Claudia scrambled off his lap with excitement.

“I can't wait to try one!

She couldn't recall exactly when it started, but Bennett always made a point to purchase mango-flavored candies for her as gifts whenever he was back from a business trip.

As she quickly approached her vanity table, her gaze immediately fell on a candy box resting on it.

Her eyes lit up, and she quickened her pace towards the box.

When she reached the dresser, Claudia noticed that besides the box of mango candies, there was also a jewelry box.

A look of surprise crossed her face, quickly followed by a smile. She reached for the box of mango candies first, unwrapping one and popping it into her mouth.

As Claudia was looking at the jewelry box, Bennett snuggled up behind her. "Is it delicious?" he asked in a low voice.

The candy had a slightly tart edge that caused her mouth to water. She turned to face Bennett and replied, “It's a bit sour but still delicious."

Claudia innocently assumed that Bennett just wanted to try the candy and remained unaware of the intense desire that had ignited within him. She plucked another from the box and extended it to him.

“Would you like to try one?"

Bennett's thoughts, however, were far from the mango candies. His gaze traced the contours of her rosy lips, and he swallowed hard.

“May 1?"

Claudia casually shrugged.

“Why not?” It was only candy, after all. She wasn't one to be stingy!

Bennett leaned in. "Allow me a taste then," he murmured, his voice low and husky.

A sudden warmth tingled at the nape of her neck, and a delicious heat surged within her stomach. Before she knew it, Claudia found herself enveloped in Bennett's embrace.

The next moment, his Lips pressed against hers. Following that initial burst of sourness, the mango candy left behind a delectably sweet and tangy mango flavor that lingered on her tongue.

Their passionate kisses diluted the candy’s sourness and sweetness. The mango essence on her taste buds mingled with the faint hint of peppermint on Bennett's Lips, leaving her alert and breathless.

In a sudden move, Bennett pulled away. The taste of Claudia's candy was on his lips.

She Looked at him in shock, unable to believe he had just stolen the candy from her mouth.

“How could you?" she asked, her voice barely above a whisper.

He was so shameless!

With a slow, seductive curl of his lips, Bennett used his tongue to push the candy into his mouth. He enjoyed the sweet and sour sensations on his tongue while his eyes locked on Claudia's. The taste of the candy brought a smile to his Lips, and his dark eyes sparkled with delight. "It is indeed delicious."
