"S-Sean," Angeline stammered. Her ears were filled with the thunderous noise of her blood racing, paralyzing her brain.
Sean gazed into Angeline's eyes, admiring her delicate, sharp nose and lustrous lips. His eyes finally rested on her slightly trembling pupils. His slender fingers gently caressed the corner of her lips.
Angeline clasped Sean's strong wrist as her eyelashes fluttered even more intensely.
"Shane..." Sean's prominent nose touched Angeline's. He slowly leaned in and nearly made her stop breathing.
"My real name is Shane Kingston," Sean revealed. His Adam's apple moved as he spoke. His rich voice filled the air, and his lips almost touched Angeline's. Those words carried a seductive charm.
Angeline felt her heart pounding. It threatened to burst out of her chest. She grabbed Sean's vest tightly, attempting to pull away. Sean held her by the back of her head.
He pressed his lips down on hers, causing her body to shiver with goosebumps.
Angeline found solace in Sean's arms despite the turmoil in her mind.
Angeline's hold on Sean's shirt grew tighter as her lips parted. She pushed him away suddenly. "Sean, don't... Please don't do this."
Sean grazed her lips with his fingertips. He removed his glasses and started to unbutton his vest. He kissed her again as he pinned her down on the couch.
Angeline placed her arms between them, pushing against Sean's shoulders. She struggled to move him away.
His familiar scent enveloped her while his lips and tongue dominated hers in a kiss. It felt like he was consuming her.
Their lips and saliva mixed in an intimacy that left Angeline powerless. Her body went limp, and her spine tensed with the intensity of the moment.
The silence was broken by the ringtone of Angeline's phone. Sean stopped his movements.
