Chapter 465
Sean stood still, letting her kiss him however she wanted, but made no move to kiss her back.
A small wave of defeat rose in her chest.
She let go of his neck and stepped back onto her heels.
Sean still had a faint smile on his lips. His deep, magnetic voice drifted lazily from above her. “Why’d you stop?”
“You didn’t want to kiss me,” Charlotte said flatly.
She had asked him to hide earlier. It really had been unfair to him. So she had taken the initiative, hoping to make it up to him, to cheer him up. But after a few kisses, he hadn’t responded at all.
“If he wasn’t interested, then what was the point in continuing?” she thought.
Sean raised an eyebrow. “Did I say I didn’t want to kiss you?”
Charlotte puffed out her cheeks in frustration. “Then why didn’t you react at all? You didn’t even kiss me back.”
Sean let out a low chuckle. “It’s not every day my baby kisses me first. I was savoring the moment.”
Charlotte huffed and turned her head away, refusing to look at him
Are you mad now?” he asked, still smiling.
She kept her face turned to the side, saying nothing. Her silence said everything.
Sean didn’t get annoyed. His eyes were full of affection as he softened his tone and coaxed her. “What should I do? I haven’t had enough. How about you kiss me again? I promise I’ll kiss you back this time.”
“No.”
He let out another low laugh, then gently scooped her up into his arms and walked a few steps before setting her down on the edge of the bed.
In the next moment, Sean knelt before her.
The gesture caught Charlotte off guard. Before she could react, he leaned in and kissed her.
For a split second, her mind went blank.
He was kneeling.
This was the first time she had seen him kiss her from such a vulnerable position–kneeling like someone humbled, begging for
her affection.
For a man like Sean–someone so powerful, always in control–to kneel and ask for a kiss with such tenderness, it was something no woman could resist.
The contrast hit her like a jolt to the heart.
And then came the complete surrender.
“Where did he even learn to kiss like this? How is he so good at it? Charlotte wondered.
His kiss was deep, slow, and full of desire. Though he knelt beneath her, he still led the rhythm with quiet control, guiding her every breath, every movement.
The kiss went on for a long time.
By the time it ended, Charlotte was breathless, her lips swollen and flushed a vivid red.

Sean didn’t stop there. His lips moved from hers to her eyes, then to the curve of her ear, now bright red, and then trailed slowly down to her neck.
The room’s temperature rose rapidly.
His kisses grew softer, more delicate, and his warm breath against her skin made her shiver.
A flush crept up her fair skin. She felt like her blood was on fire.
And just when her emotions peaked, Sean asked in a husky whisper, “Do you want to?”
Just a few words but Charlotte understood exactly what he meant.
Her breathing was hot and uneven. She bit her lip and gave a soft “m” in response.
With her consent, Sean finally moved forward.
It had been more than half a year since they last made love, and their bodies had been craving each other.
Once it began, there was no stopping.
Charlotte was swept into a sea of breathless longing, completely consumed.
Outside, dusk had fallen.
The window was half open, and the warm summer breeze drifted in, lifting the light blue curtain and carrying with it the scent of flowers.
When it was all over,
Charlotte lay still, utterly spent.
Sweat clung to her skin and dampened her hair at the temples. Her entire body was soft and overheated.
Sean brushed her damp hair away from her forehead, pressing a kiss there with a satisfied smile.
He let her rest for a while, holding her close. Then, when she had caught her breath, he carried her into the bathroom to take a
shower.
