ISABEL'S POV. As Leo’s lips brushed against mine, the world around us seemed to stop. My mind that was so used to chaos and noise, Suddenly went quiet, leaving nothing but the warmth of his touch. It wasn’t a commanding kiss, like I would have expected from a man like him, a man who was so used to power and control. Rather it was gentle, almost tentative, as if he were afraid of scaring me. Like he was afraid he might end up pushing me away if he went too fast. My heart raced, and for a moment, I didn’t know how to react. My whole body Suddenly felt paralyzed. It took me a moment to snap out of my stupidity and then slowly I started to return his kiss. At least I tried to. I still had no idea what I was doing. This was new territory for me. It was quite embarrassing, really. Leo’s hand
