"You said you used to confidently kiss so many people," Duncan raised an eyebrow and let out a soft chuckle at my flustered expression. "So why are you suddenly so timid with me, hmm?"
My heart raced, and my cheeks flushed a deep red, yet my eyes couldn't leave his lips. Yes, I had kissed so many people before, but why did it feel so difficult now?!
His sharp gray eyes followed my every movement, and then he pulled me closer by the waist, startling me.
"So, are you just going to keep staring, or are you going to kiss me?"
