Chapter 31
Anna Ross's back hit the cold wall.
She shuddered.
She looked at the man before her in terror. "What do you think you're doing?"
Fear pricked at every pore like fine needles.
This was a hallway.
Someone could walk by at any moment.
She pushed against him with all her strength.
Adrian Sinclair didn't budge.
He pressed closer instead.
He leaned in, his face nearing hers.
His gaze was dark.
His voice was hoarse. "Doing what?"
He let out a light laugh. "Giving you what you want, of course."
His eyes swept over her body with insolence.
His fingers lifted her chin.
He stroked it slowly.
Anna's eyes reddened with anger. "You're shameless!"
She turned her face away.
He forcefully turned it back.
She was forced to look directly into his deep eyes.
"Me? Shameless?" His tone was furious. "Why don't you take a look at yourself?"
He sneered. "You're quite skilled at seducing men."
His fingers tightened.
Anna gasped in pain.
"Got tired of the old one, so you moved on to a younger one so quickly?" He moved closer. "He seems to care about you a lot?"
She opened her mouth.
She wanted to explain.
But meeting his sinister gaze.
She swallowed all her words.
It was useless to speak.
He never believed her.
He would only humiliate her further.
Adrian saw her silence.
An inexplicable irritation rose in him.
He would rather she argued.
Even if she lied.
This calm felt like a silent mockery.
He glared at her fiercely. "Speak!"
Anna lowered her eyes.
She refused to look at him anymore.
A dangerous glint flashed in Adrian's eyes.
He suddenly lowered his head and kissed her.
He forced her lips apart roughly.
The kiss felt like a punishment.
A็ฏ็ๆ ๅคบ.
It brooked no refusal.
Anna was pinned against the wall.
Her hands were restrained by his.
Their fingers tangled together.
There was no escape.
His kiss held no tenderness.
The back of her head knocked against the hard wall.
It hurt.
A bitter taste rose in her heart.
Forget it.
Consider it atonement.
She closed her eyes.
She stopped struggling.
Adrian sensed her submission.
He paused.
An inexplicable anger flared within him.
His hand slid under her clothes.
It caressed the soft skin of her waist.
Anna let out a soft moan.
Her body trembled slightly.
Adrian chuckled lowly.
His fingertips teased as they wandered.
A blush spread across Anna's cheeks.
Her legs felt weak.
Her consciousness grew hazy.
She felt like a small boat on turbulent waves.
What was more shameful.
Was that she actively wrapped her arms around his shoulders.
Adrian's breathing grew heavier.
His lips moved from the corner of her mouth.
He kissed her chin.
Her neck.
Her collarbone.
Leaving behind searing marks.
Finally.
His burning gaze landed on her chest.
He reached out to tear at her collar.
