Chapter 19

Belle's POV

He thightened his grip on my arm but I didn't flinch, only determined to stay and help him.

My hand was against his back, patting with the intent of bringing his heartbeat and breath back to normal.

He stared at me, with those beautiful eyes of his and instead of asking me to leave like he had done the previous time, I found him staring at my lips and leaning forward.

Something spoke to me to move away from him and leave the room. To not further complicate our situation and relationship, but his eyes were more compelling than the voice in my head.

When his lips touched mine, I didn't move, only felt. His grip on my arms softened as he deepened the kiss, his tongue doing the magic in my mouth.

It was like a trance. I no longer controlled my mind. I only allowed him to lead while I followed.

The kiss ended and I felt his eyes on me even though mine were still closed.

"The sleep disorder is not gone, Christian." I said immediately I regained my breath. It wasn't a question.
