Raegan did not dwell on it for too long. Having been intimate with Mitchel before, she believed it would not be too difficult to do it again.

If he broke his word, she could dismiss it as a one-night stand. But if he honored his promise, she would be free of him for good.

With this thought, Raegan's hesitation vanished. She pursed her lips and declared, "I believe you because you once promised not to lie to me again."

In her mind, this trick might stop Mitchel from breaking his promise yet again.

If he ever thought of going back on his word, he would remember the very promise he had made to her.

Although unsure if it was her imagination, Raegan sensed Mitchel's dismay at her decision, perhaps even anger.

This intuition was later proved correct.

Before kissing her, Mitchel stated, "It's too late for regrets now."

His wet lips pried open her mouth and captured her soft tongue.

Their tongues entwined in what looked like a fiery dance.

It was as if Mitchel wanted to devour her.

Raegan's tongue grew numb, and her hand trembled involuntarily.

The rose petals beneath her were flattened on Raegan's back, releasing an intoxicating scent.

At this moment, Mitchel's hot breath enveloped her, and his actions seemed deliberate, almost torturous.

He kissed her lips, and then trailed down...

His lips grazed her chin, lingered on her collarbone, and finally settled on the sensitive spot of her neck.

Raegan trembled and felt a little regret for her inability to stop him. After this, she did not want to go through this again.

But her resolve wavered as Mitchel's lips moved, leaving her breathless.

Suddenly, a noise came at the door, startling Raegan.

Mitchel frowned, not at the noise but at Raegan's reaction, which nearly made him relent.
