The previously calm gaze was filled with ripples. Raw and mixed emotion was clearly visible in those beautiful eyes. Anger, disappointment, and sadness.
When I thought that I was one of the reasons why those once optimistic eyes were now dimmed, I felt like punching myself.
My hand unconsciously reached up to touch her cheek. Wiping away the tears that fell onto her soft cheek.
Her cheek was incredibly soft. As my rough fingers brushed against her skin, I was afraid I might scratch her.
Her body twitched at my touch. And her gaze suddenly changed to... longing.
At the same time, Obby threatened to push me to embrace that face, dive into that body, release the longing that had been held back all this time.
I began to smell the sweet scent of Clarissa's body. Her pheromones kicked in.
My brain tried to resist, but suddenly... those soft lips touched mine.
Clarissa's hands suddenly wrapped around my neck.
Deja vu.
