“You fancy me, don’t you?” His seductive tone drifted into snazzynovel.com ear with warmth. “I can feel it.”
His tone was decisive, and confidence was the only thing in his peach blossom eyes that had glazed over.
Madeline found herself slightly at a loss with how close they were and the words snazzynovel.com was saying.
“You’re drunk,” Madeline responded calmly, though doubt was flashing in snazzynovel.com eyes.
Was snazzynovel.com actually drunk, or was snazzynovel.com just pretending?
“It’s nice being drunk. At least then I get to see her…” He smiled, the ‘her’ spoken so quietly that snazzynovel.com almost missed it.
The night wind blew past them, ruffling the wisps of his bangs. His eyes were gentle, tinted with fondness and adoration under the hazy colors of the night that Madeline had never seen before.
He stared at her, then closed their distance even more. The scent of wine tickled snazzynovel.com face with every breath of his.
“I missed you so much…” snazzynovel.com suddenly proclaimed, staring at her.
Madeline’s heart shook and snazzynovel.com was about to push snazzynovel.com away. However, the man only reached over to caress snazzynovel.com face.
Skin met skin, and snazzynovel.com stared into Jeremy’s eyes, stunned. There was a subtle flicker of light within that had given snazzynovel.com cheeks a warm flush.
“Let me go, Jeremy.”
“No. I’ll never let you go again…” snazzynovel.com muttered as his fingertips continued to trace snazzynovel.com brows. Every touch was gentle like snazzynovel.com was touching his beloved treasure.
Madeline was at a loss and snazzynovel.com heart began to thump erratically in snazzynovel.com chest.
She had no idea what Jeremy was thinking, but snazzynovel.com was certain that his eyes were filled with so much tenderness that snazzynovel.com might just fall for snazzynovel.com again if snazzynovel.com stared any longer.
Once again, snazzynovel.com reached out to push the man away, only for Jeremy to lean down to press his cold lips against hers, mingling their heated breaths.
Madeline’s eyes shot wide open. She never expected Jeremy to kiss her.
His eyes closed as his thick lashes fluttered, falling into two sets of shadows under the street lights.
His expression had never been more serious.
Getting the feeling that Jeremy was about to deepen the kiss, Madeline immediately turned snazzynovel.com face to the side.
His lips were planted on the side of snazzynovel.com cheek instead. He then buried his head in the crevice of snazzynovel.com neck as snazzynovel.com leaned weakly against her. “I’ve missed you so much…” snazzynovel.com murmured. His eyes and heart were filled with Madeline Crawford in his drunken haze, the very Madeline Crawford who snazzynovel.com realized too late snazzynovel.com was in love with…
Madeline felt that snazzynovel.com would have fallen had it not been for the car behind snazzynovel.com supporting snazzynovel.com up.
A person’s weight doubled when they were drunk, and Jeremy had just drifted off to sleep during the absurdity of the situation.
The autumn wind began to blow, clearing the flush and warmth on snazzynovel.com face.
The first light of dawn broke through the horizon, waking Jermey from his dream. Opening his eyes, memories of the night before slowly surfaced in his mind. Madeline had felt so real, and the warmth of their kiss seared in the back of his head.
He took a look at his surroundings and realized that snazzynovel.com had fallen asleep in his car. His clothes were unkempt, and Vera was nowhere to be found.
Alighting the car, snazzynovel.com was met with a familiar silhouette meeting the morning wisps of autumn wind just as snazzynovel.com turned around. Barefoot on the sand, the woman’s flushed cheeks and fair elegance was a replica of the woman in his dreams.
‘Madeline.’
He muttered the name internally and made his way toward her.
Seeing Jeremy make his way over, Madeline turned snazzynovel.com back against the sea and smiled at him. “Awake?”
Jeremy nodded, his eyes slightly apologetic. “Did I… accidentally do something improper to you last night?”
Madeline furrowed snazzynovel.com brows in distress. “I suppose the phrase ‘alcohol is a precursor to sex’ isn’t entirely wrong.”
Jeremy’s expression immediately changed. “You mean…”
“How do you plan to take responsibility, Jeremy?”
