Chapter 46 The Night That Changed Everything

The night hung thick with tension, an electricity crackling in the air between them. The remnants of their kiss still lingered, both sweet and fervent, and as the room grew quieter, the world outside seemed to fade. All that remained was the soft, rhythmic sound of their breath, the beating of their hearts, and the undeniable pull between them that had been building for so long. Emily’s skin still hummed from the touch of Ethan’s lips, and she could feel the warmth of his body close to hers. He had never been this close before—truly close, in every sense of the word. Her heart raced as she sat there, the weight of his eyes on her once more. He didn’t need to say anything. The connection between them was too strong for words. But there was something in Ethan’s gaze—something that spoke volumes. His expression was serious, a blend of desire, caution, and an undeniable softness that sent a jolt through Emily’s chest.
