Chapter 86 Boundaries and Breaches

Lily’s hand, completely out of control, clutched at James’s shirt–hard.

The fabric strained and popped. Buttons flew loose, revealing a stretch of cold, pale chest.

Worse still, her hand had trailed across that chest–softly, unmistakably.

Like a deliberate caress.

James, who had always been restrained, stoic, and upright, rarely showed emotional cracks.

But this?

First, she had touched him while he was unconscious. Now, she was taking a bath without locking the door. stumbling into his arms, and ripping open his shirt?

This crossed every line of decency and self–control.

When her hand squeezed his chest again, his face turned pitch black with fury.

Grinding his teeth, he snapped, “Lily. Get your hand off me. Stay away from me! Don’t touch me!”

Lily nearly fainted from shock.

How had things escalated like this?

She had only reached out to stop herself from falling–and somehow, she’d torn open his shirt? And then, by some cursed reflex, groped his chest?

She hadn’t meant to take advantage of him. She hadn’t meant to leave the door unlocked either.

Still, she understood why he was furious.
