Rising from the Ashes (Andrew) novel Chapter 2552

Andrew's heart skipped for no reason, but he shook his head anyway. He said flatly, "I have no idea what you're talking about. Luna isn't the kind of person you're describing."

Valerie let out a sharp laugh. "Why lie to yourself, Andrew? Deep down, you can feel it too, can't you? Luna likes you. Just now, something happened in the military. Mr. Turman's prized student was ambushed, but thankfully, the Lloyd family's Dragon Prince stepped in and saved her life.

"I went to check that river where you two escaped. It was rough, fast, and deadly. Yet, you both survived by hiding underwater… Clever plan, by the way. Your brain and survival skills really are something to admire."

Andrew's tone was calm but cold. "You've said all that. What exactly are you trying to say?"

Valerie smiled, a slow, stunning smile that could melt anyone's heart. However, her eyes glimmered with mischief. She began circling him like a predator, her heels clicking softly on the floor. When she finally stopped beside him, she leaned close, her breath brushing against his ear.

"I'm just curious… Luna was badly injured, right? So when you two were underwater, how did she manage to hold her breath? I bet she couldn't hold it any longer, and then you gave her your breath, didn't you? Mouth to mouth. Which means, Andrew… You took Luna's first kiss. You know that, right?"

Andrew felt his irritation spike. "Whether it was her first kiss or not, I don't know. I didn't think about that at the time."

Valerie's smile turned cold. "Oh, it was her first… A pure, precious, once-in-a-lifetime kind of first kiss. Luna and I couldn't be more different. Back at the academy, she was all about discipline and training; untouchable, righteous, perfect. And me? I was sneaking out, breaking rules, doing everything she wouldn't."

She tilted her head, her eyes gleaming. "Men, kisses, hookups? All that means nothing to me. So I know exactly how much her first kiss means. And you just took it away without a second thought. You might not have cared, but my dear Luna did. She cared a lot."

Valerie smirked. "Tell me, do you think she liked it… or hated it?"

Andrew's mind suddenly flashed back to the moment Luna had confessed she liked it.
