The Reclaimed Rose (Annalise and Steven) novel Chapter 320

Holding hands seemed intimate enough to me. "Probably?"

Instead of arguing, Zane mused, "Anna, lying comes with a price. He'll keep pursuing you"

Zane suddenly realized that Steven's presence was a great excuse to get closer to me.

I bit my lip. Honestly, I wanted nothing more to do with Steven, so I could only look up at Zane. "What would convince him for good?"

Suddenly, he pulled me onto his lap. I tried to stand, but he held me firmly. Then, Zane whispered seductively, "Just demonstrating."

"Okay, I get it..." I blushed, trying to rise.

But Zane wouldn't let go, "Why are you blushing so hard? Didn't Steven ever hold you like this?"

I nodded. "No. Since he didn't love me, we only held hands and hugged. Nothing more."

"Really?" As Zane questioned me, he could not help himself anymore. He cupped my face and pressed his warm lips to mine. The sudden kiss left my mind blank.

Instinctively, I tried to push him away. But Zane held my back and did not want to let go. Strangely, I did not mind his kiss at all.

Sensing my acceptance, he deepened the kiss. This was his first kiss ever, and he never knew kissing someone he loved could feel so great. Finally, he released me when I needed air.
