The kiss was scorching and chaotic as if he intended to melt her completely. Under such an assault, Aveline's resistance gradually weakened. Sensing her relaxation, Lucas loosened his grip and turned her around to face him.
"Slap!" A crisp sound echoed in the darkness, neither of them able to see each other's faces clearly.
Follow on NovᴇlEnglish.nᴇtAveline's breath was rapid and uneven, her voice hoarse. "Lucas, I could charge you with harassment." Lucas let out a low laugh. "Then maybe I should go all the way and make it a case of marital rape instead?" "You..." Aveline was momentarily at a loss for words. Though she couldn't see his expression, the atmosphere around them was cold and threatening. She knew she couldn't provoke him any further.
She pressed her lips together, still feeling the lingering warmth from his lips. "Could you not do this, please?" Lucas responded, "If I don't do this, will you letkiss you?" Silence fell over Aveline again.
Lucas reached out, his fingers caressing her face. "I want to kiss you, hold you, sleep with you. What do you say to that?" Aveline pushed his hand away. "That's your problem, not mine." She tried to create distance between them, but even though he wasn't holding her, his tall figure remained close, leaving her no room to escape.
"It absolutely concerns you," Lucas said in a deep voice. "Because you're the one I want, and I still need your consent for all those things. Do you agree?" Aveline laughed out of frustration. "Did you ask for my consent just now?" "No." His answer was straightforward.
Aveline didn't want to continue this entanglement with him. She pushed against his chest. "Move." Lucas grasped her wrist. "I don't want to." Aveline sighed. What did he mean by this? Was he planning to play the rogue to the end? His palm was hot against her skin, gradually driving away the chill from her body.
Aveline's fingertips curled slightly, and she blinked, asking, "You'll be in court tomorrow, right?" Lucas chuckled softly. "Aveline, why should I show up in court? Why would I want to show up in court? Since we're officially married, I can Quand hold you without this kiss you a nagging guilt weighingdown. But if we got divorced, I'd have to carry that burden." In the darkness, Aveline glared at him furiously.
Follow on Novᴇl-Onlinᴇ.cᴏmWhat was that supposed to mean? Even after the divorce, he had no intention of letting her go? And now he was talking about psychological burdens? How could he say such things without any shame? "Let go, letgo!" Aveline suddenly felt overwhelmed with irritation, wanting nothing more than to break free from him.
"You keep rubbing against me..." Lucas' voice turned hoarse, his body radiating an unmistakable heat.
"Scoundrel!" Aveline gritted her teeth.
Lucas brushed a kiss against her cheek. "It's just a normal reaction for a man. I've been kissing you for so long, of course, I'd react. And now, you're making it worse. Shouldn't you be responsible for that?" Aveline was on the verge of
swearing. She didn't dare move, truly afraid that he might lose control. If it cto that, she knew she wouldn't stand a chance against him. "Have you noticed?" Lucas suddenly murmured, his breath hot against her ear. "Your body no longer rejects me."
If it were before, the moment he got close, she would tremble with fear-a natural reflex. But at spoint, that reaction had vanished.
