The Broken-hearted She And The Icy He

Chapter 240 The Drunken Lion Cub

Chapter 240 The Drunken Lion Cub

Lily knew James was a man of integrity–principled and upright. A true gentleman.

He would never hurt her.

So now that she was drunk, her body and mind completely relaxed, all her defenses dropped. She let herself go–free and reckless.

With hazy, intoxicated eyes, she lowered her gaze and took in the man beneath her, pinned to the lounge chair.

He’s really, ridiculously handsome…

Those eyes–so cold and deep–yet when they looked at her earlier, it felt like the entire galaxy had been poured into them.

It was like they were pulling her in, casting a spell.

Swallowing nervously, she couldn’t resist reaching out and gently touching the corner of his eye.

It was true–both he and Simon had flawless phoenix eyes. But somehow, they felt completely different to her.

When she looked into Simon’s eyes, all she felt was annoyance and disgust. It made her want to dig his eyeballs out and feed them to a dog.

But James‘ eyes…

They made her bold. Reckless. Hungry.

She didn’t know how to express just how much she liked those eyes. All she could do was awkwardly cup his face in her hands and press a soft kiss to the corner of his eye.

“Leila…”

His voice was hoarse–thick with tension.
