Tangled Temptations

Chapter 318

He was quite the kisser. His lips and tongue spun a web of seduction, and he tenderly wrapped his arms around her, pulling her close.

Even though Orlena had been in relationships before, she couldn't resist his allure.

When Brett finally let her go, her legs were so weak that she couldn't stand. If it wasn't for Brett holding her, she would have collapsed. All she could do was lean against his shoulder, unsure what to do next.

She had just kissed Eloise's uncle.

The world around her was a buzz. One moment, it was the sound of their friends partying in the private room, the next, it was the sound of Brett's heart pounding.

Brett had sobered up a bit. Before he brought her here, he was actually quite nervous.

In this secluded environment, she was trembling from their kiss, naive and sweet like a sour-sweet apple.

It was beautiful, but not suitable for his world.

Brett gently stroked her hair, saying softly, "Orlena, I've told you before, I'm too old for a young girl like you. Look, even when we go out, it's all about socializing, there's never a moment of relaxation."

His voice turned rough. "Don't fall for me."

It was supposed to be a tender moment, but he had just said something so rejecting and hurtful. Orlena had her pride, too. Tears welled up in her eyes as she retorted, "I don't like you."

It was just a kiss. She didn't care about it at all.

At her words, Brett seemed to let out a sigh of relief, but there was also a hint of disappointment. However, he quickly concealed it.

Later, he excused himself from his old classmates.

Mr. Moreno was surprised. "You're leaving so soon? We were waiting for you to play poker; the game's just getting started."

Brett skillfully excused himself, taking Orlena with him.

Once they were in the car, the atmosphere was tense. After a long silence, he lit a cigarette to ease his mood.

Orlena softly said, "I'll drive. I'll take you back to the hotel."

Brett was quite surprised. He had been with many women before, especially

those from good families and with good looks. Most of them had some sort of temper. They were not the kind to throw tantrums, but they would always try to get

something from Brett, either an apology or some affection.

Orlena's innocence and simplicity felt like a luxury to him.
