Night of Destiny (Anastasia and Elliot) novel Chapter 2564

Shirley cleared her throat. Zacharias wasn’t old; he was just much older than her.

“Well, you are older than me,” Shirley said diplomatically, leading Zacharias to grunt. “So, you do think I’m old.” Shirley looked up at the man under the light. He was in the prime of his life, and men like him only became more charming with age.

“No, no, you’re not old,” Shirley argued. It won’t do you any good if he gets seriously irritated. Just go along with him, Shirley!

Of course, Zacharias caught the insincerity in her reply, and his mood soured by the second. At that, he got up and said, “Come upstairs with me.” Shirley checked her wristwatch. It was already half past ten. “You go ahead and rest, sir. I’ll go to my room in another moment.” Zacharias went upstairs, and Shirley breathed a sigh of relief. She stayed downstairs for a few more minutes to make sure he had gone upstairs before deciding to return to her room to rest.

and sexy. She pushed open the door and was about to turn on the light when, in the dimly lit room, a tall figure pressed against her. Her red lips were covered by the man’s large palm.

Shirley’s beautiful eyes widened slightly, and in the next moment, the man released his hand over her lips, and his lips took possession of hers with a sense of punishment.

In the dim light, the man’s strong and tall body exuded a powerful and enveloping aura. The air was filled with his masculine pheromones, and tension hung in the air like an intricate web that enveloped Shirley. It was full of temptation, making her want to escape, yet she willingly stayed trapped in this web, enjoying the man’s deep affection.

Her jacket fell to the ground, and her arm had somehow climbed onto the man’s shoulder. The back of her neck was held by the man’s large hand. The feeling of being completely controlled made her go soft all over.

Despite knowing it was forbidden, she couldn’t break free.

“Zacharias…” she called out the man’s name, breathless. The man let out a low chuckle, his forehead touching hers, and his hot breath scattered on her face.
