Chapter 761
Noreen was about to struggle.
Just then, the sound of footsteps echoed outside the door.
“He ran this way! Find him!”
“How dare he kick Miss Caldwell into the pond! When we catch him, we’re taking
him straight to the police!”
Noreen immediately froze.
This gave Seth the opening he needed.
He lowered his head, burying his face in the soft skin of her exposed neck.
It was a sensitive spot for her.
His hot breath on her skin sent a shiver down her spine.
“Let go of me!”
Afraid of alerting the security guards outside, Noreen could only hiss the warning through gritted teeth.
Seth only grew bolder.
Not only did he not let go, but his tongue darted out, tracing a line across her trembling skin.
Noreen’s mind went blank, as if something had just exploded.
“You’re drunk! Stop this madness!”
“It’s because I’m drunk that I miss you this much.”
The alcohol made his voice sound husky.
His hand tightened on her waist, and without any hesitation, he crushed his lips against hers.
The kiss was anything but gentle.
He was like a powerful invader, intent only on conquering her territory.
Noreen instinctively tried to speak, to stop his insane behavior.
But the moment she parted her lips, he seized the opportunity, his tongue tangling with hers.
She was dizzy from the kiss, the feeling of oxygen deprivation both strange and familiar.
She could feel the base of her tongue going numb, her entire body tense with anxiety.
Outside the door, the guards were still searching.
Inside, a fiery battle was raging.
A fine layer of sweat broke out on Noreen’s back.
The cold of the wall against her bare skin shocked her back to her senses.
Noreen opened her mouth, and just as Seth pressed forward, she bit down hard.
A muffled groan escaped him, and the metallic taste of blood filled her mouth.
He pulled back slightly, but still kept her trapped in his arms.
His breathing was even more ragged now, hotter than before.
They were so close that in her struggle, she could feel the change in his body.
When she realized what it was, her face flushed a deep red, burning with a heat that felt like it would consume her.
She didn’t dare move anymore, afraid of provoking him into doing something reckless.
In the darkness, they could only hear the sound of each other’s unsteady breathing.
“Do you have any idea what you’re
doing?” Noreen’s voice trembled
with anger. “This is assault! Lean call the police and have you arrested!
“Then do it. I don’t care.”
He tilted his head down, his lips finding the tender skin of her shoulder.
After their struggle, a thin sheen of sweat had formed in the hollow of her neck.
Noreen kept her lower body still, but her hands were free.
She wanted to slap him, but she was afraid of attracting the guards in the she
end, out of sheer frustrationes
scratched him.
She used a lot of force.
She had definitely broken the skin.
But he only hissed in pain before biting down on her shoulder, retaliating with even
more intensity.
“Or you could just bite my tongue off. Get your revenge that way.”
He was truly unhinged.
Being bitten and scratched did nothing to stop him.
He pressed down on her again, his lips capturing hers in another heavy kiss.
The force was so strong it hurt.
Noreen fought back, hitting him.
But the more she fought, the crazier Seth became.
The deeper and more savage his kisses grew.
He finally broke the kiss just before she felt like she would suffocate.
Noreen gasped for air.
Seth began to gently suckle on her lips, his voice softening as if he were trying to soothe her. “Noreen, can we go back to how things were?
Please?
Noreen turned her head away, her tone icy. “Impossible.”
“Why is it impossible? You said you loved me once, we…” Seth sounded desperate.
Noreen cut him off impatiently. “I loved you then, but I don’t anymore. That’s why it’s impossible.”
It was the first time Seth had directly experienced Noreen’s indifference, her complete detachment.
In that instant, he lost all his strength, all his fight.
He was overcome by a crushing sense of powerlessness.
