But there was a height difference—twenty centimeters to be exact. And she was in her slippers. Straining upwards, she could just barely touch his lips.

To make this kiss possible, she tiptoed.

Her plan was a quick kiss and then an escape. However, the man embracing her didn't share the same thought.

He wasn't about to let her go after a mere kiss.

What a story that would make, too silly to even share with others!

Bennett's arms firmed around her, one hand securing her waist and the other cradling the back of her head, ensuring she couldn't pull away.

His thin Lips opened at the gap between her red lips. When Claudia was pressed back, her lips were sucked.

He nibbled on her lower lip, stirring a tingling sensation in her heart. Claudia's legs grew weak, and her mouth was engulfed by his tongue.

The dubious and erotic sound of their kiss was heard in the quiet piano room. The hot breathing of the two people intertwined, and Claudia only felt that her breath came in short pants.

She felt as if there were a drummer in her heart, the beat growing more frantic with every second.

The large hand on her waist appeared unsatisfied with its position.

It ventured beneath her clothes, slipping through the fabric with determination.

His touch was like a spark, dry and warm. When he touched her breasts without any hindrance, Claudia trembled.

The unexpected moan caught both Claudia and Bennett off guard.

Her groan, similar to a kitten's meow, made Bennett's heart melt.

Startled by her own shameful moan, Claudia hastily shoved Bennett back, dodging his lips as she murmured, "If we don't head down, Marcia might come Looking for us."

Bennett's eyes landed on the flushed face of the woman he held, causing him to gulp involuntarily. He raised his hand, gently correcting her messy hair.

Observing that his large hand was about to slip through the opening of her clothes, Claudia swiftly pulled his hand and stammered, "I...

I can manage on my own!"

With that, she pushed him aside, spun around, adjusted her bra, and straightened her belt.

Her face resembled a ripe tomato.

She turned around to face him, but he remained remarkably composed.

Claudia thought it was utterly unfair. Looking at the slight part in his collar revealing his collarbone, she gritted her teeth.

Next time, she'd definitely give it a playful bite.
