Chapter 344 An Unexpected Visitor

Shawn.

Why is he here?

That night, he’d nearly worn Lara out completely.

Of course, she also blamed her own lack of self–control.

“What are you doing here?” she snapped.

“Why didn’t you come to me?” Shawn said.

As soon as their eyes met, he cupped the back of her head with one hand, stepped inside without hesitation, and pinned her against the wall by the entryway.

“I… I had no reason to,” Lara said, rolling her eyes in irritation.

“What? Was my performance that night so disappointing that you felt nothing for me at all?” His lips brushed her ear, his cool breath feathering against her skin.

“Your performance was nothing special, so no. I feel nothing,” Lara said firmly.

His gaze darkened. “Then whose performance is so impressive? I should go ask for pointers.”

Who could I compare him with?

She’d always had a weakness for handsome men, but in truth, Shawn was the only man she’d ever slept with.

“You can try one of those private clubs that keep male escorts on staff. They have plenty of experience. Maybe you should go learn from them,” Lara said.

The words struck him as if she had hit a nerve. He suddenly bent down and bit her lip.

Pain shot through her.

He was biting her again. Even if he didn’t break the skin this time, it still hurt.

“You-

Before she could finish, his mouth covered hers, kissing her fiercely.

Her lips felt captured and overturned, pulled into a breathless tangle he controlled entirely. His mouth worked over hers, stealing her air until she could barely breathe.

“Shawn… you… stop…” she protested between gasps,

attempting to push him away, but his body only pressed harder

against hers. By the time he finally eased back, she was left 2/6 breathless, her lips numb.

His long fingers tilted her chin, and he whispered, as if coaxing, “Then let me study properly. I learn quickly. A few more lessons and I can guarantee you’ll be satisfied.”

Lara froze.

What is that supposed to mean?

Before she could even process it, Shawn swept her up in his arms and strode toward her bedroom.

It took Lara a full second to react.

He’s not planning to…

“Put me down. I am not sleeping with you!” she hissed.

“But I want to,” he said.

“Just because you want to doesn’t mean I have to-”

“Lara, I’m almost done showering. Want to shower now?” Riley’s voice floated out from the bathroom.

Lara jolted violently. She had forgotten Riley was home.

“No, no, I’m good!” she shouted back.

Shawn lifted a brow. “Riley’s back?” 3/6

“Yes, she is. So you can… leave. Now,” Lara said.

She almost said “scram“, but she knew that might only make him stay longer.

“If you want me to leave, kiss me. If I’m happy, I will go,” Shawn said.

All Lara wanted was to get this over with quickly. The last thing she needed was for Riley to walk out and find her being carried around like this.

Without hesitation, she hooked an arm around Shawn’s neck and planted a quick kiss on his lips.

It was only a quick, feather–light kiss that barely counted as

contact.

He looked down at her. “How old do you think I am? Do I look too young to know what a real kiss is?”

Lara swallowed her frustration. She had no time to debate.

So she grabbed him again and kissed him properly, sucking at his lower lip, slipping inside his mouth, deepening the kiss herself.

After a moment, she glared at him. “Happy now?”

4/6,

His half–lidded eyes focused on her, dark and unreadable.

God, it’s Riley.

“Leave,” she whispered urgently.

He looked at her, and just as Riley stepped out of the bathroom, Shawn carried Lara straight into her bedroom.

Lara stared at him in disbelief, whispering harshly, “I said leave. Did you not hear me?”

“I left the living room,” he replied calmly.

She nearly choked.

He’s playing word games with me now?

“Fine,” she muttered, exhaling sharply. “Wait until Riley goes to her room, and then leave.”

Shawn’s expression deepened. “Why? Am I that shameful to you? Since Riley’s home, perhaps I should step out and greet her.”

“No!” Lara blurted instantly.

“No?” His eyes narrowed, a dangerous glint emerging.

A chill ran down her spine. His expression was unsettling, almost predatory.

my bedroom, it’ll be awkward,” she said.

“Awkward?” Shawn looked at her with a quiet mockery. “Are you sure it’s awkward? Or is it that you simply don’t want to be associated with me at all?”
