Chapter 160

Cassandra froze for a second, instinctively pushing against his chest, trying to break free. But Damien wasn’t giving her the chance to escape. He leaned back into the couch, and Cassandra, unprepared, ended up falling right onto him. From the outside, it almost looked like she was the one making a bold move on him. His hand pressed the back of her head and his lips landed on hers—soft, warm, lingering. The way he held her down was smooth, like he knew exactly how to keep her from getting away. The kiss was gentle, slow, and clearly inexperienced, not like someone well-versed in this stuff—but somehow, it still made her head spin. Back in her past life, even though she had been engaged to Ethan, they hadn’t even kissed on the lips before—just light pecks on the cheek or forehead at most. That kind of innocent. But now, Damien had just kissed her. Forcefully. And it was her first real kiss. She was still reeling from the shock, completely thrown off by how intense and dizzying it felt.
