I Stopped Waiting and Started Loving novel Chapter 189

Bonnie's mind went completely blank.

The touch of his lips was fervent and commanding, carrying an aggressive dominance that allowed no room for refusal.

Her eyes flew wide open, her vision completely filled with Quentin's gaze just inches away.

All of his usual cool restraint had vanished, replaced by a dark, fathomless intensity that looked like a surging undercurrent ready to break free.

She was left entirely at his mercy, completely overwhelmed as he stole her breath away.

Seemingly dissatisfied with her frozen, rigid state, the arm wrapped around her waist tightened, effortlessly lifting her upward.

With a swift spin, Quentin pressed her back against the wall.

One of his hands slid to the small of her back to keep her from sliding down, while his other hand secured the back of her neck.

His palm was broad and hot. Against Bonnie's slender neck, his long fingers wrapped almost entirely from her nape to her jawline.

This posture of absolute control made Bonnie feel an unprecedented sense of danger and entrapment.

She could even clearly feel that, through the thin fabric of their summer clothes, the man's body was undergoing an even more dangerous shift.

The undeniable, overwhelming presence of a fully grown man crashed down on her like a tidal wave.

Bonnie's heart hammered frantically, feeling like it might break through her ribs.

Just as she felt she was about to completely lose her footing, Quentin suddenly let her go.

He lowered his head slightly, pressing his forehead against hers, his chest heaving as he took in ragged, heavy breaths.

Bonnie was still completely dazed, her large eyes wide with shock and disbelief.

Looking at her terrified, frozen expression, a dark, unreadable emotion flickered in Quentin's eyes.

He raised a hand, using his thumb to gently wipe away the glistening moisture at the corner of her lips.

"If there's a next time, it won't just be a kiss."

His voice was impossibly hoarse, laced with a severe warning.

With that, he spun around on his heel and strode hastily toward the master bedroom on his long legs.

It wasn't until the heavy door of the master bedroom clicked shut that the tension in Bonnie's body finally snapped.
