Marrying A Secret Zillionaire Happy Ever After

Chapter 69 Do You Believe

Me Now

Linsey's already uneasy expression froze, her body stiffening even more.

The memory of their closeness in the study resurfaced instantly, and a fresh wave of embarrassment swept through her.

She hesitated, then blurted out, stubbornly, "W-what? Of course I've kissed others before."

Collin studied her flushed, delicate face, his sharp gaze catching the way she faltered. A knowing smirk tugged at his lips.

She was lying, and not very well.

After a brief pause, his voice took on a meaningful lilt. "I've never been in a relationship before. That was my first time kissing a woman, and now my first kiss is gone-just like that. What a tragedy." His sigh was deliberate, his tone almost teasing. "So tell me, how do you plan to make it up to me?"

Linsey's eyes widened, her lips parting slightly as she scrambled for words. She knew Collin had never been with anyone before-never dated, never kissed.

But they hadn't even kissed due to his subordinate's interruption.

And what did he mean by making it up to him? If they had kissed, then it would be her first kiss, too!

So why did he make it sound like his first kiss was more precious than hers?

Her thoughts spiraled, but before she could untangle them, Collin suddenly leaned in, his lips brushing against the shell of her ear. His voice dropped to a near whisper.

"That wasn't much of a kiss, just the lightest touch. It hardly counts. So tell me..." His breath fanned against her skin.

"Should we try again?"

Her pulse spiked, and she instinctively glanced around. "But... what if someone sees us? You should let me up."

A faint, knowing smile played at the corners of Collin's lips as he murmured, "Relax. The butler already saw you sitting on

my lap. He'll make sure the staff stays away."

Then his gaze dropped to her parted lips, his expression darkening slightly, though his tone carried the weight of feigned disappointment. "Or..." His voice was softer now, almost challenging. "Do you find me repulsive? Is that why you don't

want to get close to me?"

She spoke up quickly, her voice filled with urgency. "That's not true! I don't find you repulsive at all. Don't think that way."

Collin slowly lifted his head, his usually unreadable eyes now betraying a flicker of uncertainty.

As their gazes met, a strange ache settled in her chest.

She could tell-he was feeling insecure again.

Chapter 69 Do You Believe Me Now

A quiet sigh seemed to escape him as he loosened his hold on her and turned away. "You should go. I was too abrupt."

Panic surged through her.

She didn't find him repulsive-far from it. She didn't even mind being this close to him. If anything... she might even like

1. it.

She was just nervous.

Collin had no experience with dating; he didn't realize that her hesitation wasn't rejection-it was just shyness.

"I told you already. I don't find you repulsive," she insisted, her voice firm.

But his expression remained unchanged, his doubt lingering.

She hesitated for a brief moment. Then, deciding that words weren't enough, she grabbed his collar and kissed him.

The second their lips met, a jolt of surprise shot through her.

It was nothing like she had imagined. Her fingers clutched the fabric of his shirt while her free arm curled around his neck.

Without thinking, she bit his lip lightly-only to realize just how soft and sweet his lips were, like jelly. But what made her

heart pound even harder was the heat radiating from them.

Her breath hitched. She instinctively licked the spot where she had bitten, but now that she had done it, she wasn't surenoveldrama

what to do next.

A nervous gulp slid down her throat as she pressed her lips together.

That tiny movement shifted something in him. His eyes, already dark, grew even heavier, as if something had awakened in

them.

She pulled away just slightly, her voice barely above a whisper. "I don't find you repulsive. Do you believe me now?"
