Time seemed to freeze for a moment. Charlotte stumbled onto Kennedy’s laps. She was completely petrified. What was he doing?
The musky scent of a man who wanted to mate slowly filled the room. Charlotte’s senses were assaulted endlessly by the new scent.
After being stunned for a moment, Charlotte snapped back to reality. She propped her hand against his chest in an attempt to put some distance between them.
“Let, let me go!”
With a loud slap, Kennedy locked her wrist with his hand and spoke in a chilly tone. “Didn’t your ex-husband teach you how to remove a belt? Or are you pretending to be ignorant so you could make me teach you?”
“What?”
“Well, if that’s the case, as you wish.”
Kennedy grabbed her wrist and guided her movements to press on the lock of his belt. With a loud click, it came undone…
Charlotte felt like her brain froze for several moments. Her eyes grew imperceptibly wider and even wider under the scrutinizing gaze of Kennedy.
When the belt hit the floor, Charlotte was brought back to reality by the dull sound.
However, her brain felt like nothing was making any sense for a time. Her body lagged as well because of Kennedy’s actions.
“Do you know how to do it now?” Kennedy asked in a hoarse voice.
Charlotte continued to stare in stupefaction while sitting on his lap. She stared at Kennedy, who was only inches away.
His features were perfect. He had deep, dark eyes and a tall nose. His lips were a perfectly straight line. It was undeniable that Kennedy was lucky in the looks department.
His facial features alone would stir up a storm among females in B City. However, despite his outstanding appearance, Charlotte could never forget how he had humiliated her.
Realizing he was inching closer to her, Charlotte reflexively tilted her head and looked away.
A fierce look filled Kennedy’s eyes. His long, slender fingers grabbed her chin as he spoke menacingly.
“Why are you facing away? Are you really trying to play games with me? Do you really naively think that I would be interested in a remarried woman like you?”
“It’s not that!” Charlotte didn’t want to continue to be embarrassed by him anymore. She bit her bottom lip hard. “If you’re not interested in a remarried woman like me, let me go now.”
“Why should I do that? Does that have anything to do with whether I’m interested in you or not?”
Charlotte widened her eyes at his response. “You…”
With a momentary chuckle, he pressed his icy lips onto her trembling ones.
Charlotte’s mind could only process what was happening after a few seconds had elapsed. She vehemently pushed against his chest.
Kennedy initially wanted to make a fool out of her and see for himself how good a kisser Charlotte was. Contrary to his expectation, she was surprisingly inexperienced with kissing. She didn’t even know how to maintain her breathing and could not resist. She was a pushover in front of him.
Damn it! If she really intended to seduce him, shouldn’t she dish out all her moves to elicit some response from him?
After a short while, Kennedy abruptly and violently shoved Charlotte out of his embrace. With their lips no longer locked, he sneered.
“Are you really that stupid?”
Charlotte was in a daze after being kissed by him like that.
Aside from the man the month before, she hadn’t experienced such a domineering kiss before or ever since. Kennedy was an extremely ferocious kisser. It was as if he’d transformed into a leopard. He attacked without letting his prey break free from his grip. Charlotte didn’t have a chance to catch her ragged breath.
It felt like no matter how she protested, she could never run away from him.
At first, Charlotte was very resistive of him, but his kissing had caused her to lose herself and her body to melt. Her mouth was still full of his scent, her mind had wandered elsewhere, and her misty gaze was fixed on him, with no emotion in her eyes. She couldn’t produce any words, no matter how much she focused.
Kennedy narrowed his eyes and stared into her eyes, which were only inches away from his. Charlotte had a constantly bored look in her eyes. She was always indifferent and aloof, so he didn’t normally have any extraneous feelings toward her. However, her gaze was blurry at the moment, which could surprisingly pull him in.
Out of nowhere, Kennedy was struck by a thought. Why had a woman like her gone through a divorce not so long ago? Could it be…
Kennedy continued to look at her doubtfully while pulling her toward him. His voice was so low it was almost a whisper. “Haven’t you kissed anyone before? You don’t even know how to change your breath.”
At the mention of the word “kiss,” Charlotte slowly returned to her senses, and the charming look in her eyes dissipated. At that exact moment, he leaned forward for another session of kissing.
Kennedy didn’t know what he was doing. He only knew he wanted to continue enjoying the look on her face. Therefore, he reacted naturally and pressed his lips against hers once again.
Charlotte lost all sense of the passage of time while that happened. Only after quite some time, she suddenly snapped back to her senses and let out a scream. She frantically pushed him away.
She was finally able to push Kennedy away from her, but she smashed to the floor as a result.
Kennedy had been wholly enjoying himself in the sensuous experience, so his grip wasn’t as strong as it had been.
Charlotte continued to sit on the floor with a stupefied look on her face. She pursed her swollen lips and tried to stop shaking.
“What are you doing to me?”
After being pushed away, Kennedy was slightly stunned as well. However, his expression eventually shifted back to its usual coldness.
“I am just carrying out my duties as a husband. What, are you telling me you can’t take it, Mrs. Moore?”
A mocking smile played on his lips. He was obviously making a fool out of her.
“Didn’t you just say you’re not interested in me? Why the hell did you kiss me?” Charlotte retorted furiously.
All her life, she held the notion that only a real, loving couple could kiss each other passionately. He was looking down at her with disgust and hatred in his eyes. If that was the case, how could he force himself to kiss her?
“Mrs. Moore, didn’t I just remind you? Being interested in you and wanting to humiliate you are two unrelated matters.”
Charlotte froze upon hearing that.
She didn’t expect that he was so despicable. This feeling of disconcerting prompted her to get up and leave.
“Mrs. Moore, you haven’t even taken off my clothes yet.”
Charlotte didn’t say anything, lowering her head instead.
“Or are you hinting at me that you would no longer be my wife very soon?”
Is he threatening me? Charlotte was so provoked she clenched her fists to the point that her face was deathly pale and her knuckles were bone white.
After a moment, she slowly relaxed her hands. She could only force herself to endure it for a little longer. After all, she only needed to remove his clothes.
Charlotte once again stood in front of him. Kennedy noticed her eyes were infused with her usual indifference. They’d returned to their former coldness. That was really unsatisfactory for him. How could she envision herself staying in the Moore family if she didn’t even know how to seduce a man?
Charlotte bent over to help him take off his clothes. However, she couldn’t find a suitable position to do that, so she could only voice out her concern, “Can you help me a little…”
Kennedy continued to reply with no emotion in his voice. “Mrs. Moore, didn’t you know that I’m handicapped? Are you expecting me to be able to move around freely?”
Charlotte could only reply, “If you don’t help me with this, I really don’t know how I can remove your clothes.”
“I see. Then that means you’re pretty useless as expected.”
Charlotte’s expression changed drastically. All she could do was shut up and try again.
Two minutes passed by in a blink of an eye and Charlotte still couldn’t successfully remove his clothes.
What should she do now? She was so anxious at that point she was on the brink of tears.
