Marrying A Secret Zillionaire: Happy Ever After Novel

Chapter 205: "Okay, okay!" Linsey squeezed her eyes shut, overwhelmed with embarrassment. Then, regaining her composure, she declared, "Just tell me what you want me to do, and I'll do it."

Linsey racked her brain, desperately trying to come up with a way to make amends.

She couldn't shake the memory of Collin's confession; he had never been with a woman before.

Who could have predicted that his first experience with intimacy would occur under such bizarre and disorienting circumstances? Guilt gnawed at Linsey with increasing intensity, and a flicker of worry crossed her features. Collin, observing her troubled expression, couldn't help but let out a soft chuckle.

"It's alright, Linsey," Collin reassured her after a brief pause. "I don't blame you. Just kiss me, and we'll call it even."

Linsey froze, her eyes widening in surprise. "Huh? That's it? It's that simple?"

Collin reached out and gently took her slightly cold hand in his, his voice a low, steady rumble. "Linsey, we're husband and wife. What happened between us is perfectly natural. Did you really think I'd cast you aside over something like this?"

Linsey considered his words and realized he was right.

A smile bloomed on her face, and a wave of warmth washed over her.

"I'm glad you don't blame me," Linsey said.

Collin shook his head. "I don't."

Linsey gazed at Collin's handsome face, then, still enveloped in the blanket, leaned forward and gently pressed her lips to his.

The kiss was so brief that Collin barely had time to register her touch.

Collin's brow furrowed slightly. "That's not exactly what I had in mind," he said.

Linsey looked at him, puzzled. "Didn't you just say one kiss would suffice?"

Collin chuckled, his eyes twinkling with amusement. "I didn't mean a mere peck on the lips."

His gaze dropped to her lips once more.

Linsey felt a shiver run down her spine, a warmth blooming where his eyes lingered.

She bit her lip, a blush creeping up her cheeks.

Witnessing her bashfulness, Collin couldn't resist teasing her further. "You were so bold last night," he remarked playfully. "Why so shy now?"

Linsey's face flushed crimson, a mix of anger and embarrassment warring within her. She felt like Collin was mocking her. "How dare you underestimate me!" she retorted.

With a determined glint in her eyes, Linsey leaned in and captured his lips with hers. Collin's breath hitched, and just as he was about to deepen the kiss, she pulled back. To add insult to injury, she playfully nipped his lower lip-not hard enough to hurt, but enough to leave him wanting more.

Collin let out a dramatic gasp, feigning offense. "Ouch! Is this payback for something?"

"Don't be ridiculous," Linsey shot back, struggling to maintain her composure. "I'm just… a little out of practice, that's all."

Collin fell silent, his gaze locked onto hers with an intensity that sent shivers down her spine.

"Right, well, we should probably get up," Linsey stammered, flustered. She snatched her pajamas from the bedside table, slipped them on, and hurried to the bathroom to freshen up.

Collin watched her flee, amusement tugging at his lips.
