Chapter 115 Kiss
Josie’s eyes widened in shock as his words registered. She slowly backed away from him.
Dexter swiftly pulled her close to him again, pushing her hair behind her ears. His warm lips brushed against her cold earlobes.
“A woman can steal a man’s heart by playing the innocent yet alluring temptress. She may tremble in fear but hide it with a confident smile. A single tear or drop of blood is all it takes to make him lose his mind.”
His voice was still gravelly, but she could feel the warmth of his body as he leaned in close. Through a veil of smoke, she admired his rugged yet handsome features.
With his physical features, he could captivate any woman in the world.
Are you one of them too?”
“No. You’re the only person who can make me feel like I’m losing my mind.”
Josie took a deep breath. She had always thought that physical appearance was the most crucial thing in love, but Dexter made her realize that there was more to it than that. It was difficult not to fall for him.
Dexter let go of his hands, and the coat she had on her legs fell to the ground, revealing her pale skin to his gaze.
His eyebrows furrowed as his eyes widened in surprise.
Josie leaned in close and kissed him, her lips soft and warm against his. As they kissed, they felt a spark of electricity between them, and their hearts pounded in their chests.
He was taken aback by her bravery that he could barely move. Only the warmth of her lips against his reminded him that this was real.
Josie was lost in the kiss and didn’t know how long they had been kissing. She wanted to pull away and talk, but she felt his strong hand on her waist, pulling her closer. This time, it was Dexter who took control. His lips were on hers, demanding and insistent
The smell of smoke on his breath traveled into her mouth. The sound of their kiss shattered the silence of the room as their lips continued to meet.
Josie was overwhelmed by Dexter’s kiss. He was so strong and passionate; she almost forgot to breathe.
Dexter’s touch was like a fire, burning her skin and setting her heart ablaze. The moment his tongue touched hers, she felt a shiver run down her spine. Her heart was pounding so hard, she thought it might burst out of her chest.
She moaned against him, “Dexter… I…
After two minutes, Dexter finally pulled away. He rested his forehead on hers, their breaths coming quick gasps. He pulled her hair, lifting her head and locking his eyes with hers. “Who gave you such courage?”

Josie smirked, feeling contented as she whispered, “Mr. Russell, Dexter Russell, you finally caved in.
She trailed her fingers down his neck, feeling the hard ridge of his Adam’s apple against her soft skin.
She dedicated herself to achieving the outcome she desired.
“Do you know what you looked like just now?” Dexter stared at her eyes. “An alluring fox.”
Josie didn’t reply. Instead, she asked him, “Was that the third time?”
He kept quiet.
“I believe it wasn’t only an instant that I made you lose your mind.” Josie’s smile widened, and her soft hands slowly trailed to his waist. It made them seem like they had gone beyond a simple kiss.
Dexter grabbed her hands and pushed them away. “It’s a man’s natural instinct.”
Josie believed that he had already broken down his walls when he kissed her back. Her heart pounded faster as she revealed his vulnerable and authentic self, a different side from the perfect and untouchable man she assumed him to be.
Dexter’s lips were still glistening from their kiss, softening the hard lines of his face. She couldn’t look away. You broke Mr. Lane’s hand because you like me, and you rushed over here after your meeting because you care about my safety. Is that right?”
Dexter pulled away from her. “Josie, none of that is true.”
Josie’s once reserved and obedient demeanor was replaced by an air of confidence and coyness. It was as if this were her true colors.
