Chapter 929

Jonah’s lips curved into a faint smile. “What’s the hurry?”
Hailey blinked, caught off guard. What did he mean by that?
She glanced out the window-this definitely wasn’t the road to her home. He had kept her by his side all day, completely in control as he drove.
Now, it was late, and he still wasn’t letting her go.
“Mr. Pilsner, where exactly are you taking me? I’d like to go home,” she said.
Jonah turned to her with a playful glint in his eyes. “Why the nerves? Are you afraid I might devour you?”
Mr. Pilsner, surely you’re joking. A gentleman like you wouldn’t do something like that would you?”
Hailey tried to flatter him, but Jonah remained unfazed.
He looked at her. “That depends on whether you behave.”
Hailey was left speechless.
Half an hour later, the car stopped in front of a villa. It was Jonah’s home.
He got out and opened the gate. “Ms. Hailey, after you.”
“Mr. Pilsner, I really should be heading home. It’s getting late, and I don’t want to impose.”
With that, Hailey turned to leave, but Jonah was quicker. He stepped in front of her and blocked her path.
“Ms. Hailey, it seems you’re not listening again.”
“I—” Hailey started, but Jonah swept her off her feet and into his arms before she could finish.
“Jonah, let me go!” she demanded, struggling against him.
Unfazed by her resistance, Jonah carried her inside the villa. He climbed the stairs and placed her on the bed in the master bedroom.
Hailey immediately recognized it as his room. The sleek, cool-toned decor screamed his style, and even the bed seemed to hold traces of his crisp, clean scent.
Her cheeks reddened. “Mr. Pilsner, I should really go.”
She tried to turn and run, but Jonah’s hand shot out, gripping ker slender ankle and pinning her
beneath him. “Ms. Hailey, you’re
already in my bed. Where do you think youre going ‘
Jonah lowered his head, his lips capturing Hailey’s in a kiss.
Hailey instinctively placed her hands on his firm chest, pushing against him donat, please falteady
gave in back at the theater… why are you doing this now?”
Jonah casually loosened the button of his shirt, a teasing smile curving his lips.
“Ms. Hailey, that was just the appetizer. The main course is still to come.”
Hailey was left momentarily speechless.
As thoughts of the child inside her flooded her mind, Hailey tried to pull away. “Jonah… stop, please… let me go
But Jonah gripped her delicate wrist, pressing her firmly against the bed. His voice was low and commanding. “Ms. Hailey, you can’t stop this by just saying ‘no.””
“Jonah―!” Hailey’s protest was cut off as his lips claimed hers again.
In the early morning, Hailey felt a pinch on her cheek. She groaned, turning over with a frown. “Stop it… I’m trying to sleep
A deep, amused chuckle sounded beside her. Her lashes fluttered as she slowly opened her eyes.
She was in Jonah’s bed. He was already awake, lying on one elbow. His gaze was locked on her with a playful gleam in his eyes, and his other hand was lightly brushing her cheek.
The memory of last night came rushing back, and Hailey snapped awake.
Jonah’s lips curled into a teasing smile. “Ms. Hailey, you’re awake at last.”
Hailey blinked in shock as she hurriedly pulled the blanket up to cover herself. “Y- you-You!”
