Unspoken Hearts: My Neglected Mute Wife’s Escape

Chapter 176:

Kallie strained with all her might but found Jake unmoving atop her. Strangely, Kallie sensed that Jake wasn’t applying his full weight, and despite being pinned down, she didn’t feel uncomfortable at all. It dawned on Kallie swiftly—Jake must be doing it deliberately.

Furious, Kallie sank her teeth into Jake’s shoulder. Jake grunted, the impact seemingly sobering him from his drunken state. Squinting with a hint of menace, he reacted to her bite. Kallie, seizing the moment, used her free hands to sign frantically, trying to convey that she wasn’t Sarah and that he was making a mistake.

Jake, however, was unfazed. He reached out, firmly grasping her chin, his voice low and firm. “I’m not blind, I know exactly who you are.”

Kallie’s eyelashes fluttered, a mix of fear and confusion as she opened her mouth to question his intentions. But before she could speak, Jake leaned in, cutting off her words with a kiss.

Kallie trembled under his touch, her eyes wide as she stared into Jake’s intense gaze. His unique scent enveloped her, overwhelming her senses. Caught in the moment, Kallie found herself unable to resist, swept up in the intensity of Jake’s passion.

She attempted to resist, but Jake was swift, capturing her hands and securing them behind her back. As the kiss deepened, Jake wrapped his arm around her waist, drawing her even closer to him. Their bodies pressed tightly together, the space between them vanishing entirely.

Jake’s dark eyes shimmered with a complex mix of emotions as he gazed at Kallie, the intensity in his gaze softening into something more enigmatic. Despite the passion that clearly tempted him to further abandon, he held back, moderating his desire. He teased her lips, alternating between gentle nibbles and firmer, more insistent pressures.

Locked in this embrace, time seemed to stretch on indefinitely, each moment lingering as they remained entwined. Finally, Jake pulled away, gasping for air as he released Kallie.
