Ranita stared at the man, her mind filled with countless memories. Everything seemed so vivid, and no one could ever replace the love she had for him.
“Have you been drinking?” Brendon suddenly asked.
Ranita snapped back to reality and tried to retract her hand, but he held it tightly, pulling her to sit beside him on the edge of the bed. She found herself sitting on his lap.
Ranita felt instantly embarrassed, her ears and neck growing hot. “What are you doing? Let me go!”
“Ranita, have you been drinking?” Brendon asked again, “Did you have dinner and drink with Augustus?”
“How do you know it was Augustus?” Ranita said, pouting innocently, “I didn’t say anything!”
“Heh!” Brendon clenched his teeth, his arm tightening around her waist, his presence intimidating. He asked, “Didn’t you listen to what I said?”
Without confessing, Ranita felt annoyed and unwilling to hear him say that.
“It has nothing to do with you. Why should I listen to you?” Ranita’s words were interrupted as his lips forcefully captured hers.
Her soft lips were bitten, causing Ranita to take a sharp breath. She tried to resist his advances by gritting her teeth, but he was too dominant. Soon, she found herself growing weak, her palms sweaty.
Ranita had only had a little red wine, less than half a glass, but now she felt like she had fallen into a barrel of wine. She was intoxicated, unable to think straight or control her body.
The faint scent of alcohol permeated the air, quickly igniting like fireworks, setting the surroundings ablaze with heat.
“Brendon…” Ranita reached out and grabbed his back, “Let… go…”
Her voice was soft and tender, creeping into Brendon’s heart. The emotions he had tried to suppress burst forth again, and he could only hold Ranita tighter, kissing her passionately.
Their intense kiss moved from her lips to behind her ear. Ranita felt as if she were steamed, her face turning as pink as cherry blossoms, her eyes shining with a gentle radiance, and her entire being filled with deep affection.
Ranita was truly irresistible.
Brendon’s palm pressed firmly against her waist as he stared into her eyes, his internal waves turbulent, his breathing heavy.
“Brendon…” Ranita felt her scalp tingling from his gaze. She was afraid he would kiss her, but she also feared he wouldn’t.
In any case, her emotions were tangled and contradictory.
“Will you listen next time?” A low voice exploded in her ear, and Ranita, slightly out of breath and annoyed, glared at Brendon.
Through gritted teeth, she said, “Let go of me!”
Seeing her eyes turning red, Brendon knew she was angry. He pretended to be innocent and said, “Consider it a reward for me?”
“You still dare to say that!” Ranita pounded on him, but he held her fingers in place. “You’ll say it hurts in a moment!”
“You…” Ranita burst into laughter out of frustration.
Her already beautiful face became even more charming with that smile, and Brendon felt his heart being stirred.
Her crimson lips were like fiery pulp, exuding a sweet fragrance.
Brendon stared at her lips, wanting to kiss her.
“You’re smiling, so you’re not angry anymore, right?” Brendon suppressed his inner impulse and held her chin, asking.
Ranita pushed his hand away, struggling to get off his lap. After creating some distance for safety, she said indignantly, “Brendon, if you touch me again, I’ll leave immediately.”
She claimed to be angry, but Ranita didn’t turn and run, indicating that she wasn’t truly angry.
Brendon secretly rejoiced and cunningly held his chest, saying, “Hiss, I suddenly feel uncomfortable. Ranita, can you support me?”
