Jude Langley gazed at Sylvia Sterling's faintly smiling face, his eyes darkening.
"How do you want to seal it?"
Sylvia's actions were more direct than any answer.
Her right hand, hanging at her side, slowly wrapped around the man's neck.
Jude obediently lowered his head, letting Sylvia take the lead.
As their lips met once more.
All of Jude's restraint and suppression from the past several days evaporated.
The kiss that sealed it deepened.
From tentative to indulgent, from gentle to savage.
When the kiss ended.
The tea room was silent.
Jude buried his face in the crook of Sylvia's neck, steadying his breath.
But his heartbeat and breathing still filled the air with a thick, sensual tension.
And this was just from a kiss.
Sylvia leaned against the wall, not moving.
After all, the man's reaction was too strong to ignore.
Jude's Adam's apple bobbed continuously. It took him a long moment to force back those tempting thoughts.
