Nathaniel's movements were a little too rough, and he accidentally bumped Vera's injured hand. She couldn't stop a pained whimper from escaping her lips. In the charged darkness of the secluded alley, that sound held an ineffable allure.
Hearing that sound, Nathaniel felt a hot rush surge through him. He fought back the urge to pin her down and kiss her madly, letting out a soft snort as he released her.
His eyesight was far superior to the average person's, allowing him to clearly see every expression on her face even in the dim alley.
She was staring at him with glistening eyes, her lips slightly swollen from the kiss, looking luscious and vibrantly red.
The sight of her made him feel like every cell in his body was screaming at him to pounce. He barely managed to hold back, turning his head away. He slung his bag over his shoulder and started walking out of the alley.
