Sam was worried that Quinn would start crying if he said no, while she said, "I promise to leave once I'm done."
At the same time, she tugged at his hand and shook it adorably.
'Damn it, when did she learn how to play up her cuteness?! And doesn't she get embarrassed, being as old as she is?'
Sam turned and sat on the couch quietly, though his silence made it clear that he gave in.
Quinn chuckled—so the soft approach worked on him.
She walked toward him and took the ointment, applying iodine on his bruised eye with a cotton swab.
Still, seeing it again made her giggle, and he promptly snapped, "Laugh again and I'm throwing you out!"
Quinn bit her lip—fine, she could stop laughing for once.
"Close your eyes," she told him just then.
"Why?"
"What if I get the iodine in your eyes?"
"Then don't laugh," Sam growled.
"I won't," Quinn promised, though she could not resist smiling when he actually closed his eyes.
She had never seen him letting someone land a punch on him even as a child, and yet he ended up bruised like this.
Startled, she pulled away, but he caught the back of her head just as she did and firmly pulled her back for a more passionate kiss.
Quinn actually felt a little overwhelmed—she might have initiated the kiss, but she was already flustered!
At the same time, Sam started panting heavily as he pinned her under herself on the couch, kissing her until she was out of breath.
Quinn wrapped her hands around him in turn, wondering if she had imagined it… Somehow, his body was so hot as if he had a fever.
His body and muscles were exceedingly stiff as well, and there was no telling how long had passed as the entire room seemed to heat up.
As Sam slowly pulled away and she looked into his eyes, her body seemed to feel strange as the desire lurking just beneath her eyes seemed to erupt just then.
She really wanted to go further…
