Chapter 1505:
“Are you okay? Did I hurt you?” she asked softly, her eyes scanning his face in concern.
But Johnson didn’t answer. He simply stared at her, his gaze intense. Under the weight of his eyes, Catherine suddenly became acutely aware of just how close they were.
They were so close that she could feel his breath mingling with hers.
Her heart pounded in her chest.
Her breathing hitched, growing shallow and quick. She knew she couldn’t stay like this; she needed to pull away now.
She broke eye contact, trying to push herself up. But just as she began to move, a hand slipped behind her head.
She barely had time to register the touch before he guided her face toward his…
Then, her lips met something warm.
Catherine’s eyes widened in shock.
Johnson’s lips were on hers.
The sensation hit her like a bolt of lightning.
It took a moment for her mind to catch up, to realize what was happening—to grasp that she was kissing Johnson, her foster brother.
Snapping back to reality, Catherine squirmed, wanting to pull away. She pushed against Johnson, but his arm locked around her waist like iron, and his other hand tangled in her hair, anchoring her in place. For a fleeting moment, Catherine was trapped, powerless to stop the kiss.
She clamped her jaw shut, fighting the confusing, chaotic feelings swirling inside her.
Johnson’s eyes stayed closed, his kiss slow as if savoring something precious.
His tongue brushed lightly against her teeth, probing gently at first, then pressing more firmly, trying to slide into her mouth. Catherine’s back went rigid. She held her ground, refusing to yield.
Undeterred, Johnson continued, his lips moving from her lower lip to her upper one with a tenderness that sent shivers down her spine. Then, abruptly, Johnson’s hand applied more pressure.

Catherine winced in pain, her lips parting slightly against her will. Johnson seized the moment, his tongue slipping past her defenses, claiming hers in a deep, intoxicating kiss.
Catherine’s pupils contracted as her body stiffened.
She wanted to resist; she truly did.
But the kiss was overwhelming, and she found herself swept up in the moment.
Her eyelids fluttered shut involuntarily.
Her thoughts were a mess; she didn’t know what to think.
Then, a face flashed in her mind—Zoie’s.
