuzzy streetlight.

She wanted to freeze this moment forever.

She even forgave Julian for being cold to her the past two years.

She told herself: Julian just needed two years to get over his germaphobia. Now it was gone, and he could accept her, kiss her.

She felt like crying.

After waiting two years, her first love had finally accepted her.

The kiss ended reluctantly when Iris was almost out of breath.

Her cheeks were red, looking shy and cute. She hung her head, pressing her lips together, feeling his taste

and scent stuck on her mouth.

Julian’s breathing was uneven too. He put his arm around her shoulders and pulled her into his arms.

The hug after the kiss was warm and tight.

She leaned against his chest, closing her eyes to rest. But she noticed his heart was beating weird.

She counted carefully–it was beating over 180 times a minute.

His body was really tense, his hand on her back shaking a little.

Iris studied pharmacology, which meant she also knew basic medical stuff. So she could tell right a how lw feeling
