Chapter 722
For a moment, I wondered why Colin's gait was steady. A drunkard shouldn't even be able to walk straight, no? Then, I was thrown to the bed. Alcohol-scented kisses rained down upon me, not giving me a second to breathe.
A slender hand dug under the hem of my lingerie. His fingertips left a trail of electrifying sensation on my body.
"Babe, I want you so much," moaned Colin hoarsely next to my ears. So seductive was his voice that my very existence shuddered in bliss and nervousness.
"Say yes, babe. Say you want me too. I want to hear it," Colin growled out the words. His hot breath gave my neck goosebumps. My mind became woozy. There was this emptiness within me that demanded to be filled. It was intoxicating.
Did I want it? I asked myself, ignoring the weird sensations his fingers gave my body. Should I say no? But my soul and my body craved something.
But two reasons were stopping me from saying yes-embarrassment and fear. My expertise in romance novels taught me everything I ought to know, but it was still all theory, at best. To do it physically required courage. Just imagining the pain from the first time was enough to deter me.
As I engaged in internal debate, the breathing on my shoulder slowed down. I checked on Colin and realized that he had fallen asleep with one hand under my shirt. What! He turned me on and then fell asleep. For a second, I wondered if I should dump him right here, right then.
Flustered and irritated, I began to thrash about trying to wiggle out of his imprisonment. Having a full-grown man on top of me made breathing more difficult too. Right when was about to succeed, the arms around me tightened and Colin muttered, "Stop moving, babe.
Sleep."
All my effort went down the drain. Most importantly, I was so grumpy that I fell asleep too. Heat woke me up halfway through, and I noticed that the sky was dark. The bedroom was not illuminated, so the light spots outside twinkled like the stars.This text is property of Nô/velD/rama.Org.
I tilted my head to the side and found myself facing Colin's flawless face. His beautiful eyes were closed, and under his tall nose bridge was a pinkish Cupid's bow. His breathing rhythm was slow and regular, peaceful like my moment with him.
I removed the blanket which somehow found its way to my body and headed to the window. The sky was pitch-black with barely any stars. White flakes descended from the sky, swaying against the wind, making the scene extra romantic.
It was snowing! Having witnessed the blizzard in the north that covered the ground in a blanket of thick snow within seconds, these snow specks could never impress me anymore. But now that I lived in a whole different region, it sure felt different.
The whole Jinovy was graced by the shower of snowflakes. It looked like a fairy tale. Behind me, Colin mumbled "babe" in his sleep, and his hands reached around to locate me. I smiled and brought the coldness with me to the bed and Colin's
embrace. Closing my eye

The next day, my nose and my ears were feeling cold. The snowfall last night must have brought about a drop in temperature. Unlike the north, Jinovy did not have a
