Really... Really?

"Phew!"

That kiss lasted a full dozen seconds.

Throughout it all, Stella had no idea how to respond. Her body was stiff, her breathing grew heavy, her chest heaved violently, and she could only stare blankly at Nalant.

Nalant inwardly exclaimed at his good fortune. This was still a brand-new car.
