Chapter 285 Don’t Fall in Love With Anyone else
Anastasia should have pushed Elliot away, but her body froze as if someone had put a stop button on her. A wave of heat rose from her torso and reached her cheek. Her heart pounded in her chest, and all she could do was watch his kiss falling down on her.
“Elliot, don’t do this…” When his lips were about to reach hers, she made some half-hearted efforts to stop him.
But Elliot seemed to know that her resistance didn’t reflect her actual feelings. The corner of his lips curled up, and he sealed his lips over hers. The bamboo forest was peaceful, and muffled sounds from the banquet hall were all that reached their ears, but that didn’t matter.
Anastasia’s head was on his warm, muscular chest, and she could feel his heart hammering against hers. It felt safe yet dangerous.
He provided a sense of security while also emanating a sense of danger.
The stars in the sky sprinkled down on the bamboo forest. And in the forest, a man was pouring his heart and soul into the woman in his arms.
At that moment, Anastasia’s mind was shifting between two different states. One was making her mind go blank and dizzy, but the other was dreamy and mesmerizing; she couldn’t help but sink deeper into this wonderful dream that Elliot had brought her into.
This kiss had put her heart into turmoil; she felt bashful and sweet.
For Elliot, the warmth and elegant fragrance of Anastasia’s body transformed into a comforting therapy, leaving him addicted to it and unwilling to let go of her.
Moreover, this feeling reminded him of that night five years ago, but he quickly shook the thought off. At this moment, he didn’t want to think about another woman’s scent while he was kissing her.
Finally, as Anastasia sensed through the clothes that Elliot was becoming more dangerous, she quickly came back to her senses. Tonight was Old Madam Presgrave’s birthday party, and it was inappropriate to kiss in this setting.
So, she slightly pushed him away. Elliot let go of her and rested his forehead against hers. His black eyes reflected her blushed face as he said in a husky voice, “Don’t fall in love with anyone else but me.”
Anastasia’s lips curved up as she replied, “Does President Presgrave lack self-confidence today?”
As soon as he heard her, his eyes glowed with a strong possessiveness. “You can only be mine,” he claimed as he held her tightly in his arms.
Anastasia looked up and blinked her eyes at Elliot a few times. Her eyes were reflecting the starlights and his face.
