He smiled ruefully and said, "You are quite fascinating. I couldn't help myself and I apologize again."

She shrugged and said, "It's fine, but what was that? I asked for a kiss, not for you to suffocate me to death. Is that how it usually is?" She looked at him with curiosity in her eyes.

Although he couldn't see her facial expression clearly he felt that she was serious and sighed. He said, "Yes, Lucia, that's how grown adults do it. Let's do this. How about you try it yourself? I'm just going to remain in this position. How does that sound?"

She nodded and said, "OK, that doesn't sound too bad." She moved one arm around his waist and stretched her other hand behind his head, trying to imitate his actions.

He raised his eyebrows and asked with amusement, "What are you doing?"

She said simply, "Trying to kiss you back. Can you bend a bit? You are quite tall. I can't reach the back of your head."

He couldn't help but burst into laughter. He lowered his head to her shoulder and laughed uncontrollably, shaking with mirth. She felt his breath tickle her neck and wondered what she had done wrong.

He stayed on her shoulder for a while, still chuckling. Then he moved away and straightened up, wiping his eyes.

Lucia pouted, feeling wronged. Why was he laughing when she was just doing the same thing he did? She saw that he had calmed down and asked indignantly, "Have you had enough?"

In the dark room, he couldn't see her face clearly, but he could sense her annoyance. He sighed and said, "Come on, there's no need for you to be angry. You're just taking it too seriously. Also, you don't have to do all that." He struggled to explain it to her as he leaned closer to her face and said, "Don't overthink. Just feel, OK? You can carry on. I won't say anything. I promise."

Lucia rolled her eyes and removed her hands from his waist,  taking a deep breath to calm herself. She moved her hands to touch his face, feeling his smooth skin with a hint of stubble on his chin. She traced his thick brows, which seemed to be perfectly shaped, then his eyes, which were closed under his long lashes. She felt his strong nose bridge and then his full lips. She closed her eyes and moved closer, until her lips were about to touch his. She whispered, "You really are handsome."

He waited patiently, feeling her breath on his mouth. Then she kissed him, opening her lips slightly and moving them over his. He kissed her back following her slow pace, not wanting to overwhelm her.

He kissed her back with care, feeling the heat of the moment. Lucia wondered if this was what it felt like. The feeling was incredible. Her mind couldn't focus on anything else. Callum said between their kisses, "You're a fast learner."

Lucia nodded slowly in response, moaning softly. He felt a certain part of his body react and pulled away, before things got too far. But Lucia didn't seem to understand. She pressed her lips against his, trying to keep him close. He resisted, gently pulling away and straightened up.

He exhaled trying to calm down before leaning towards her again, resting his forehead against hers. "Lucia, your second request," he said softly, feeling her breath on his face.

She replied, still dazed from the kisses, "Callum, I fee…feel weird. My body feels weird. Make it stop. That is my second request." Her voice was soft and breathy, like a sigh.

He clenched his jaw, trying to restrain himself. He asked, "Do you really mean that?" His voice filled with uncertainty, he paused for a second before he continued, "You will have no regrets for what is about to come next."

Lucia answered with a simple "yes."

Lucia felt a surge of mixed emotions. Wasn't it too late to turn back now, since they had already come this far? Her body and mind were not in sync. She felt a wave of sensations all over her body. Who would have thought that she would be in such a situation?

The next moment, before she could process what was happening, he captured her lips again. This time, his kiss was completely different from the tender one they had just shared. This time, it was filled with passion. He kissed her hard and deep, making her gasp. Lucia felt like she was on cloud nine. She tried her best to kiss him back, but she couldn't keep up with his pace. It felt so wrong, yet so good.
