The More the Merrier novel Chapter 316

Chapter 316 You Kissed Me

Arissa finally realized Benjamin was kissing her.

At that realization, her eyes widened with shock as the heat began to spread from her face to her neck.

Benjamin opened his eyes and met her gaze with a burning intensity.

“Close your eyes,” he ordered with a husky voice.

Her heart began thumping louder in her chest, and she squeezed her eyes shut.

He wrapped an arm around her waist and another at the back of her neck, holding her head in place before he leaned in to land his lips on hers.

Her brain was all fuzzy from the passionate kiss. His touch on her back snapped her out of the moment like a bucket of cold water. She shyly yet determinedly pushed him away.

“You rascal!”

She swiftly pulled the blanket over her head, hiding her entire face.

His temper sparked after having his kiss interrupted, but it was quickly extinguished as he observed her adorable actions.

Delight flashed across his eyes.

“You’re the one who kissed me first.”

She immediately pulled the blanket down, staring at his handsome face with disbelief.

“You’re lying!”

There is no way I would do that!

He arched his brow wickedly. “Well, you didn’t push me away when I kissed you either.”

She couldn’t come up with a retort since she truly had been drawn into the moment by his kiss.

Shooting him a death glare, she snapped, “My brain was still groggy from sleep!”

A thought came to her. She sat up and looked down at the man lying down beside her.

“Aren’t you disgusted by me? You didn’t look all that disgusted with me a minute ago. Could it be that you’ve fallen for me?”

He merely stared at the smug expression on her face silently.

After a few seconds, she couldn’t hold his intense dark gaze any longer and awkwardly averted her gaze.

Realizing she would lose if she averted her gaze first, she swiftly shot him a fierce stare.

Thinking she had done well, she whirled around, then left his room.

The moment the door fell shut, she patted her face in an attempt to cool her bright red cheeks.

After a while, she dashed to her room to wash up and change. Looking refreshed, she turned down the hall toward the kids’ room.
