Taken aback by the explicitness in his question, Sophia stuttered, “C-Can I not answer this question?”

“We can exchange our secrets. You can ask me the same question later.” His eyes did not waver as if they were locked onto hers.

Her eyes blinked a few times at the suggestion and considered it. In her opinion, it would not be a bad bargain, though.

“All we did was… hold hands. “Sophia decided to give in to the temptation with a lie. She was aware that the most intimate thing she had ever done with a man was sharing a kiss and that happened to be with Arthur. To get the snowball rolling, she would now need to tell more lies to cover up for the first.

He raised his eyebrow with a hint of satisfaction when he heard her answers. “Really?”

“Yeah, I won’t lie.” She kept a straight face even though she was certainly not telling the truth. Remembering her promised right, she tested the waters. “Can I ask you the same question now?”

“Sure.” Sitting down at the bedside, Arthur leaned backward with his elbows on the bed. He then lifted his chin and fixed his gaze on her.

“How many girlfriends have you had before?”

“None at all,” he answered honestly.

However, Sophia did not find it credible and spoke her mind, “I don’t believe any of your words! You must have had many girlfriends before. Isn’t Miss Jennings one of them?”

“I never lie.” His eyes lit up like a torch as unquestionable authority lay underneath them.

She choked on his words with thoughts running through her mind. If he thinks he can fool me…

“Then… How far did you ever go with a woman?” Learning what she wanted to know, she decided to change the topic. Arthur might never have had any serious relationship, but could he say the same about those women whom he had been sleeping with?

“We kissed!” His answer was a surprise to Sophia.

As she was dubious with him, she shot him another question. “With who?”

“You.” Her mind froze as she heard him. answer without hesitation. With a shocked expression, she stared at him while having a hard time believing his words. She could feel the burning sensation on her cheeks as well.

Up until now, he had been only kissing one woman, which was her.

“Stop lying. I have a hard time believing it because you were so good at kissing last time.” Sophia intended to lift the mood by teasing him.

“There are a few things that come naturally to man and one of them is kissing.” However, Arthur was serious with an explanation. A smug smile slowly formed on his face as he explained, “Are you trying to imply I have good kissing skills?”

Warmness crept onto her face as she shook her head hard. “I’m not!” I am not going to stroke his ego!

He squinted at her denial with displeasure. Is she trying to say I lack skill? he wondered.

Suddenly, he rose from the bed with determination and walked toward her. “Why don’t you tell me how I am doing at kissing exactly? I want to know your opinion.”

When she saw him closing their distance, her whole body tensed as she wondered about the reason why he was so bothered by her opinions.

“How can I-” How can I give out opinions regarding this matter? He is only trying to take advantage of me!

Before she could finish her words, Arthur had already closed the distance between them. With his face staying dangerously close to her, his hands cupped her face. “Why don’t you try it again and tell me how you think?”

Right at that moment, he pressed his lips onto hers and began to kiss her.

At first, Sophia was so mad at him, thinking that he was only looking for excuses to kiss her. But soon enough, the woody scent of cedar filled her mind and it became all she could think of.

Sophia’s arms wrapped around his neck reflexively. The thought of Arthur had been on her mind lately and she found herself attracted to him.

She wondered when she had fallen for him. Was it that time when he risked himself to save her at the beach; or the moment he tried to rescue her but ended up rolling down the hill with her; or when he settled her father’s debt?

For her whole life, never had someone sacrificed himself for her like he did aside from her family.

As time passed, the kiss between them became more intense. She could not help but panic as everything was going out of her control. Right now, he was giving off a dangerous vibe as though he could devour her with the kiss.

Sensing that Sophia’s body was tensing under his touch, Arthur let go of her promptly. Emotions were surging in his eyes and his face showed a trace of him restraining himself. Moreover, he felt like his body was burning in a fire and the fire was slowly making its way up to his brain, eating away all his reasons.

The more he tried his moves on her, the more he was confused by the results. At the same time, even if he wanted to trigger a reaction out of her to explore her effect on him, he still did not want to scare her away by making one wrong move.

As the stalemate grew heavier between them, someone rang the bell.

Assuming it was his bodyguard outside with the clean clothes, he turned to open the door. As he expected, standing out there was one of his bodyguards, but Emily stepped into the room with a click of the high heels before the bodyguard could.

As soon as she took in the scene in the bedroom where the occupants were wearing only bathrobes, she turned to

Sophia with gritted teeth and Emily’s body shook uncontrollably as she turned green with envy.

How dare Sophia bring Arthur to mess around in a hotel room!

“Emily? Why’re you here?” Even though

Arthur directed the question to her, his eyes were shooting daggers toward the bodyguard.

The man’s stomach churned at the sight.

In no position to reject Emily’s demand, the bodyguard let her follow along without a second choice.

When Sophia’s eyes met Emily’s gaze, she noted instantly that Emily had misunderstood the situation and was now mad at her.

Even more, it was a huge misunderstanding.

“Wait outside, we’re changing.” With a deep voice, Arthur instructed Emily.

Emily was full of resentment as she eyed Sophia one last time before exiting.

At last, Sophia swapped her attire with clean clothes. They even brought me the underclothes, she thought. It must be Emily’s servant who prepared for me.

After changing, they made their way back to the villa.

In the car, Sophia took the passenger seat while Emily and Arthur sat at the back seats. As they did not bother to make any conversation along the trip, there was a heavy silence hanging in the air.

Suddenly, the car came to a hard stop and Emily seized the opportunity to fall into Arthur’s arms. “Ah!”

Just as Sophia turned to check on them. Emily’s upper body was already leaning feebly into Arthur’s chest.

“Sit tight.” Arthur helped her into a sitting position.

“But I’m feeling dizzy! Artie, let me lean on you, please!” Emily refused to wait for his reply and clung to him with great force.

Fixing her gaze on the road, Sophia tried her best not to check on the commotion at the backseats.
