He Never Loved Me Until the Day I Finally Left Him novel Chapter 1001

Helena didn't fight back.

Sebastian captured her lips in a bruising kiss.

She could feel the violent tension radiating off every inch of his body.

But still, she didn't push him away.

Her complete lack of resistance only twisted the knife deeper into his gut.

"If you feel nothing, why aren't you fighting me?" he rasped against her lips.

"Oh, maybe because the physical sensation is acceptable. I'm just avoiding a relapse," she replied indifferently.

She delivered the cruelest words with effortless honesty.

She knew exactly how much those words would provoke him.

She expected him to storm out in a fury, but he stayed.

He just stared down at her, and a moment later, his dominance took over completely.

"Fine. If that's what you want, I'll give it to you," he gritted out, his jaw rigid as he suppressed his spiraling emotions.

To him, she had become an impenetrable fortress of ice.

No matter what he said or did, nothing could break through.

He gave up entirely, violently surrendering to whatever cold game she was playing.

It was impossible to tell if he was punishing her, or punishing himself.

She lay there passively.

Their bodies were intimately entangled.

They were kissing, but it lacked the scorching heat of lovers; it was a bitter, physical battle for dominance.

Her detachment only made him rougher, more desperate.

Helena couldn't quite describe the sensation.

Her body responded, yet her mind fought a quiet war of resistance.

Knowing they were about to separate left her secretly agonizing over whether she was making the right choice.

Her thoughts were a tangled mess.

To him, her quiet stiffness translated as pure reluctance.

By the end, it was completely unclear who had truly tortured who.

They pushed each other to the absolute limit.

It dragged on until her entire body felt like liquid lead.

Only then did he finally pull away.

He looked down at her flushed face, but made no move to get out of bed.

Without a single word, he scooped her up into his arms and carried her straight to the shower.
