Begging for a Second Chance (Sienna Sloan and Jarred Sterling) novel Chapter 492

"Physical contact is inevitable during training." Jarred's expression was calm. "Dr. Sloan, you're being too sensitive."

"I'm not being sensitive, I'm repulsed," Sienna retorted without hiding her emotions.

"Repulsed?"

Jarred repeated the word in a low voice, taking a slight step forward.

They were inches apart, their breaths mingling.

His tall frame completely enveloped her, the oppressive tension hitting her face.

He lowered his gaze to the tense, flushed tips of her ears, his voice dropping to a low, commanding seduction.

"You used to love it when I got close to you like this after training. You loved keeping me company for the whole session. What, things have changed, and now I'm that unbearable to you?"

The intense warmth of the past, contrasted with her current irritation, slammed into Sienna's chest, throwing her emotions into complete chaos.

She met his scorching gaze, her eyes blazing with anger.

"The past is the past, and right now is right now. We've been over for a long time."

"Over?" Jarred let out a soft chuckle, the smile not reaching his eyes. "I didn't agree to it, so it's not over."

Staring at the impossibly stubborn man in front of her, the anger pooling in Sienna's chest finally snapped.

"Jerk!"

Without a second of hesitation, she raised her hand. *Smack!*

A hard slap landed squarely on Jarred's handsome face.

Jarred stood there, completely motionless.

A stark red mark instantly bloomed across his striking cheek, yet it didn't diminish his dominating, oppressive aura in the slightest.

He clearly could have dodged it, but he let the slap land.

After a few seconds of dead silence, he slowly raised his eyes.

His dark pupils were heavy. There wasn't a shred of anger in them; instead, a dangerous glint surged within.

"Very well."
