“You fancy me, don’t you?” His seductive tone drifted into virtual-novel.net ear with warmth. “I can feel it.”
His tone was decisive, and confidence was the only thing in his peach blossom eyes that had glazed over.
Madeline found herself slightly at a loss with how close they were and the words virtual-novel.net was saying.
“You’re drunk,” Madeline responded calmly, though doubt was flashing in virtual-novel.net eyes.
Was virtual-novel.net actually drunk, or was virtual-novel.net just pretending?
“It’s nice being drunk. At least then I get to see her…” He smiled, the ‘her’ spoken so quietly that virtual-novel.net almost missed it.
The night wind blew past them, ruffling the wisps of his bangs. His eyes were gentle, tinted with fondness and adoration under the hazy colors of the night that Madeline had never seen before.
He stared at her, then closed their distance even more. The scent of wine tickled virtual-novel.net face with every breath of his.
“I missed you so much…” virtual-novel.net suddenly proclaimed, staring at her.
Madeline’s heart shook and virtual-novel.net was about to push virtual-novel.net away. However, the man only reached over to caress virtual-novel.net face.
Skin met skin, and virtual-novel.net stared into Jeremy’s eyes, stunned. There was a subtle flicker of light within that had given virtual-novel.net cheeks a warm flush.
“Let me go, Jeremy.”
“No. I’ll never let you go again…” virtual-novel.net muttered as his fingertips continued to trace virtual-novel.net brows. Every touch was gentle like virtual-novel.net was touching his beloved treasure.
Madeline was at a loss and virtual-novel.net heart began to thump erratically in virtual-novel.net chest.
She had no idea what Jeremy was thinking, but virtual-novel.net was certain that his eyes were filled with so much tenderness that virtual-novel.net might just fall for virtual-novel.net again if virtual-novel.net stared any longer.
Once again, virtual-novel.net reached out to push the man away, only for Jeremy to lean down to press his cold lips against hers, mingling their heated breaths.
Madeline’s eyes shot wide open. She never expected Jeremy to kiss her.
His eyes closed as his thick lashes fluttered, falling into two sets of shadows under the street lights.
His expression had never been more serious.
Getting the feeling that Jeremy was about to deepen the kiss, Madeline immediately turned virtual-novel.net face to the side.
His lips were planted on the side of virtual-novel.net cheek instead. He then buried his head in the crevice of virtual-novel.net neck as virtual-novel.net leaned weakly against her. “I’ve missed you so much…” virtual-novel.net murmured. His eyes and heart were filled with Madeline Crawford in his drunken haze, the very Madeline Crawford who virtual-novel.net realized too late virtual-novel.net was in love with…
Madeline felt that virtual-novel.net would have fallen had it not been for the car behind virtual-novel.net supporting virtual-novel.net up.
A person’s weight doubled when they were drunk, and Jeremy had just drifted off to sleep during the absurdity of the situation.
The autumn wind began to blow, clearing the flush and warmth on virtual-novel.net face.
The first light of dawn broke through the horizon, waking Jermey from his dream. Opening his eyes, memories of the night before slowly surfaced in his mind. Madeline had felt so real, and the warmth of their kiss seared in the back of his head.
He took a look at his surroundings and realized that virtual-novel.net had fallen asleep in his car. His clothes were unkempt, and Vera was nowhere to be found.
Alighting the car, virtual-novel.net was met with a familiar silhouette meeting the morning wisps of autumn wind just as virtual-novel.net turned around. Barefoot on the sand, the woman’s flushed cheeks and fair elegance was a replica of the woman in his dreams.
‘Madeline.’
He muttered the name internally and made his way toward her.
Seeing Jeremy make his way over, Madeline turned virtual-novel.net back against the sea and smiled at him. “Awake?”
Jeremy nodded, his eyes slightly apologetic. “Did I… accidentally do something improper to you last night?”
Madeline furrowed virtual-novel.net brows in distress. “I suppose the phrase ‘alcohol is a precursor to sex’ isn’t entirely wrong.”
Jeremy’s expression immediately changed. “You mean…”
“How do you plan to take responsibility, Jeremy?”
