I Once Married You (Harper and Benjamin)

Chapter 88 Wait All Night

The back of her head was gripped by Benjamin's palm. Harper wanted to struggle, but her waist was tightly bound by him. Harper dared not move for fear of touching her abdomen and could only tilt her head to accept his forceful kiss.

Benjamin's dominant kiss pinned her there, and the scent she smelled was full of pure masculine essence.

He kissed deeply, not allowing her any room to dodge or evade, sucking on her lips back and forth.

By the time this long kiss ended, her whole body had softened, and she leaned heavily against his chest, her face and ears flushed red.

Breathing heavily, Harper looked up at him. "What are you doing?"

Her voice sounded more like a coy rebuke than an upset query.

Benjamin squinted his eyes, then leaned down to peck her lips again. "What do you think?"

His voice was so hoarse. Even through her clothes, Harper could feel the scorching heat of his hand on her body. Harper pressed her lips together slightly, unsure of how captivating she appeared at that moment.

Benjamin murmured, "How about skipping your outing?"

"No."

She subconsciously wanted to move away but was pressed down firmly by him.

Benjamin raised his hand to rub her lips. "No more lipstick, it doesn't taste good."

His direct request made her cheeks even redder.

Initially, Benjamin just wanted to tone down the bright lipstick, but after rubbing her lips, he realized that she looked more captivating than before.

Benjamin's gaze was too direct and purposeful, making Harper feel that if things continued, she might not need to go out at all. So, taking advantage of his relaxed guard, she quickly extricated herself from his embrace and rushed away.

Watching her fleeing figure, Benjamin couldn't help but smile.
