Chapter 349 Don't Cross My Limits Jarrod stayed quiet, his eyes squinting as his gaze met Nicole's, engaging in a silent contest for a few seconds.

His lips barely moved as he whispered, “I worry you're not wild enough.

Whatever your plan, whether it's to end me or to push me to my limits, I play along." Once he finished, he quickly dipped his head, pressing his lips against hers with intensity. It felt like the relief of rain after a long drought, that known tenderness enveloping him fully. In that instant, he lost all sense of reason! The one Jarrod had longed for more

Jarrod instinctively shut his eyes, immersing himself in the feeling.

Unexpectedly, Nicole didn't push back, her lips parting just enough to let his tongue slide in.

"Then how about we head to your room, try out that bed, and find out who can bring you to the peak?" Nicole's expression turned into a scowl as she looked at him. "You've lost your mind!" Jarrod responded with a grin, "Madly, but only for you." A gentle smile flickered in Nicole's eyes. Her actions since she came back were all about testing him, to find out

that her charm was not lost on him, or maybe it was something deeper. : Yet, these things seemed minor. What really counted was his companies and assets. He might not be so
