Chapter 953
As he spoke, Nicholas produced a lemon-scented wipe, meticulously cleaning her fingers one by one.
His touch was gentle, feather-light.
Yet underscored by a deeply possessive focus.
The cool wipe traced the back of her hand.
He swept in slow, deliberate circles from her knuckles down to her fingertips.
He moved with the reverence of a man polishing a priceless artifact.
But as the seconds ticked by p>
His movements grew undeniably suggestive.
The wipe fluttered to the center console.
His thumb grazed her palm, tracing a slow, deliberate line.
He rubbed circles against her sensitive skin, sparking with unmistakable heat.
Serena pulled her hand back, shooting him an amused glare. “Focus on the road, and stop taking advantage of me p>
Nicholas tossed the wipe aside, his tone dropping an octave. “Judging by the way Sebastian was looking at you, I’m guessing he figured out you were the one who ruined the Doyle family’s night at the auction p>
It hadn’t just been the look of an enemy.
It was the look of a predator staring at its next kill.
A kill that excited him.
“So what if he knows?” Serena shrugged casually. “If you had shown up a second later, a broken wrist would have been the least of his problems. You think I’m scared of him p>
Her reputation as the Demon meant everything.
The list of people across Elyndor and the globe trying to put a bullet in her head was endless.
The Doyle family?
They weren’t even qualified to join the queue.
“I know you’re incredible, Serena, and that garbage could never touch you. But a psycho like him… once he sets his sights on someone, he’s like a rat in the sewers. He’ll constantly be watching you, circling you p>
Nicholas’s voice grew dangerously cold, a lethal glint flashing in his predatory gaze. “Serena… let me handle the dirty work. You just focus on keeping your hands clean p>
Serena raised an eyebrow. “Me? The Demon? Keeping my hands clean p>
“I don’t care who you are. When you’re with me, the killing and the destroying is my job.” Nicholas lifted her hand, pressing a soft kiss to her knuckles.
As he lowered his eyelashes.
He concealed the dark, violent storm brewing in his eyes.
That bastard, Sebastian p>
The way he had looked at Serena made him sick to his stomach.
Sick enough that he genuinely wanted to carve the man’s eyes out.
Even knowing Serena would never give Sebastian the chance to get close.
The furious jealousy burning in his chest was impossible to extinguish.
“What? Are you jealous p>
Serena didn’t even need to look at his face; the freezing aura radiating off him gave it away.
The man was profoundly unhappy.
“Yeah. Insanely jealous,” Nicholas admitted without a shred of hesitation, pressing her hand against his cheek.
His stunning, untouchable
demeanor vanished, replaced by the
pathetic, needy look of a massive,
kicked puppy You’re not going to
leave me,
are you, Serena
His breathtaking face paired with those giant, pathetic eyes was dangerously effective.
He really did look like a devoted puppy begging for attention.
Serena laughed, reaching out to run her fingers through his soft hair. Behave yourself of course I’minat leaving you p>
Nicholas’s eyes curved in delight. leaned
practicer, his gorgeous faces
glowing under the warm
sunlight filtering through the Windshield. Content betongs
“I’m always well-behaved p>
He smiled, slowly closing his eyes as he leaned in. “So, do I get a kiss as a reward p>
Serena didn’t know whether to laugh or roll her eyes.
She stared at the man inching closer.
With his eyes closed and that gentle smile on his lips, all of his usual intimidating
arrogance was completely gone.
It left him looking incredibly soft and devastatingly handsome.
The golden light caught the sharp angles of his face, making him look like
something out of a painting.
Her long eyelashes fluttered.
A soft smile broke across her face.
Leaning forward, she gently pressed her lips against his.
