Chapter 53 - Kiss Me

Eros traced his steps towards Selene who looked like sleeping on the soft couch. He planned on waking her up.

'Argh! You are always a troublesome woman. You are not supposed to sleep here. If you are sleepy then you should tell Renz so that he can drive you back at home.'

Upon reaching her spot, Eros leaned over, tapping Selene's shoulder to wake her up.

"Selene… Selene... wake up!"

Selene's eyebrow knitted into a frown when she heard someone calling her out. Then she felt a warm hand patting her shoulders. She growled but didn't open her eyes yet.

'These hands… they are so warm.' Selene thought to herself. She felt so cold outside but she was burning hot inside because of the alcohol she drank.

She caught Eros's hands and placed them into her cold reddened face. 

"Hmmm, so warm… I like it," Selene murmured in her half-conscious and half-unconscious state.

Eros sighed helplessly while staring at Selene's beautiful face. "I told you. You would feel cold out here."

This time Eros tried to pinch her two cheeks and make his voice a little louder to wake her up.

"Come on, Selene! Wake up! Don't sleep around here! Let's go back inside the hotel!"

Upon hearing that deep magical voice of her cupid, Selene finally opened her eyes and a handsome silver-gray-haired man with ocean-like blue eyes greeted her sight.

Her eyes lingered on his gorgeous face for several seconds as if she was trying to capture every little and prominent feature of his looks, storing and engraving them in her mind.

Eros also paused for a moment, just staring at her brown beautiful mesmerizing eyes. They just stared at each other as if they were having a staring contest as of this moment.

It did not take long when Eros noticed something. 'What's wrong with her eyes? They look puffy and red. Did she cry?' he marveled at that thought.

Eros was lost in his thoughts when suddenly Selene reached out, cupping his face. Then a charming smile worked its way across her face and into her tantalizing brown eyes.

"Hello, handsome…" she giggled.

Eros: "..."

He was rendered speechless when he heard that word coming from Selene.

'Handsome? Did I hear it right? She just called me handsome, not cute. Don't tell me… She is seeing my adult form AGAIN??!' Eros's eyes widened in realization. 

No matter how hard he tried to rack his brain so hard, he couldn't fathom how Selene could see his adult form right now though he was using his magic to look like a child in front of her.

Eros had not recovered yet from that realization when Selene had spoken something again that made Eros almost lose his wits.

"Kiss me… Mr. Handsome Stranger."

Eros: "..."

Eros's eyes grew wider and his jaw dropped the moment her last words registered into his brain.

'K-Kiss her??? What the hell is wrong with her? Why is she saying this? Wait… is she drunk?'

Eros was about to ask her but she drew his face to her, pressing her open mouth against his lips, muffling his words.

At that certain moment, Eros felt like the time had stopped… everything around him had stopped and become invisible. All he could see was Selene… and all he could feel was her soft lips pressing against his lips.

He literally froze in his spot, holding his breath, his eyes unblinking. Damn! He couldn't believe that this was happening. They were kissing… for real and… for the first time! 

This was her first kiss and definitely… as in... definitely Eros's first kiss too! 

Eros had seen lots of human couples kissing before but this was the first time he experienced it firsthand. It gave him unfamiliar yet wonderful feelings he had never felt before.

But this first kiss seemed so awkward and weird. Their lips were just pressed to each other. No one was moving between them. Indeed, both of them didn't know how to kiss as this was their first time.

After a few seconds, Selene withdrew her lips. Her eyebrows were drawn together into a frown.

"Mr. handsome? Is this your first time kissing someone too? Why are you not moving? A guy should be the one leading the girl." Selene complained to him, pouting her lips.

Eros: "..."

"It's my first time so I don't know if I'm doing this kiss right. Could this be considered a kiss or we should do something more than pressing our lips together?" Selene spoke bluntly in her drunken state.

Eros didn't know what to say. He was at a loss for words. Selene was giving him one shock after another. His heart just went crazy, racing rapidly inside his chest! He didn't know how to slow it down.

Since Eros remained silent, Selene continued speaking.

"My fiancee kissed another woman aside from me. He already had a first kiss. He even kissed my best friend already. But for me…? I never kissed anyone yet because I planned on giving my first kiss to my husband… and that husband is my fiancee." Selene started venting out her frustration.

"Too conservative right? I am just a boring girl, no wonder I can't make him fall for me. I'm not his type! He likes a bolder woman who already has experience in bed just like my best friend!!!"

Selene let out a soft giggle. She was laughing but her eyes were shedding tears.

"Life is so unfair to me, right? Hmm, so this time I want to be a bad girl to get even with him! I will not give him my first kiss! So I gave it to you!"

Selene giggled once more.

Eros's face darkened as he clenched his fists. He could see it. He could feel it… Selene was in so much pain right now.

This time Eros was the one who made a move. He took a step to close the gap between them. He leaned down, lifting her chin… and they were kissing again. Just like Selene wanted, Eros took the lead.
