Noticing the smug expression on his face, Ashlyn’s blush deepened.
She glared at him and hissed, “What are you laughing at?”
She was sorely tempted to slap the man six ways to Sunday.
“Honey, aren’t you happy?” He flipped the blankets aside, not giving her the chance to escape. Throughout the process, he did not move his gaze away from her lovely face, noting the proud and cool look in her eyes. There was also a hint of something he could not understand.
Slowly but surely, he approached her like one would a cornered animal.
Once more, he opened his mouth and what came out was arrogant in the extreme, “Honey, don’t try to escape from me.”
Fury flashed through Ashlyn’s orbs. “Lucas Nolan, stop this madness, you hear me?”
If it were not for the Spirogyra, there’s no way I would be controlled by this man!
She would have broken off all ties with him and disappeared from his life forever!
Her distant and aloof demeanor had Lucas’ eyes narrowing in displeasure. The temperature around them seemed to drop several degrees.
“Ashlyn Berry, let me repeat myself one more time. I’m entirely serious in courting you.” As usual, his tone of voice was final.
“You’re crazy...” she muttered. If even the ancient martial arts clan had to listen to his orders, then he was a bigger mystery than she imagined.
There’s definitely more than meets the eye with him. Other than being the president of Nolan Group and the head of South Star Airlines, there must still be something more. Some deep, dark secret that he doesn’t want anybody to know...
Enduring the protest of her sore muscles, she trudged her way to the bathroom to clean up.
Somehow, resisting and rejecting his advances put her in a terrible mood.
A wave of frustration swelled in Lucas. Do I not treat her well? Why won’t she stay by my side? This is the first time I’ve wasted so much time and effort on a woman!
Fury blazed in his eyes and he growled menacingly, “I’ve spoiled and pampered you too much so far. You have no idea what a real crazy person is like. Ashlyn, my patience has its limits. Don’t test it.”
With that said, he lunged toward her. Ashlyn raised her leg on reflex to kick at him. “Lucas Nolan, get the f*** away from me!”
He grabbed her heel and reeled her in before pinning her to the bed again.
“Honey, don’t try to leave me or else I’ll make it so you’ll never be able to leave the bed!”
