Chapter 50 Rooftop Rendezvous 2

• Catherine's heart raced, and a blush spread across her cheeks. King Shawn's words, ‘Can I kiss you?’ seemed to echo within her, awakening a dormant passion she had long suppressed.
• At that moment, time appeared to stand still. The air crackled with anticipation as they stood amid their arching desires. This time, it was Catherine who took a step closer, closing the gap between them. Her gaze locked with Shawn’s as the intensity between them grew palpable.
• Right now, it was as if she wanted the kiss even more than he who asked for it. Her own heart ached with longing like never before. She was certain of her feelings and knew she wanted the kiss just as much as he did.
