Chapter 377
The moment his lips crashed down on hers, he carried the scent of alcohol and the searing heat unique to him.
It was undeniably aggressive, less a kiss and more a vicious act of plunder.
Through the spotless, floor-to-ceiling glass doors, the restaurant staff peeking from outside had a clear view of the intimate scene.
Their minds were already reeling with shock, silently gossiping among themselves.
The rumors were indeed true. Mr. Sterling’s carefully planned romantic surprise was a total misfire.
If his heart wasn’t so completely occupied by his adopted sister, and if he hadn’t coddled her at every turn, why would his wife be this emotionally dead to him?
She would rather publicly slap the high-and-mighty Mr. Sterling than accept a single ounce of his goodwill.
A group of people hid in a discreet corner outside the door, not daring to make a sound, yet unable to tear their eyes away.
Noticing their presence, Sienna’s face instantly flushed crimson.
She shoved at him, using all her strength to break free from the man crushing her in his embrace.
But her struggles only fueled his aggression.
Sienna’s back was pressed flush against the wall.
Jarred’s tall frame leaned heavily into her, his scorching body heat searing her skin through the thin fabric of her clothes.
He was far too skilled a kisser.
No, it wasn’t even about skill anymore.
It was natural talent blended with countless experiences, resulting in flawless dominance.
His lips possessed hers, meticulously tracing the shape of her mouth.
A reckless entanglement, an invasion, an absolute plunder.
It carried an undeniable, forceful demand that made her scalp tingle.
Sienna’s brain short-circuited.
Her entire body went rigid, waves of physical discomfort and deep-rooted disgust churning wildly within her.
She desperately turned her head to dodge, raising her hands to shove hard against his chest.
But he pinned both her hands behind her back, locking them in place.
The vise-like grip on her wrists was so overpowering she had zero chance of breaking free.
She tried to twist her face away again, but his free hand had already moved to the back of her head.
His large palm held her firmly, immobilizing her and stripping away any chance to evade him.
He had her pinned against the wall so tightly that her toes were practically lifting off the ground.
She could only tilt her head back, forced to endure the kiss.
Her nose was filled with a scent that didn’t belong to her.
His intense, masculine scent rushed at her from every direction like a tidal wave.
It flooded her senses, sinking into her pores, leaving her nowhere to hide.
Sienna was kissed until she could barely breathe.
Tremors wracked her body, a feeling like fine electric currents spreading from her lips.
It made her fingertips tremble and her knees go weak.
Her mind felt like it had been drenched in a bottle of hard liquor dizzy chaotic and completely unable to sober up
It took her a good moment just to catch her breath.
When she finally did, she realized he hadn’t pulled back; instead, he had grown even more reckless.
Days of accumulated grievance and fury exploded wildly in her chest.
“Jarred, you… bastard p>
Sienna clenched her fists tightly. While her mind was still somewhat clear, she gathered every ounce of strength in her body and drove her knee forcefully upward, aiming a vicious kick right at his shin.
Her outfit today was paired with at pair of sharp stiletto heels. The pointed toe concentrated all thë forge making it a highly damaging strike.
The instant her shoe slammed into Jarred’s shin bone, a blinding pain tore through his entire body.
Jarred’s movements faltered, his breathing hitching heavily.
The fingers anchoring the back of her head spasmed slightly from the intense pain.
Yet the excruciating pain didn’t force him to retreat an inch.
Instead, it entirely triggered his obsessive possessiveness.
The kiss instantly turned harder, deeper, and more ruthless.
