Under the Veil I Rule

Chapter 359

Amara struggled, trying to push him away, but Finnian pinned her against the door, kissing her with a force that bordered on roughness. His kiss was insistent, almost desperate, as if he couldn't hold back anymore.

He'd kissed her before, but always through a barrier-never like this. This was the first time Finnian tasted Amara's lips for real, and it was even more intoxicating than he'd imagined. He started out intending just a brief touch, but found himself losing control, unable to pull away.

Amara's panic mounted. She shoved at his chest, trying to escape, but all she managed were muffled protests against his mouth. Frustration flared inside her.

She couldn't take it anymore. With a burst of strength, she slapped Finnian hard across the face. Only then did he finally release her.

Her lips were flushed, like ripe berries, glistening and inviting. Tears shimmered in her eyes, making her look heartbreakingly alluring, but her voice trembled with anger as she accused him, "Finnian, you've gone too far!"

Finnian knew he'd crossed a line. He caught her hand, his voice regretful. "I'm sorry. I lost control."

Lost control? As if that was an excuse!

Amara's anger boiled over. If she weren't worried she couldn't win in a fight with him, she would have slapped him again.
