The Day Our Promise Breaks

Charles' well-defined hands gripped her slender waist tightly, pulling their bodies so close together that there was no space left between them.

He opened his mouth and bit down hard on Evelyn's lips as if to punish her. His breath was hot as his fingertips gently caressed the most sensitive spot on her waist, and he felt her shiver in his arms. His voice was low and hoarse, "Are you trying to torment me?" Wrapped in Charles' strong masculine scent, Evelyn's hands weakly pushed against his chest, trying to create some distance between them. She denied his accusation with feigned toughness. "No."

She tried to pull away from the grip he had on her waist, struggling to get up. But as soon as she moved, Charles pulled her back down. This time, she was sitting directly on his lap.

Evelyn noticed herself heating up. Was his breath making her hot or something else?

Her earlobes were burning.

"No?"

Charles' gaze was dark as he looked at the bright red flush on Evelyn's earlobe.

She was very sensitive. A single touch would spread a charming blush across her body. She was like a delicately blooming flower, irresistible and tempting.

Charles' Adam's apple moved as he suddenly grabbed her by the neck and pulled her towards him, pressing his lips against hers. He pried open her teeth and invaded her mouth, conquering her defenses.

His kiss was deep, leaving Evelyn overwhelmed. She wanted to retreat, but Charles had a firm grip on her slender waist and the back of her neck, dominating her completely.
