Chapter 51
His words pierced her heart like an icicle.
Anna Ross wanted to explain.
Her wrist was suddenly seized in a tight grip.
Before she could react.
She was dragged into the men's restroom.
Her cheeks burned instantly.
She panicked, squeezing her eyes shut.
She struggled desperately against his control.
But he forcefully pushed her into a stall.
He locked the door behind them.
The click of the lock echoed sharply.
Her heart sank straight down.
The cramped space was mostly occupied by the toilet.
Only a fist's distance remained between them.
She didn't dare struggle too hard.
Afraid of alerting anyone outside.
Her face flushed crimson with tension.
She never imagined he would go this far.
Dragging her into a place like this.
Overwhelming shame washed over her.
She bit her lip hard.
He closed in on her again.
Her back pressed against the cold tiles.
Nowhere to escape.
He suddenly leaned down.
And crushed his lips against hers.
She didn't understand why he had suddenly gone mad.
She could only desperately suppress any sound.
Her hands pushed against him wildly.
But he easily restrained them.
His kiss grew more savage.
As if he wanted to completely consume her.
She was powerless to resist.
She could only let him take control.
Just as she was nearing suffocation.
He suddenly released her.
His cold gaze swept over her face.
"Do you remember what I said?"
"Stay away from other men."
She recalled his previous warning.
So that was the reason.
"I really didn't—"
She tried to explain.
But he lowered his head and bit her burning earlobe.
A shiver ran through her entire body.
Only then did she understand.
His anger wasn't because she asked for time off.
It was because she came to see Lucas Evans.
Lucas was still waiting outside.
What if he came looking for her?
Panic instantly seized her.
"Please, let me go this time."
"If anyone finds us, it's over."
"Afraid Lucas will find out, aren't you?"
A ruthless glint flashed in his eyes.
He bent down and bit her collarbone.
He only released her when he heard her gasp in pain.
Then he sealed her lips again.
Her eyes widened in terror.
She twisted her body, fighting back frantically.
But she was no match for his strength.
His body heat scorched her skin.
Her breathing grew increasingly ragged.
"This can't happen."
She turned her head away from his kiss.
"Don't forget Miss Valentine is still here."
"What would she think if she knew?"
He should care about Chloe Valentine's feelings.
"You dare threaten me?"
His movements halted abruptly.
His gloomy eyes fixed on her.
Rage seemed ready to erupt.
"You think using her name will work?"
She hurriedly covered her mouth, shaking her head.
"It's not a threat."
"It's just... someone is waiting for you."
"And I don't want Lucas to worry."
