Chapter 2087
Night of Destiny
âLetâs enjoy the fireworks here,â the man suggested. âSure!â Josephine didnât want to leave either.
Josephine gazed at the fireworks, so entranced by them that she didnât even blink. She failed to notice
that the man next to her was scooting closer.
By the time Josephine finally sensed it, she turned to see the handsome face inches away from hers.
Ethanâs arm had also extended around her shoulders without her realizing it. They were so close that
they could feel each otherâs breaths.
Josephineâs heart skipped a beat. Whatâs going on? she thought. Her mind went slightly blank. She
knew it was extremely suggestive, but she was so absorbed in the moment that she didnât want to push
him away.
Also, as the fireworks were reflected in the manâs eyes, it was as soul-stirring as the galaxy. She was
deeply enchanted as if she were under a spell.
Ethan edged closer, meaning to test her response. He soon found that Josephine wasnât moving away;
he felt as if she was encouraging and welcoming him instead.
Ethan swallowed seductively, then pressed his thin lips against Josephineâs. It was so soft that he felt
like his entire body had gotten an electric shock. Greed filled him in that instant, and he desired even
more.
Josephine felt like the fireworks had exploded inside her brain too, and her mind turned completely
blank. Hm? I donât hate it, she realized. I never thought a manâs lips would be this soft.
Josephine was quite particular about hygiene, especially when it came to physical contact. with people
of the opposite gender. However, strangely enough, she didnât mind Ethan that much, and she even
thought he smelled good.
Ethanâs hand snaked up behind her head and held it gently. With a slight force, he pushed her against
him so that the kiss was no longer just a graze. The man was exploring according to his own wishes.
âMm Josephine let out a small moan as she ignored the danger signals in her brain. She realized that
she liked the kiss. It was refreshing and something she had never experienced before, so it implored
her to explore even further.
Finally, when the kiss got too embarrassing for Josephine, she reached out and pushed him away. She
looked away and panted slightly. Ethan curved his thin lips subtly, his eyes colored with unfulfilled
desire. âAhem! Josephine held her fist to her mouth. and coughed on purpose to relieve the
awkwardness. âUm⦠we should head back.â
âDonât you want to stay a while longer?â Ethan had no intention of going back just like that. âI⦠I have
to go back and pack my things. Iâll be going back to the city for work tomorrow morning.â Josephine
found a random excuse.
Ethan glanced at the time. âItâs only 8.30PM. The night is still young.â Josephine was speechless.
Couldnât this man see that she was getting awkward already? She wasnât good at kissing strangers at
all.
Wait, is he good at kissing strangers? Does he bring pretty girls to his private boat often, then seduce
them with his charm? As soon as the thought occurred to her, Josephine woke up from her trance.
She had to treat that kiss seriously. If not, the man might think she was an easy woman. âMr. Quarles,
itâs getting late. Please send me back,â said Josephine sternly.
Ethan was slightly stunned. Why was she suddenly demanding to go back? Wasnât the atmosphere
perfect just now? âWhatâs wrong? Did I upset you without realizing it?â Ethan immediately straightened
up and asked her curiously. He couldnât help but feel reluctant to leave. âWonât you stay a while longer
with me?â
However, Josephine was determined to go back. âWhy donât you send me back, then go back out to
sea if youâd like?â Ethan was bewildered. Without her by his side, what fun was there to have out on the
sea alone?
âAlright, Iâll take you back.â Ethan took out his phone and contacted the people in the control. room to
head back to the pier. Josephine bit her red lips. Just then, the inertial from the boat turning around
suddenly sent Josephine crashing against the man.
âAh!â Josephine shrieked, then instinctively reached out to grab the manâs shoulders. Due to the force,
Ethanâs body tilted, but he managed to regain balance as he pulled Josephine into his embrace. In that
instant, the two fell into a suggestive pose on the couch.
