Charles' dark, mysterious eyes lingered on Evelyn. Her earlobes were so red from blushing that they looked like they might actually bleed. His gaze grew even more intense. He let his eyes wander downwards. Her neck was exposed, a lovely shade of pink spreading across her skin.

Charles' breathing got heavier. He turned Evelyn's face toward him, grasped her chin with his large hand, and leaned in for a passionate kiss.

"Mmph!" Evelyn protested, trying to shake her head free from his kiss.

Charles was determined. No matter how hard Evelyn tried, she couldn't escape. The kiss went on until she was gasping for air, and only then did he release her lips slightly.

Fuming, Evelyn took advantage of her momentary freedom. She bit down hard on the fleshy part of his hand. Her eyes, bloodshot with anger, glared up at him.

Evelyn didn't want to give in.
