"It's okay, I've got it," I reply with a wink.
My heart pounds in my chest as I become acutely aware of his presence, standing right behind me. His proximity sends a shiver down my spine, stirring up conflicting emotions. The kitchen feels smaller, and the air thickens.
"I told you I can handle it," I insist, but I can’t hide my nervousness.
He remains undeterred, his hand gently brushing against my arm. His touch is sending a surge of warmth through my veins. I turned to face him, meeting his gaze, and my breath caught in my throat.
"You look incredibly sexy right now. It's so hard for me to resist you." His words hang in the air, leaving an undeniable tension between us.
At that moment, the world outside fades away, leaving only the two of us. Unable to resist any longer, I surrender. Our lips meet in a passionate kiss, and I shiver from the anticipation.
Time seems to blur as our connection intensifies. Michael's touch ignites a fire within me, his hands exploring the contours of my body. The kitchen becomes our sanctuary for unbridled passion.
With a surge of strength, he effortlessly lifts me onto the kitchen counter; our bodies are pressed tightly against each other. Every sensation is heightened, every touch electric, as we continue our heated exchange of kisses.
The intensity of the kiss makes all the nerves in my body light up.
My hands roam over Michael's broad shoulders while he holds me close. His hands explore every inch of my body. No words are exchanged as we let the passion take over.
It’s as if nothing else exists at that moment, kissing and pressing against each other with all the longing we’ve had bottled up.
As our lips part, Michael looks into my eyes. "I want you, Serena," he breathes out.
My eyes suddenly widen with shock at his words, realizing the path this could lead to if we don't stop ourselves.
"I'm sorry, Michael," I say, my voice cracking with emotion. "I can't do this."
I don't wait for his response before pushing him away and rushing past him. I run out of the dining room and into the safety of my bedroom. I know I have to put some distance between us, so I won't lose control.
But what have I done?
Chapter 11
New Possibilities
Michael
I step into my spacious office, closing the door behind me.
The sound of the latch clicking echoes through the room, isolating me from the bustling world outside. It's finally quiet, allowing me a moment to gather my thoughts.
Since that passionate kiss, we shared a few days ago, Serena has been avoiding me like the plague. It's as if she's afraid of confronting the feelings that stirred between us, and it tears me apart. The connection we shared was undeniable, electric, and it's all I can think about.
I look at the clock, realizing how pathetic I've become.
It's become a routine now, observing Serena's elusive patterns. She waits until I'm off to work before coming out of her bedroom. Or sometimes, she comes to the kitchen in the early hours and returns to her bedroom before I come in for breakfast.
It stings to know that she's deliberately avoiding me.
I find myself wondering what made her pull away.
Did I misread the situation entirely?
Was I too forward with my feelings?
But the truth is, I don’t regret that kiss. It intensified my desire for Serena, like pouring gasoline onto an already raging fire. I yearn for her lips against mine again to explore our desires.
Yet, I’m well aware of the danger of our entanglement. John cannot know what happened or my feelings for his niece. I'm playing a dangerous game here, allowing myself to be consumed by her.
