Chapter 1082

Jolie’s breath hitched as Gavin captured her completely off guard. His lips dominated hers with an intensity that left her no room to resist, his tongue teasing and tangling as though he intended to consume her entirely. “Mmph…”

A muffled sound escaped her, and she instinctively tried to push him away. The kiss was overwhelming, leaving her breathless, and she felt as if she couldn’t take it.

But the moment her hands brushed against his skin, she recoiled as though burned.

He had just taken a shower.

He was wearing nothing but a towel, his skin warm and damp, carrying the faint scent of soap.

Fortunately, the kiss ended as abruptly as it began. He pulled back slightly, though his breath still lingered over her lips, leaving her flustered.

“You were going to push me away?” he asked, his deep voice tinged with something unreadable as his eyes locked on her flushed face.
