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.

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

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.
