Love at First Novel by Gu Lingfei

Pedro stopped.

Kathryn stopped too.

"What's wrong?" she asked.

Pedro hesitated before looking at her. "You don't want to follow my plan?"

"Miss, I'll do whatever you ask of me," he assured her. "But... can you wait two more days? I'm worried..."

Kathryn's expression turned serious. "Pedro, trust me. Trust yourself. I can protect myself, and you can protect me. I might get hurt, but my life won't be in danger." Ahead of them, Liberty and Duncan walked on, unaware that Pedro and Kathryn had stopped. The distance between them grew.

Before Pedro could react, Kathryn suddenly grabbed his face, stood on tiptoe, and pressed a soft kiss to his warm lips.

Pedro immediately wrapped his arms around her, turning passive into active, deepening the kiss.

She was a woman in love. He was a man devoted to her.

But Pedro never initiated anything intimate. It was always Kathryn who took the lead.

To Pedro, Kathryn wasn't just the woman he loved-she was his master. He held a deep respect for her, and taking the initiative felt like overstepping his bounds.
