Chapter 833
S haim s dark eyes narrowed as he watched Halsey struggle Then ud den ly he asked What are you doing
Halsey’slashesflutterednervously.”What doyoumean?Idon’tunderstandwhatyou’retalkingabout.”
Shaun let out a cold laugh reaching out to grip her jaw You weren t like this when you needed something from me You were so eager that day Do you need me to remind you how desperate you were
The memories of their tangled moments in that private club flashed in her mind Her small pretty face flushed a soft pink Let go of me
Shaun s sneer deepened Now that the crisis is over and I ve lost my use to you you re ready to kick me aside and go hunting for the next one
Halsey stared at him in disbelief What do you mean next one Can you please not be so crude
DidI say something wrong Isn t Calvin your new target
Shaun s fingers tightened on her jaw dragging her face closer to his
“Whatexactlyisyourtype?Youdon’tcareforrichplayboyslikeGilbertanymore.Nowyoupreferyoungprofessorswithbrainsandambition?You’vechangedyourtastesofast.I’mguessingyou’vehadplentyofmenaroundyouthesepast threeyears.”
Halsey s pupils contracted sharply She hadn t expected him to say something so cruel His words felt like needles stabbing into her heart one by one
That s enough Stop talking she snapped

With a quick motion Halsey pushed him away My personal life is none of your business
Without another word she turned and walked away
Halsey wondered how ridiculous she must seem Was that really what he thought of her What kind of person did he think she was
Just then Shaun hurried after her grabbing her armin one firm grip
Halsey halted What do you want from me
Shaun cupped her face in both hands and bent down to kiss her
“Mmm!”

Her legs suddenly went weak
She had always loved the way he smelled When he was Dwight his scent had been clean and warm making her addicted But Shaun smelled expensive a blend of refined aftershave and the lingering haze of wine It made her melt Shaun kissed her deeply pushing her into a nearby room
The room was dark as the lights were off He shoved her down on to a soft wide bed and leaned over to kiss her again

When he heard her say No his eyes glistened red as he sneered You ll accept other men but not me
Halsey swung her hand slapping his face
Shaun wore a mask but the slap knocked it off on to the bed The room was dark but they were so close that Halsey could still see his face
