Chapter 68

And yet, instead of pushing him off, my hands gripped his shirt like it was my lifeline, pulling him closer as I sank deeper into the kiss.

It was only when his hand brushed against the bare skin of my waist that reality crashed back in with a jolt.

I tore myself free and pushed him away.

“Stop,” I breathed, my chest heaving as I tried to straighten my disheveled clothes.

He froze.

But instead of pulling away completely, he leaned back in, resting his forehead against the crook of my neck.

His warm breath seared my skin as he whispered in a hoarse voice, “Why stop?”

My heart lurched at his words, but I forced myself to stay calm. “Dean, stand up. Let’s talk.”

“Not until you tell me why you wanted to stop,” he said stubbornly, rubbing his head against my neck.

His soft hair tickled against my skin, sending shivers down my spine.

I clenched my fists and bit back a sound that threatened to escape.

“You’re heavy.”

When he still didn’t move, I added dryly, “Your weight is crushing me.”

That finally did it.

He shifted off me in an instant and sat at my side, grabbing my hand as he did so.

When I tried to pull free, he clasped my other one too, trapping them both.

“Is that really all? Or are you planning to reject me again, like you did two days ago?” His gaze was deadly serious as they locked on mine.

“i like you Linh “The vines softened, low mid delitzame “From the great i ww you a that banquet: ermething unfamiliar wake made me we in my dad boy scary that I needed to get to know you”

He gave a suit, self-mocking laugh. “It was honestly inexplicable, tre f’ve never been re grateful for listening to it. Reemse the more time I spent with you, the deeper 1 tell I guess that’s what they call love at first sight.”

My breath hitched, caught off guard by his sincere, heartfelt contention.

Two days ago, I’d turned him down in a roundabout way because I’d feared this exact

moment

But it still happened anyway.

And now… I could no longer keep brushing him off

Still, love at first sight?

For me?

To be fair, I didn’t see anything extraordinary in myself that could make someone like him fall so hard.

I must have gone silent too long because his voice invaded my thoughts. “What are you thinking so deeply about? Is it really what I guessed?”

I blinked, about to respond, but he cut me off with a teasing smirk,

“Let me remind you, in case you forgot-you didn’t exactly push me away just now, Elise. So admit it. You’re attracted to me too.”

Heat crept up my neck as the memory of the kiss seared back to life.

You don’t have to remind me. I’m painfully aware already. I shot him a glare, but that only seemed to amuse him.

In the end, it all turned into a helpless sigh. I opened my mouth to speak again, only for him to cover it with his hand.

God. Was this really the composed businessman Callum had spoken of? Why did he act so childish sometimes?!

But when he spoke again, his tone was surprisingly solemn.

“I know you have your concerns, Elise and I’m not asking you to ignore them. I just hope you won’t use them as an excuse to push me away again. And if there’s any way I can help, tell me. We’ll face it together. Just… don’t reject me anymore.”

The sincerity in his voice and gaze struck me harder than the kiss.

Dean was a prideful man-I’d come to know that much.

So, seeing him lower himself like this-almost pleading-made something in my chest ache
