Chapter 20 Heat

• Leah’s POV
• One memory after another started flooding back the moment Lucian kissed me. It wasn’t just a kiss—it was something more. It felt like a jolt of electricity surging through me, lighting up every nerve in my body. A strange, tingling sensation spread from my lips, traveling down my spine and radiating outward. I shivered under his touch, my skin hypersensitive to everything he was doing. But it wasn’t just physical. It was like something deep inside me stirred to life—a swirling, fluttery feeling that settled in my stomach and wouldn’t go away.
• Then, out of nowhere, his hand slid up and cupped my breast. The suddenness of it caught me off guard, making my breath hitch. I froze for a second, unsure of how to react. But at the same time, it felt oddly familiar, like this wasn’t the first time he had touched me like this. That thought didn’t make sense. I knew this was the first time we’d met. The first time anything like this had happened between us. And yet… there was this undeniable feeling, as though this had all happened before.
