Chapter 636
He turned and gazed at her for what felt like ages. Eventually, he couldn't help himself and edged closer, bit by bit. As he drew near, he caught a whiff of her scent. It wasn't the kind you'd find in men's cologne. Instead, it was a delicate floral aroma with a hint of tobacco. Surprisingly pleasant.
His fingers brushed against Cassie's cheek. They were warm, just as he'd imagined. His skin was smooth and soft, almost like a woman's. Just like something out of a novel, his skin was like creamy silk. How could a guy have such flawless skin?
Winston's fingers gently traced down Cassie's cheek, stopping at her cherry-red lips. Her lips were incredibly red, not just vibrant but also dewy, like glistening jelly or ripe summer strawberries. That vivid color held a kind of dangerous allure, as if waiting to be picked.
Something stirred in Winston's heart. He wasn't sure what he was thinking. His lips inched closer on their own. His heart pounded wildly. He knew exactly what he was doing, but couldn't-and didn't want to stop. It was as if a strange desire was pulling him in.

Cassie, sensing something in her sleep, groggily opened her eyes and rubbed them, still half-asleep. "Winston, are we home yet?" she mumbled. Winston stared at her like she was a creature from another world, then abruptly flung open the car door and bolted out.
Once inside, a loud crash echoed.

her—what was up with that?
Cassie got out of the car and jogged to the house, determined to get some answers. But she found that Winston had locked the door from the inside.
