Divorced CEO's Forgotten Wife Strikes Back (Riley and Bryce) novel Chapter 336

Chapter 336 The Intimacy

Lara’s body went rigid.

Good grief.

Shawn was actually using his looks to get to her.

He knew all too well that her self–control was weak, especially when it came to him. Her resistance and willpower were never strong in this area, and yet he still chose to do this.

“Lara, women who wanted to control me in bed never got the chance. I gave that chance only to you. Want to use it?”

She stared at him in silence.

The light in the room fell across Shawn’s body, making every detail of his expression and physique clearer.

He was lean and solid, muscular without being excessive.

She hated to admit it, but Shawn’s face and body were both exactly her type.

Naturally, with that kind of temptation in front of her, her willpower weakened even further.

“Lara, do you really not want this?” he continued.

Lara kept inhaling, struggling to hold on to logic. But the moment he lifted his chin and pressed his throat deliberately against her lips, her restraint finally snapped.

She flipped suddenly and pushed him beneath her.

“Tonight, you listen to me,” she said.

“All right.” He smiled a little, and satisfaction flickered in his

eyes.

As long as she was focused only on him and stopped looking for other men, he’d listen to her. Only her.

Watching her move above him made the curve of Shawn’s mouth deepen.

If he had known he would spend years unable to forget her, he would never have ended their relationship in the first place.

Still, even if he was late by a few years, he told himself it was not too late.

“Sebastian, you are my son. One day, you will become exactly like me.”

“You’re his son. You’ll be just like him. You’ll become a demon Don’t cling to me. I will not be your mother. I wish I had never given birth to you.”

A man’s voice and a woman’s voice tangled together in his head until they felt like countless sharp needles piercing his thoughts.

The world in front of him drowned in blood–red color, spreading uncontrollably until it engulfed him entirely.

No. No, not this.

Stop talking. Stop making those sounds.

He screamed the words inside himself and jolted awake. Darkness met his eyes.

Sebastian gasped and pushed himself upright, only then realizing his entire body was drenched in cold

Even though he had taken sleeping pills before bed, he still had not managed to sleep through the night.

He stood and glanced at Riley sleeping beside him.

She hadn’t woken.

Moonlight filtered through the curtains and fell across her face, serene and undisturbed.

She had said he wasn’t like Gregory.

But was that really true?

Gregory’s and Audrey’s voice in the dream felt like a prophecy. As if they were foretelling that he would eventually become the same kind of man.

If that day really came, how would she treat him? What kind of look would she give him?

A dull ache throbbed behind his eyes.

Sebastian shook his head and told himself to stop thinking about

He left the room and walked downstairs to the bathroom.

When he looked at his reflection in the mirror, his face was shockingly pale.

Was it because of the dream? Or was it because Gregory had appeared earlier that day?

It felt as if something buried deep inside him had been stirred up again.

Sebastian turned on the faucet and let the icy water wash over

him.

After a long while, he stepped out of the bathroom and saw Riley standing outside.

He froze. “Did I wake you?”

“Not exactly. I am a light sleeper, Riley said.

She had sensed when he woke, and when he hadn’t returned to the bedroom after a long time, she had gotten up to find him.

Gregory had visited during the day, and ever since, Sebastian had not seemed quite himself.

She had been worried, which was why she came downstairs.

“Why are you showering?” she asked. It was the middle of the night.

“I had a nightmare and woke up drenched in sw shower,” he said.

Just as he moved to walk past her, she stopped him. “Wait.”

He paused.

She stepped into the bathroom and returned with a towel. “Your hair is still wet.”

She held the towel out to him, but instead of taking it, Sebastian bent down in front of her.

He looked almost like a large dog waiting for someone to dry its fur.

Riley hesitated before placing the towel over his head and gently drying his hair.

His voice reached her through the fabric. “I want a drink later. Will you sit with me for a while?”
