The kiss was scorching and chaotic as if he intended to melt her completely. Under such an assault, Aveline's resistance gradually weakened. Sensing her relaxation, Lucas loosened his grip and turned her around to face him.
"Slap!"
A crisp sound echoed in the darkness, neither of them able to see each other's faces clearly.
Aveline's breath was rapid and uneven, her voice hoarse. "Lucas, I could charge you with harassment."
Lucas let out a low laugh. "Then maybe I should go all the way and make it a case of marital rape instead?"
"You..." Aveline was momentarily at a loss for words. Though she couldn’t see his expression, the atmosphere around them was cold and threatening. She knew she couldn't provoke him any further.
She pressed her lips together, still feeling the lingering warmth from his lips. "Could you not do this, please?"
Lucas responded, "If I don’t do this, will you let me kiss you?"
Silence fell over Aveline again.
Lucas reached out, his fingers caressing her face. "I want to kiss you, hold you, sleep with you. What do you say to that?"
Aveline pushed his hand away. "That's your problem, not mine."
She tried to create distance between them, but even though he wasn't holding her, his tall figure remained close, leaving her no room to escape.
"It absolutely concerns you," Lucas said in a deep voice. "Because you're the one I want, and I still need your consent for all those things. Do you agree?"
Aveline laughed out of frustration. "Did you ask for my consent just now?"
"No." His answer was straightforward.
Aveline didn't want to continue this entanglement with him. She pushed against his chest. "Move."
Lucas grasped her wrist. "I don't want to."
