You’ll Fall for Me, Today or Tomorrow novel Chapter 22

It was a new experience for Matthew to be stared at by the person whom he was kissing.

He couldn’t help feeling amused by her reaction. Covering her eyes with his hand, he deepened the kiss.

In a daze, Clarissa passively received his kiss.

Although the young lady in his arms didn’t return his kiss, the softness of her lips was sufficient to drive him crazy. He pressed her against the couch, looming over her.

When Clarissa came back to her senses, only did she realized they were in an intimate yet dangerous position. At that instant, she could hear nothing but her heart beating wildly in her chest. In a panic, she placed her hand on his chest to prevent him from moving any closer, whimpering in fear.

Matthew halted his kiss and then gave a peck on her swollen lips. He then propped his arms on both sides of her body, encircling her. The young lady was looking at him pitifully through her watery eyes; there was a hint of panic in her eyes.

He sat back on the couch next to her, pulling her into his arms. Caressing her back, he uttered in a deep voice, “Now you know what you’ve done to me that day.”

“That’s impossible!” Clarissa pulled herself away from him. At this moment, she finally regained her composure, looking at him with accusatory eyes. “I wouldn’t do something like that! Besides, I usually fell asleep after I’m drunk.”

Hearing that, Matthew let out a chuckle. “Are you sure? It can’t be that I, as your elder, tried to take advantage of you when you’re drunk, can I?”

With her cheeks burning, she stood up and pointed her fingers at Matthew. “Y-You… Aren’t you taking advantage of me right now?” Her mind was a mess, but she knew she couldn’t let him take advantage of her like that.

“Do you not like it when I kissed you?” he asked.

“I don’t!” She glared at him with her arms akimbo.

“Uncle Matthew, I respect you as my elder. I’m sorry for offending you that night, but we’re even now. It’s rather late now, and you should leave. I need to get some rest.” Unlike her previous timorous manner, she put on a brave front and dismissed him.

Under her angry stare, Matthew raised his brow as he rose to his feet. He then approached her, pulling her into his arms.
