Perfect Mysterious Husband (Maddox and Kimberly)

Chapter 1686



Talk a load of bull? That was not necessarily true.

However, Mashauva's back was against the tree trunk, and she was feeling somewhat flustered.

What was Bruno trying to do?

"Why aren't you talking anymore?"

Seeing her leaning against the tree trunk dumbfoundedly, Bruno leaned in, his warm breath brushing against her face as she stammered nervously, "I..."

Bruno noticed the tear streaks on her face as he leaned in, slowly lowering his head and placed a kiss on it. Struck speechless, Mashauva subconsciously grabbed his sleeves tightly.

"Scared?"

Mashauva was so nervous that she didn't know what to say. It was what she had wanted, but she was already nervous when he was only kissing her tear stains.

She could feel Bruno kissing away the tear stains on her face bit by bit.

"I-I'm not."

Since she was the one who brought it up, she had to bear the consequences.

Moreover, she had indeed hoped to take their relationship to the next level.

"This is what you wanted."

"Yes, I was the one who said that. So what..."

Before she could finish her words, the softness of Bruno's lips that had been lingering on her face was now on her lips, rendering her astounded. In an instant, countless fireworks exploded in her mind.

So this was what kissing felt like.

At first, Bruno's kiss was just a soft touch, and the kiss soon grew into something gentle but dominating. Then, Bruno's tongue thrust around her lips, prying them open, wantonly barging in.

Mashauva started having difficulty breathing, subliminally pushing him but to no avail. It was only then she realized how dominating he could be, his usual gentleness, a fagade.

Her strength, compared to his, was like an ant pushing a tree trunk.

Their lips locked against each other for an interminable time before Bruno moved away, pressing his forehead against hers.

"Do you still think I don't like you?"

Mashauva was all curled up into a ball right then.

Made self-conscious by his question, she tucked herself into his embrace.

Bruno chuckled as he pulled her into his arms.

Boom!

Fireworks exploded in the distance, and the crowd in the square began to cheer; the fireworks and fountains had been set off. Mashauva peeked up from Bruno's arms.

As they were behind the tree, they could only see the fireworks through the leaves.

The fireworks had already started? But didn't Bruno say it would take at least another half an hour?

So did that mean they had kissed for half an hour?

Half an hour?!

She blushed instantly again, recalling how Bruno took control from the very beginning and even lasted so long.

They had been kissing for so long!

No wonder she felt dizzy, as if she was deprived of oxygen.

"Do you want to watch the fireworks here or back at the square?" Bruno's voice rang from the top of her head. "If we watch from here, we can only see the fireworks; we won't be able to see the fountain."

Mashauva wanted to look at the fountain show, but she was still too self-conscious to be amongst the crowd. She shook her head. "I want to stay here."

Only then she realized her voice was hoarse and cracked; reflexively covering her mouth, she discovered her lips were swollen too.NôvelDrama.Org holds text © rights.

Pleased by her genuine reaction

Bruno chuckled, his laughter music to her ears. "You really don't want to go? It's a once-in-a-year event. You'll have to wait till next year if we don't go now."

Mashauva covered her mouth and said nothing.

"Hmm?" Bruno nudged his forehead against hers. Mashauva snorted. "I'm staying!"

"Are you angry again? Is it because I didn't perform well just now?"

Bruno pulled her wrist down and gave her a peck on the lips. With that, she hurriedly pressed the other hand against his chest, stopping him. "No, no more kisses. My lips are swollen."

"Yeah, I know."

"Then, we'll stay for a while more before we head back?"

Mashauva could only nod; there were no other programs on the square.

Although she said she wanted to watch the fireworks, her mind was a mess thanks to their kiss and Bruno's presence right next to her.

It wasn't long before Mashauva suggested they head back.

"Alright."

After sending her back, Mashauva didn't even say a word of goodbye to Bruno, running away as soon as she left his car. He couldn't help but laugh, looking at the girl as she staggered into the night.

He was in no hurry to leave, parking the car there for quite some time before he took out his phone and sent a message to Mashauva.

"Sleep early. I'll pick you up tomorrow morning."

Bruno had initially wanted to stay out with her until midnight, but she got shy and wanted to leave early, so he decided not to force it on her as he knew he got a little out of control.

She had only asked for a kiss, and he could've just done so.

However, he couldn't hold himself back and kissed her for nearly half an hour.

Just like what Freddy said before, "If you like her, you can't stop yourself from wanting to kiss her." Bruno had never thought about it at that time, but that night...

With that in mind, Bruno leaned back. Closing his eyes, he pinched his glabella for some time before he moved his fingertip down to his lips, smiling. Mashauva's lips were indeed much softer than his.

After Mashauva went home, she ran

straight to her room and locked herself in after closing the door. She didn't switch the lights on, and she could hear her breathing and heartbeat in the dark.

What happened earlier was beyond what she was able to accept.

She touched her lips and blinked.

The whole night, Bruno's breath and lips filled Mashauva's dreams. She tossed and turned in bed, unable to fall asleep.

As soon as she closed her eyes, she would see Bruno; even his voice rang in her ears.

Just like that, she tossed and turned in bed until the clock struck twelve and her phone pinged.

Mashauva picked it up and took a look.

It was a message from Bruno.

"Happy New Year."

She glanced at the time and found that it was exactly midnight.

Smiling, she replied immediately.

"Happy New Year."

Happy New Year, dear boyfriend!

Mashauva added in her heart. The person she thought she would never end up with had become her boyfriend. In the past, she was insecure about

her relationship with Bruno, finding it surreal.

But after that night, every last bit of the insecurity vanished, and she had absolute trust in him.

Although it was just a kiss and seemed too insignificant, it was already more than enough for someone as cold and restrained as Bruno.
