Summary
"All thought was lost to him as instinct took over, and he pressed his lips to hers in a moment of weakness. Unable to fight the way she felt under his body and how much he was attracted to her. Knowing it had been growing little by little lately. His heart exploded with warmth and electric sparks as he tasted her soft, smooth lips. It was only a second. Poised and stiff in case she made him stop. His mouth on hers elevated her body heat and heart rate, and she impulsively kissed him back, sliding her hands up onto his shoulders to grip him tight and encourage what he was doing."

Until upon meeting, she realizes that YuZhi may not be the stranger to her she thought he was and recognizes him on sight.
