Chapter 34

Lily didn’t know how to process what just happened. This was her first kiss—across both of her lives—and it had left her completely breathless. Her cheeks were flushed, her heart raced uncontrollably, and her mind felt like it had short-circuited.
She stood frozen, dazed and unable to speak, her wide eyes unconsciously glued to the man standing in front of her. Ethan’s broad chest and defined abs were right before her, and it didn’t help that he wasn’t wearing a shirt. The sight of his chiseled body made her thoughts scatter like leaves in the wind.
Ethan noticed her lingering gaze and the faint upward curl of his lips betrayed his amusement. “Lily, do you think I’m attractive?” he asked teasingly.
