The kiss, sweet with a hint of spice, was an exotic thrill.

Raegan's eyes, wide and clear, showed her astonishment, forgetting to pull away. Her mind cleared of everything but the intensity of his kiss. Memories of their past passionate encounters flooded her thoughts...

Her cheeks flushed a deep shade of red. Everything he had said was indeed true... Under his spell, she had let herself go too far...

Mitchel kissed Raegan, feeling the longing he had carried for so long, breathing in the scent of her hair that he found so comforting.

"Mmm..." Raegan started to come back to reality, trying to say no, but instead, her voice sounded more like a sigh, which only encouraged Mitchel more.

Mitchel held her tight, making it hard for her to move or get away.

At first, his intention was to teach her a lesson. He was very sensitive to the smell of pepper, and he figured she must have added a lot, maybe even a whole bottle.

But as the kiss grew more intense, his feelings took over. He found himself wanting to kiss her endlessly.

“Bang!" Suddenly, the door burst open.

Matteo, his throat on fire from the soup, rushed in to tell Mitchel not to try it. He thought Raegan could not have realized she added too much white pepper. But after taking a big sip, it felt Like more than just a little extra. It was as if a whole bottle had been dumped in.

Matteo didn't expect to interrupt a passionate moment. Stunned, he opened his mouth but couldn't find the words, making only incoherent noises.

Mitchel gave Matteo a cold look, quickly covering Raegan's messed-up hair with a jacket from beside the bed.

“Why are you still here?" Mitchel scowled at Matteo, who seemed unusually slow to react today.

Matteo was frozen in place, wanting to leave but hesitated. "Mr. Dixon, your neck..." he said, his voice shaking.

Raegan looked up and noticed Mitchel's neck was bright red, Looking like he was having a severe allergic reaction. She gasped. "Do you have a pepper allergy?"

Mitchel felt his own neck itch uncomfortably.

Matteo quickly added, “It's not just pepper. Mr. Dixon reacts badly to all types of peppercorns." He wouldn't have interrupted if there wasn't a risk of a serious allergic reaction.

Seeing his neck turn red Raegan felt a mix of helplessness and guilt and started to cry. "I had no idea... I added a lot of pepper..

Mitchel tried to calm her down, saying Lightly, “It's alright. Don't worry about it."

Luckily, they were at a hospital.
