Sentenced to Marriage by MadlainQ

Crossing the line Aren’s entire focus was on me, his eyes sending pleasant chills down my spine. His onyx irises were piercing right through me with unbearable strength. His body, wrapped in a dark-grey suit and white shirt, created a view more dangerous than ever. Our closeness and his scent forced my heart into a wild race. Since my instinctive reaction was meant to create space between our bodies, the palms of my hands unknowingly froze against his firm chest.

“If you touch mine, then can I touch yours?” he smirked. “No!” I exclaimed, taking my naughty hands off of him. His arms were still around me, keeping me on his lap and tightening the grip around me. “Just kiss me and I will let you go,” he teased..

I smirked and leaned over his cheek, but he noticed it and turned his head before my lips touched him.

“I want a kiss that has actual worth,” he said daringly.

I couldn’t say that placing a deeply passionate kiss on those plush lips of his would have been a sacrifice. The man whose face was inches away from mine was perfect, and his stare at me raised my humidity by a thousand percent. The easiest thing I could do was to let go and surrender, just like my entire body did long ago. Yet, I was scared. There were certain emotional issues that I needed to process before making a move.

Aren Lan knew how to be charming, but most of the time he was acting like an arrogant prick. He was also domineering and egoistic, and there was no chance in hell that I would fall in love with someone like him. So what was there to be afraid of? I wouldn’t go as far as to say that I could have a casual sexual relationship with him, but one kiss should have been fine… right?

I exhaled slowly and put my arms gently around his neck. A wave of shivers crossed down my body as his smirk vanished, giving way to an intense predatory gaze. I swallowed, arousal cutting all of my restraints. I leaned over him, placing my lips on his. I wanted to give him a quick peck, but the second I was about to pull my head away, Aren took the lead. His hand swiftly reached the back of my head, positioning me before I could escape. His other arm pulled me deeper into his lap, pressing me tightly against his body. A panic within me mixed with excitement. The situation was out of my control, and yet I had no will within me to push him away. He brushed my lips with his own, caressing them. A soft moan left my mouth as the tickling wave of pleasure began to consume me. His grip on the back of my head tightened as he slid his tongue inside and deepened the kiss with greedy strokes. My hands ran through his thick hair, tangling his strands in my fingers. I gave back his kiss with everything I had, feeling the bulge in his pants grow harder against the center spot between my thighs. Suddenly, his hand slid down from the small of my back to my buttocks as he got up from his chais, carrying me along with him. I gasped and tangled my legs around his waist. A second later, I was lying on his sofa, and he was leaning over me with his hands on both sides of my head and his bended knee between my legs. He continued our kiss while one of his hands roamed down my neck and cleavage, and I didn’t stop him. I played with his hair and gently caressed the skin on the back of his neck. The sensation he was giving me was

intoxicating, but I was far from enough. I wanted more. I wanted all of him.

Aren let out an irritated growl, his hand reaching out to hit the button. A second later, Neil’s voice broke through the speaker.

Would we stay as acquaintances, sharing a strong physical attraction? Yet, Aren wasn’t even a bit flustered, even if he clearly wanted me before. Was he over me because I stopped it? Or worse… I was the only ‘one who enjoyed it, and a part of him felt relieved that

smiled weakly and exited his office. I strode through the corridor, my eyes getting heavier and heavier from tears. Idiot. What was I counting on? I was way too fragile and broken to play his game. As the elevator reached the ground floor, my pain turned to anger. I was pissed at myself. Why was I constantly giving him everything he wanted from me, expecting to get what I wanted in return? I should have known that it had never worked that way, especially not
