He Finally Noticed Me Right When I Was Leaving novel Chapter 1

Seraphina Somerset had barely returned home from work when someone embraced her from behind.

The living room was pitch black, and the chest pressed against her back felt broad and searing hot. Wet, tender kisses fell along the side of her neck, slowly trailing up to her earlobe.

"Where did you go? Why are you just getting back?" his voice was deep, laced with a slight hoarseness, scraping against her heart like coarse sand.

Seraphina had barely opened her mouth to speak when he silenced her. His lips tangled with hers, kissing her so deeply she couldn't utter a word, let alone answer his question.

The large hands gripping her waist gradually tightened. The familiar sense of constraint surged through her, igniting her body's deep-seated memories.

Seemingly dissatisfied with her distraction, he pinched her chin, forcing her to face him as he aggressively claimed her lips once more.

That was, until someone flipped on the living room lights.

Lyra Langley stared at the two entangled figures, momentarily stunned. "What are you doing..."

Seraphina froze.

The forceful grip that had just been clinging to her vanished in an instant. Along with it went his scorching body heat and that frantic, consuming intimacy, all pulling away at once.

Pierce Prescott frowned slightly, glancing at Seraphina with a fleeting look of confusion. The burning desire in his eyes instantly cooled, replaced by a distant and polite tone. "Sorry, I mistook you for someone else."

He quickly walked toward Lyra, his voice tinged with anxiety. "Where did you go? Why did you leave without saying anything? I thought it was you who just walked in."

Lyra lifted a small plastic bag to show him. "I went to buy you some hangover medicine. You were blacked out, so I didn't want to wake you."

Pierce said, "Tell me before you go anywhere from now on."

"I know, nag..."

Lyra muttered her complaint, seemingly annoyed by his fussing.

But when she looked at Seraphina, her expression shifted into a gentle, welcoming smile. "Seraphina, don't misunderstand. Pierce and I are just old classmates, nothing more."

Seraphina gave a soft, "Mhm."

Just old classmates, yet they couldn't wait to passionately make out the moment they saw each other.

If they hadn't been interrupted, it probably would have escalated beyond just kissing.

Very normal indeed.

While she was lost in thought, Lyra walked over and greeted her. "Seraphina, do you still remember me? I'm Lyra Langley, your high school classmate."
