These weren't questions. They were statements.
Declan froze.
"Don't deny it because I already know the answer. Denying it would just be lying. Declan, you like me, and I like you too!"
As she spoke, Hailey lifted her head and kissed his thin lips without hesitation.
Declan was stunned. He hadn't expected her to be so bold. He instinctively tried to push her away. "Hailey…"
But it was useless. Hailey wrapped her arms tightly around his neck, holding on with all her strength. Just as he opened his mouth, she deepened the kiss.
Her soft tongue slid in, dominant yet playful, entwining with his.
Declan was still inexperienced when it came to intimacy, and her teasing sent an immediate shiver down his spine.
A tingling sensation spread from his lower back, surging through his limbs and making the corners of his eyes redden.
Hailey kissed him fiercely, tasting the strong liquor on his lips—a wild, fiery, untamed flavor that made her dizzy with excitement.
In the end, Declan still managed to push her away. "Hailey, what are you doing?"
Hailey's lips were glistening from the kiss. They were so close that her long lashes trembled slightly. "Have you ever kissed Stella?"
Declan didn't answer. Instead, he tried to remove her hands from around his neck.
But Hailey suddenly stood on her tiptoes and bit the corner of his lips.
He frowned and said hoarsely, "Hailey, don't bite me! Someone might see."
He didn't want her to bite him.
His gaze darkened with deep conflict. He hesitated, weighing his choices, unsure of what to say. "Hailey, I…"
"Declan, if you let me go again and push me toward another man, then I will be with someone else this time. Can you live with that?"
The answer was no. How could he possibly live with that? But…
Hailey wrapped her arms around him. "Declan, I don't believe a single word you said before. I don't believe you'd just fall for someone else. There's no way you're really with Stella.
"You must have your reasons, don't you? You can tell me. Whatever it is, we'll face it together. As long as we're together, we can get through anything."
Declan felt his heart soften instantly.
He had said so many cold, heartless things before, yet she didn't believe any of them.
She believed in him. But could he tell her the truth?
