Chapter 305
Chapter 305:
He stepped into my space, his massive frame boxing me in against the cold metal of the car door. The scent of ancient cedar spiked, turning aggressive, warning, and fiercely possessive.
“Kain p>
He didn’t let me finish. His hands framed my face, and his mouth crashed down on mine.
It wasn’t a gentle kiss. It was a storm—a brutal, undeniable claim that tasted of power and absolute ownership. A violent surge of electricity exploded across every inch of my skin where we touched. My knees instantly buckled, and I had to grip the lapels of his dark Henley just to stay standing. My mind went entirely blank, completely conquered by the sheer force of his invasion.
Through the roaring blood in my ears, I barely registered a sharp, distant crack echoing from the dark corner of the garage—like cheap plastic shattering under a desperate, bloody fist. Kain swallowed my gasp, his grip tightening on my waist as if answering the muffled sound with a ruthless victory.
When he finally pulled away, my lips were swollen and my chest was heaving. I was completely dazed, branded by his touch.
Kain’s eyes gleamed with a dark, predatory satisfaction. He didn’t explain. He simply guided me into the passenger seat, shut the door, and slid behind the wheel.
Instead of starting the engine immediately, Kain rolled down his window. He turned his head, his gaze pinning that unremarkable, shadowed corner with absolute, freezing contempt. Then he reached for the center console and cranked the audio system to maximum volume.
A ridiculously upbeat pop song blasted through the cavernous garage, its cheerful lyrics echoing off the concrete like a public execution.

“You’re my one and only p>
The sheer mockery of the cheerful melody against the heavy, suffocating tension was deafening. Kain held his stare for one more agonizing second, ensuring whoever was hiding in that corner was thoroughly, entirely broken. Then he hit the ignition, and the Aston Martin roared to life, peeling out of the garage and leaving the shadows behind.
The silence in the car was thick as we merged onto the Manhattan streets. My mind was still spinning, my lips still burning from his claim.
“That was completely unnecessary,” I finally managed to say, my voice trembling as I tried to rebuild my shattered defenses. “You crossed the line. That was a direct violation of our arrangement p>
Kain kept his eyes on the road, his grip relaxed on the steering wheel. He didn’t look the least bit apologetic.
“If you feel I took advantage of you, Adelina,” he rumbled, his voice a low, magnetic purr that vibrated straight through my core, “you are more than welcome to kiss me back tonight. We can call it even p>
My jaw dropped. The sheer, arrogant audacity of the Lycan left me entirely speechless.
I opened my mouth to argue, found absolutely no words, and sharply turned my head to look out the passenger window. I stared blindly at the passing city blocks, desperately trying to calm my racing heart—and fighting a losing battle against the small, traitorous smile tugging at the corner of my lips.
