Chapter 399

Instead of feeling touched by Ryan’s words, I just felt even more suffocated by the pressure.

I shifted back slightly, trying to put some distance between us.

But Ryan sensed my movement. He spread his large hand across my waist, holding me even tighter.

When I fell back into his arms again, there wasn’t a single inch of space left between us.

Ryan’s breath was hot against my skin, his eyes burning with intensity. “Victoria, you’re single again now.”

I bit my lip, trying to steady myself. “Who says being single means I have to start dating? I just want to focus on my career right now.”

Ryan let out a low chuckle. “Like I said, I won’t get in your way. I support you chasing your dreams.”

My heart trembled a little. Ryan had always lived a life of luxury, but he was born with such a big heart. I bet he was the kind of boy who’d always look out for you when he was little.

Even now, he’s still just as warm. Honestly, I can totally see him growing up to be the perfect gentleman–warm, gentle, and maybe even softer as he gets older.

While I was lost in these random thoughts, Ryan leaned down to kiss me again.

I turned my head, dodging his lips. He looked a little annoyed by my reaction.

His fingers held my chin firmly, pulling me back to him, and deepened the kiss.

I felt like I was trapped in a game where I had no control.

“Stop…” I whispered, my voice shaky. If he kept kissing me, things were about to get out of hand. My mind was spinning even more.
