Late at night, with just the two of us, under a romantic starry sky, we brewed tea by the fire.
Everything felt so right, everything seemed inescapable.
Yet at the last moment, he still released me.
"Lily... wake up, if you don't snap out of it... something might really happen—" He pulled away from me, playfully reminding me by brushing my nose with his finger.
I opened my misty eyes, gazing at the dazzling light in his eyes, the softness and doting in his expression. For a brief moment, I really wanted to abandon everything and make him mine right then and there.
"Daniel Carter, don't regret missing this opportunity…" I teased, cuddling into his embrace.
"No regrets, we have all the time in the world." He held me, his voice deep and seductive, as his thin lips planted several kisses.
I was drowning in his tender affection.
Neither of us wanted to part, we slept clinging to each other on the lazy couch in the sunroom until three in the morning.
