Under the Veil I Rule

Chapter 164

Finnian kept mulling over the word "wife" in his mind, not uttering a single word.

A chilly breeze swept past, causing Amara to shiver slightly. She felt an urge to leave this place and shifted her body a bit.

But at that moment, Finnian suddenly grabbed her chin again, leaning down to kiss her mouth through the soft mask she wore.

Amara's eyes widened instantly. Almost reflexively, she tried to push him away.

Finnian pulled her closer by the waist, holding her tightly so she couldn't escape his embrace. He closed his eyes, deepening the kiss.

He kissed her fiercely, and after the initial shock, Amara was filled with nothing but shame and anger. She struggled in Finnian's arms, trying to speak, but could only manage muffled sounds.

Her lips hurt like hell because he was so rough. It was all she could do to push him away, but it was useless. He was too strong, and tears threatened to spill from her eyes.
