DAGON MANSION

CHAPTER THIRTY-ONE: SCARLETT IN DANGER

Mia recognized Ryan's desperation. She was happy internally. She stated:

"You are jealous, Ryan. And, did you know? I'm happy. Because you now realize how I felt after you married Theolinda. This kiss was unimportant. But how do you suppose I feel when I imagine you kissing or having sex with Theolinda?"

Ryan replied in a quiet tone:

"Mia, I can't stand anyone else touching you."

With anger in her eyes, she stated:

"I can't stand you touching Theolinda either."

They stood close enough to feel each other's breath. Mia put her hands on Ryan's chest, feeling the rise and fall of his breath. His lips were so close to hers, as if reaching out to her. His eyes captured her, and she felt as if she were standing on the edge of a cliff, about to fall.

Her lips parted slightly, letting her breath mix with Ryan's. The space between their lips felt like a million murmured secrets that should never have been shared.

Their kiss was intense and lingering, filled with desire and sensuality. It was not only physical. Their entire soul was in harmony. They felt a deep connection as their souls harmonized. With each passing second, the kiss grew more passionate. They are both lost in a sea of sensations. They could feel the warmth of each other's breath, the quiver of their lips, and the power of their embrace. It appeared that time had stopped and the world had collapsed. Mia and Ryan were the only people in the universe, and their love was everything at the time. But Mia abruptly halted the surge of passion between them.

"I love you forever, Ryan, and this kiss confirmed all I already knew. But now we have more important subjects to discuss. We need to talk about our kid and how we can help her."

Ryan responded calmly:

"You're right."
