Chapter 101

Sullivan’s words were always disarmingly tender, a siren’s call that could sway even the most resolute heart.

Despite Megan’s coldness towards him, she couldn’t help but be stirred by his gentle provocations.

But she remained lucid.

Sullivan moved closer and gently pressed her beneath him to give her a tender kiss, but Megan’s heart splintered. Her fingers traced the contours of his chiseled face as she whispered, “Sullivan, do you love me?”

Sullivan was a man who never spoke of love, nor had he truly loved anyone.

His silence was a tacit denial. That was a fact Megan had long known, but it still brought her a twinge of sorrow. She probed further, “Do you want to love me? Are you willing to give love in our marriage?”

Sullivan didn’t deceive her. Pressing against her soft lips, he took possession of her mouth and gently but firmly declared, “No.”

With a heavy heart, Megan closed her eyes. She accepted his kisses, felt the strength of his caress, yet she found room to continue their conversation on marriage and affection. Her voice was faltering and quivering with feminine cadence, “Sullivan, if you don’t love me, why should you require me to love you? You have so many women out there who are craving for your affection. It’s so easy to get their love, isn’t it?”

Sullivan watched her and saw how she caved to desire. He knew all too well that her surrender was born of physical need, and once emotions were cast aside, Megan would be satisfied if he wasn’t so tough. She began to let go of her inhibitions and enjoy their physical union. She was using him as a tool.

This unsettled Sullivan, so he naturally yearned to torment her.
