Chapter 903:
Austin’s sharp jawline tensed, and a flicker of emotion stirred deep within his dark eyes.
He reached out and gently pulled Yelena into his arms, wrapping his hand firmly around her waist.
His palm was warm and slightly calloused, pressing firmly against her slender waist. Even through the fabric of her clothes, she could feel the heat of his touch spreading across her skin.
“I truly can’t bear to let you go,” Austin murmured, lowering his head as he gazed at Yelena. His breath, warm and damp, brushed softly against her skin.
A shiver rippled through Yelena’s body as she felt a jolt of electricity shoot up her spine to the crown of her head, as though she had been struck by a bolt of lightning.
Her red lips parted slightly, as though she were about to speak. Austin’s chiseled features appeared to loom closer to her, his uniquely masculine scent enveloping her.
She was just a hair’s breadth away from kissing him.
Yelena’s heart pounded heavily, countless thoughts running through her mind.
Feeling a bit nervous, she subconsciously ran her tongue over her lips. In that moment, Austin’s self-control cracked. The mask of restraint he had carefully maintained crumbled as he cupped her chin, tilting her face upward and drawing her even closer…
After a long, passionate kiss, Yelena rested her head on Austin’s chest, her breath coming in short, ragged gasps.
Even though this was their second kiss, Yelena still found herself so overwhelmed that she could hardly breathe, as though her lungs had been deprived of air and were now on the verge of imploding.
Austin, still unsatisfied, ran his fingers through her silky hair. “Try to remember to breathe next time,” he said.
Yelena’s face turned an even deeper shade of red, heat spreading all the way to her ears. Feeling utterly flustered, she gave Austin a dazed nod.

Seeing her so cute made it even more difficult for Austin to let go.
Suddenly, there was a knock at the door. It was Domenic, Austin’s assistant. “Mr. Barton, Mrs. Barton asked me to remind you that it’s time to board,” he announced.
At the sound of Domenic’s voice, Yelena jolted in surprise and quickly pushed Austin away slightly.
She took a few deep breaths, attempting to steady her racing heart.
“Come in,” Austin said.
Having worked for Austin for years, Domenic could immediately tell from his boss’s tone that he wasn’t pleased about being interrupted. Cautiously, Domenic opened the door and stepped inside. “Mr. Barton p>
Austin nodded at Domenic. “Is the car ready p>
“It’s waiting outside the airport for Miss Roberts p>
Right in front of Domenic, Austin pulled Yelena into his arms once more, his head nestled against her hair as he inhaled her scent. He had hoped it would calm him down, but instead, it only unsettled him further.
He knew he couldn’t keep going like this.
Gently, Austin put some distance between them, his hand lingering as he brushed over her hair. “Wait for me to return p>
Yelena nodded, her voice barely above a whisper. “Alright p>
Domenic couldn’t hide his surprise.
In his eyes, Yelena had always radiated strength and authority. This was the first time he had seen her in such a gentle and submissive light.
