Miss Mercer's face was beside him, with a touch of "sparkle" near her lips. Christopher Moore noticed that "sparkle" and couldn't help but smile.
He gently wiped it away, but when his fingertips touched her soft, tender skin, he couldn't bring himself to move away.
In the dim light, Ruby Mercer's nose was already covered in shadows, and Christopher Moore's eyes reflected her rosy lips.
He silently swallowed, the smooth sensation at his fingertips sent signals to his brain, awakening the sleeping lion within him.
The restless feelings in his heart spread uneasily down to his abdomen, a surging heat overwhelming Christopher Moore's clarity.
He slowly leaned down to kiss those long-craved pink lips.
Ruby Mercer furrowed her brows slightly but didn't wake up.
Christopher Moore indulged in the sweetness of the moment, stealing a kiss that was unforgettable.
