---- Chapter 234 On the meadow, she and Asher kissed for a long time. They hadn''t been this intimate for so long. In their daily interactions, both had been restraining and suppressing their feelings. Days of restraint had deepened their longing and desire. Once the barriers broke, they couldn''t stop. After they parted, her lips were slightly swollen. Following that kiss, both were breathing heavily. For the rest of the day, Thalia felt dazed, as if everything were unreal.
When they returned to the hotel that evening, Thalia was still ina dreamlike state. In the garden outside the hotel. They sat together on a long wooden bench. ---- Asher gently held Thalia, his voice husky: "Lia, let''s get back together, hmm?" The evening breeze carried the lingering heat of summer, with dim, scattered light from the streetmps. Asher''s dark eyes were deep, his tone cautious, mixed with nervousness and anticipation. He even held his breath.
Thalia leaned against Asher''s chest and softly murmured, "Mm." Finally, his anxious heart could rest. Asher''s heartbeat, previously pounding like war drums, finally stabilized. smiling, he opened his palm to reveal a fruit candy. Thalia rested her head on Asher''s shoulder, looking down at the candy in his palm. "Why are you still carrying candy around?" Asher, in an extremely good mood, spoke with a smile in his voice, "The hotel owner''s daughter just gave it to me in the lobby.
It''s for you." ---- Thalia picked up the candy and examined it. "Peach vor-my favorite." She unwrapped it and put the fruit candy in her mouth. The sweetness spread through her mouth. They leaned against each other, enjoying the evening breeze,fortable and content. Time slowed down in that moment. "Is it sweet?" Asher suddenly asked. The candy in Thalia''s mouth hadn''tpletely dissolved.
She spoke slowly around it: "Mm, very sweet." The man''s voice was deep and maic, increasingly seductive in the night: "Really? Sweeter than you?" The night was so quiet that the sound of the wind was clearly audible. Thalia thought it must be the summer night breeze carrying the residual heat that made her face feel warm.
