The atmosphere became ambiguous.
The air around them was filled with a thick heat, making it heavy and hot.
It made people breathe faster, their heartbeats quickening.
Ranita was pulled into his arms, almost pressed against him. The man’s strong hand pushed against her waist, imprisoning her, towering over her with a strong desire for control.
Ranita wanted to avert her gaze, but when her line of sight fell on his neck, she couldn’t move it even a bit.
His slender neck was also bathed in an orange halo, and his sexy Adam’s apple resembled a steep mountain peak. With a gentle roll, it brought forth a myriad of indescribable ambiguities.
“Brendon… you…” Ranita’s head was spinning from his teasing, her throat felt scorched, making it difficult for her to speak.
Brendon’s gaze was incredibly sharp, not only sharp but also carrying a hint of dangerous anger.
Ranita blinked innocently, trying to explain, “I didn’t purposely ignore your calls. Something happened over here…”
“I’ve already asked the hotel staff about it. Why didn’t you tell me when something like that happened? It was the same when you were splashed with blood. You would rather accept Makhi’s help than come to me?”
“I…” Ranita didn’t know how to explain. It was precisely because she had deep feelings for him that she didn’t dare to trouble him easily, and she didn’t want to reveal her weakness in front of him.
“Ranita, didn’t we agree that you would consider me? That you would stand by my side? You have to give me a chance, let me protect you, let me be your reliance.”
Ranita’s eyes felt a bit sour, and her heart felt uneasy.
“Ranita, if something like this happens again, will you call me right away?” Brendon anxiously waited for over an hour, unable to reach her on the phone, so he decided to come to the hotel directly.
However, as soon as he arrived at the hotel, he heard people discussing it, and Brendon instinctively went to find the hotel manager to inquire. That’s when he learned about the incident involving Ranita.
“I… got it!” Ranita bit her lip and muttered after a while, “Actually, I can handle it myself.”
“Ranita…” Brendon approached, his chin almost brushing against her lips. Ranita’s heart was in chaos, and she couldn’t think straight.
“Give me some space.” Ranita pushed him away. “You’re too close.”
Ranita was only wearing her pajamas, her body pressed against Brendon’s, and the temperature instantly rose.
Brendon was also uncomfortable being rubbed against.
“Do you understand your mistake this time?” His voice lowered, and he didn’t release her as he asked dominantly.
Ranita was slender, but she felt soft to the touch, and there was a faint fragrance lingering on her body. Brendon felt like he was walking on a tightrope, the scorching heat rushing from the soles of his feet to the top of his head, making it difficult for him to restrain himself.
Brendon’s Adam’s apple rolled, and his palm fell along the hem of her clothes onto her lower back.
“You… you…” Ranita couldn’t hold back anymore. Tears welled up at the corners of her eyes, “Don’t touch me.”
“Do you understand your mistake?”
