A Life Beyond Limits novel Chapter 38

Jack smiled. "Well, that depends on your actions."

Bella froze, her brows furrowing as she pondered what exactly Jack meant.

In truth, Jack hadn't really thought about what he wanted from her. It was just something he had said offhandedly, hoping to make Bella back off.

However, Bella made a bold move that left Jack stunned.

Jack was engrossed in his computer work, and he was ignoring Bella.

Suddenly, a pleasant fragrance wafted toward him.

Jack turned his head. To his astonishment, Bella was right in front of him. Her skin glowed under the light, and Jack could even see the lines on her face.

It was the first time they had been this close, and Jack's heart began to race.

Bella's scent surrounded Jack. He blushed and asked breathlessly, "What are you trying to do?"

Bella had been nervous. After all, approaching a guy like this took courage, even for her.

But seeing Jack look even more flustered than she was, she couldn't help but feel surprised. Had this guy never been this close to a girl before?

Bella relaxed and smiled mischievously. "Didn't you say you wanted me to do something? Well, here I am. Why are you backing away?"

"I… I'm not backing away." Jack tried to appear calm.

"Good!" Bella smiled sweetly. Before Jack could react, she suddenly leaned in and kissed him.

The kiss was short but captivating.

In that instant, Jack's mind went blank. His eyes flew open, and he forgot how to respond.

Annoyed by her question, Jack retorted, "What do you think? Do you think everyone's as experienced as you are?"

Bella fumed at his response. "Who said that? That's on you for not knowing anything at your age!"

Despite her irritation, Bella felt a sense of triumph. The thought that Jack's first kiss had been taken by her filled her with delight.

Just then, she felt as if she had won over this stubborn guy.

Jack didn't want to argue with her anymore, so he chose to stay silent.

"So, do you believe me now? Will you go out with me?" Bella asked hopefully.

Seeing Jack remain quiet, Bella pouted. "I've already kissed you. What more do you need?"
