“Where’s George?”
As soon as the words left her mouth, the tension in the air dissipated somewhat.
Brendon looked at Ranita with a hint of annoyance. He moved his hand away from his belt and calmed down a bit. “I saw him walking away with another girl just now.”
“What? He didn’t even say anything?” Ranita was still feeling dizzy and couldn’t quite think straight. “Next time, I’m not bringing him out here to play!”
Brendon was getting angry.
He grabbed her slender waist and pulled her closer to him, gritting his teeth fiercely. “You’re thinking about next time?”
If he hadn’t come along tonight, would she be cuddling up to some other guy right now? Just thinking about it made Brendon feel restless and furious.
But the woman in his arms seemed completely oblivious to his anger. She knelt on the leather sofa with her legs crossed, swaying back and forth while staring at Brendon intently. “The cocktails here are so good!” she exclaimed.
Of course they were good – otherwise how could she have gotten so drunk?!
“Brendon…” Suddenly, the petite woman slumped against him like a kitten and whispered softly into his chest, “My head is spinning… I feel so light… I want to sleep…”
Ranita was really feeling woozy after all that kissing earlier; she was exhausted! All she wanted now was to close her eyes and drift off…
“Ranita… Ranita!” A man’s voice called out, and Ranita hummed like a little cat, reaching out to embrace the man’s neck. “Don’t disturb me, let me sleep a bit.”
The warmth was comforting, and the body was familiar to her. The faint fragrance kept wafting into her nose, putting her at ease.
Brendon’s perfume was custom-made, so this scent belonged only to him. No matter how much time had passed, her brain and body still remembered this smell.
Ranita snuggled against his chest, in a dazed state, as if half asleep and half awake.
Speaking of sleep, she seemed to hear the man’s strong heartbeat, faster than usual.
Speaking of being awake, her eyes just wouldn’t open.
“Ah!” In her dazed state, Ranita seemed to hear Brendon sigh. “I really can’t do anything with you!”
As time passed, Ranita initially felt fine, but as the warmth pressed against her increased, she began to feel too hot.
Ranita reached out to push the heat source away, but instead, she touched a solid chest.
With half of the alcohol dissipating, Ranita’s mind started to clear up. She wondered what she touched.
As Ranita thought, her hand moved downward, touching the shirt and waist, gently pinching, very elastic… then further down, she touched a belt, which Ranita found bothersome… and then…
Ranita quickly withdrew her scalded hand, her mind racing, trying to figure out what she had touched. How did this combination resemble a man?
A man?!!
Ranita immediately became much more awake. She forcibly opened her tired eyelids and saw a chin and a familiar Adam’s apple.
There were two bite marks on the Adam’s apple.
Ranita’s head buzzed, even more dizzy than when she had been drinking.
“You…” Ranita stepped back, only to realize she was sitting on the man’s lap!
A bolt from the blue!
The hazy memories from before came flooding back, and Ranita felt panicked and embarrassed. “Brendon… I… you…”
“Be careful!” Brendon remained calm, reaching out to hold her. “If you move back any further, you’ll fall!”
Ranita was pulled back again, her entire body pressed against him.
Ambiguity filled the air.
Ranita’s ears burned, and she felt that the skin against her legs was extremely hot…
