The Broken-hearted She And The Icy He

hapter 253 Not That Kind of Physical Therapy

The corners of his eyes turned redder and redder. Then, all at once, he lowered his face and kissed her deep and fierce.

James had always had the kind of face that exuded icy restraint and ascetic detachment. He seemed carved from stone–untouchable, far removed, the sort who never looked down or broke composure without cause. When Lily first met him, he’d come across as distant, controlled, impossible to reach.

Like a locked door with no key–closed off, alluring in a way that only sharpened the distance.

But now, lost in this absurd dream, all that chill restraint and iron discipline had gone out the window.

He only wanted to lose himself in her; to entangle with the one he loved, to do as he pleased.

A moment ago, his kisses–trailing down from her lips–had still carried a trace of tenderness, of careful

reverence.

But as her cardigan opened, revealing that most breathtaking snow–white beauty before him, his breathing quickened; his every movement turned wild and unrestrained.

It was as if he’d been starved and imprisoned for a thousand years–and now, faced with something that could finally sate his hunger, there was simply no controlling him.

As his kisses grew more aggressive, Lily completely lost her ability to fight him off. She leaned back instinctively, trying to put some space between them; and yet, a strange pleasure and craving surged through her body, pulling her closer against her will.

The heat scorched her skin, burning away her reason until she couldn’t help but let herself be swept along.

The cave had grown stuffy with the entrance sealed. Pushing aside a few stones, sitting near the fire with their clothes on–it had felt just right for a quiet winter night.

But now, as he tore her clothes away in a frenzy, the cold night wind blew into the cave, and Lily felt a chill crawl across her skin.
