His face was burning red…..

It might be a high fever, just like hers.

With that thought, Lily reached out to touch his forehead.

Her fingertips accidentally brushed against his cheek, and the scorching heat made her hand tremble slightly.

Not just his forehead–his entire face was burning up. He really was feverish!

“James, how are you feeling? Are you uncomfortable? I’ll go get the thermometer, you-

Just as she withdrew her hand, ready to grab the thermometer, she suddenly felt a heavy weight crash down on her.

The man who had been slouched motionless on the couch flipped over in a flash, pinning her beneath him like a wild animal.

Something was definitely wrong.

He and Simon were cousins, sharing a similar look–especially those striking phoenix–shaped eyes.

But while Simon’s gaze held a roguish charm, like a young war general riding through ancient streets with fluttering red sleeves and pride in his step…

James’s eyes were entirely different. They were cold, restrained, noble to the bone. Regal and untouchable.

Yet now, those stunning eyes were fogged with a dazed haze, the corners tinged with blood–red.

Seeing his expression, Lily’s heart skipped a beat.

He’s not just sick. He must’ve eaten something strange.

And that meant she needed to step away. Fast.

She’d promised him there would be no physical contact. She didn’t want him thinking she was after his body or taking advantage of him while he was vulnerable.

While he was still disoriented, Lily quickly tried to squirm out from under him–just pretend nothing happened.

But the moment she moved, the red at the corners of his eyes deepened.

Bloodshot veins bloomed rapidly in his dark pupils, like a god unchained from his bindings, dragging her down into his madness.

The next second, he cupped the back of her head–and his impossibly perfect lips crashed down on hers. Their breath tangled. Lily’s eyes flew open in shock.

She couldn’t believe it. James had actually kissed her out of nowhere!

“Leila…”

His low, hoarse voice snapped her out of her daze.

Leila?

That must be the name of the woman he loved.

He wasn’t in his right mind. He thought she was someone else.

The Luke family had been nothing but kind to her. If James had someone in his heart, she couldn’t repay kindness with betrayal–taking advantage of him when he was drugged or confused.
