The Divorce Prescription (Celina and Adam) novel Chapter 509

Declan definitely knew Hailey's intentions for asking him that question, yet he still had the nerve to say more than one woman had ridden on his bike!

Declan didn't dodge it, so Hailey's fist landed squarely on his chest.

His chest was solid as hell, and her hand actually ached from the impact. She winced, pulling it back as she scowled at him. "What the hell is up with your body? Why is it so freaking hard? My hand hurts now."

Declan glanced at her hand. It was small and delicate, clearly not used to anything rough. Sure enough, her fair skin was already turning red.

He smirked slightly and asked, "Why did you hit me?"

She glared at him, fuming. "What do you think?"

"No idea."

Hailey said, "Stop pretending you're not aware. Tell me, who are these women you've given rides to?"

Looking at her, Declan said, "My mom and my sister."

Hailey froze for a moment, her small, delicate face instantly turning bright red. She had assumed he was talking about other women, but it turned out to be his mom and sister. She was left speechless.

Declan watched her freeze in shock, looking adorably dazed. Amusement flickered in his eyes as he grinned.

Hailey stomped her foot and asked, "What are you laughing at? Are you making fun of me?"

Declan replied, "I'm not laughing."

Hailey stood on her tiptoes and leaned into him, her soft, sweet-scented body pressing against his. She reached up and pulled both corners of his mouth. "I saw it! You were grinning at me just like this!"

As she lunged forward, Declan instinctively stepped back. His tall, lean frame hit the wall, making it seem like Hailey had just trapped him.

Hailey cupped his face with both hands, her big, dewy eyes gazing up at him with an innocent, almost childlike expression.

Declan averted his gaze.

That was when Hailey noticed the wound on his neck. "What happened here?"

This wasn't their first kiss. The way she traced the shape of his lips, both shy and daring, made his breath hitch. She lightly tugged at his lower lip with her teeth, teasing and testing.

Declan's Adam's apple bobbed. That was when Hailey pushed further, parting his lips and slipping her tongue into his mouth.

That feeling hit Declan again, just like last time when it felt like he had been drugged. The reckless urge to let loose surged through him. It was like watching an adult video alone in a dark room—secret and illicit.

Declan was at the age when curiosity about desire was beginning to surface. His blood ran hot with restless energy.

He wanted to push Hailey away, but his hands refused to move. His gaze dropped for a moment before he finally gave in and kissed her back.

Hailey's legs went weak. Her arms remained around his neck, but her body had already softened against him.

Declan held her waist, pulling her closer and holding her firmly against him.

Hailey blushed, pushing him away.

They stopped kissing. Looking at her swollen lips, Declan asked in a low voice, "What's wrong?"
