The sudden contact broke something inside her, and she crumbled, her tears flowing freely against my chest.
I knew it—although Alice and Ellie weren't completely obsessed, they still genuinely love me, so saying stuff like that was bound to hurt them for real.
Shit. I am a jerk for testing her.
Unable to control myself, I gently lifted her chin, forcing her to meet my gaze.
I leaned in for passionate kiss.
She melted into my mouth, her sobs subsiding as she allowed me to explore deeper. Our saliva mingled, carrying the faint saltiness of her tears.
When I finally pulled back, her cheeks were flushed, and her face showed different emotions.
"I'm sorry, Aunty" I whispered, my thumb brushing away the remnants of her tears. "I shouldn't have been so thoughtless."
Her lips curved into a faint smile, and she covered my hand with hers.
