The Genius Ex-Wife’s Revenge Portfolio novel Chapter 394

His lips were cool and soft, and kissing him felt surprisingly good. Lilly had never done this before, but she’d watched people kiss in movies and secretly wondered what it would be like. She never thought it would feel so right.

Jace stood perfectly still, tense, and didn’t even close his eyes. He noticed Lilly’s eyes were wide open too, sparkling with innocence and curiosity. Maybe it was just that age, when teens started to get curious about love and wanted to experience things for themselves, especially with someone they liked. There was a mix of nervousness and boldness in it all.

She pressed her lips gently against his. After a moment, she parted them a little and brushed the corner of his mouth. A strange, warm feeling rushed up through him, and he felt his cheeks burn.

Lilly’s arms were still looped around his neck, their bodies so close together that she quickly noticed something had changed with him.

She frowned and asked, “What’s going on with you?”

Her hand started to drift lower, but Jace caught her slender wrist, holding it in place. “Lilly, is this enough?”

His face was as cold and unreadable as ever, not a hint of emotion breaking through. But Lilly wasn’t scared at all. She slipped her hand from his grasp and shook her head. “Not enough.”

He met her eyes. “Then what do you want?”

She pulled out her phone, opened her messages, and held it out. “Here’s my number. Add my contact right now.”

Jace raised an eyebrow, clearly thinking she was pushing her luck. “Are you serious?”

“If you add me, we’re even for today. No one owes anyone anything,” Lilly replied, not missing a beat.

He hesitated, then pulled out his own phone and saved her number.

Lilly’s profile picture was a selfie at sunset. Her small face was lit up by a sweet, gentle smile. A few strands of dark hair framed her cheeks, and the whole photo just felt soft and pretty. She really was beautiful.
