Shattered Vows: Call Me Auntie Now novel Chapter 161

The man's grip was brutal. The moment Quinn Yates was slammed against the bathroom wall, a sharp spike of pain shot through her back and the back of her head.

The hairdryer clattered onto the vanity, still emitting a loud, relentless buzzing.

Quinn grimaced in pain, the color draining from her face. "Dante, you're out of your mind!"

In the next second, Dante Hayes's imposing frame closed the distance. One hand seized her arm while the other clamped around her waist, pinning her ruthlessly against the freezing tiles.

Quinn recalled the last two times he had lost his mind and forced a kiss on her just like this.

Blinded by fury, she raised her free hand and slapped him hard across the face.

A sharp *smack* echoed, deafening in the cramped confines of the bathroom.

"What did you say when you called me, Dante? Didn't you say this was just putting on a show for the IPO?!"

Dante took the slap without even lifting a hand to his face, simply freezing in place.

He ground his teeth, his voice raspy and dripping with a bottomless, surging rage.

He kissed her with punishing force, venting all the suppressed fury he had harbored over the past weeks.

His lips crushed hers, determined to shatter the impenetrable walls she had built around her heart using the most primal method he knew.

With her back flat against the wall and her entire body rigid, Quinn instinctively turned her head to evade him, but his hand clamped around the nape of her neck, denying her any chance to retreat.

Their breaths tangled in a heavy, suffocating atmosphere. It was a gridlock of intimacy and hostility—a suffocating battle of wills belonging only to the two of them.

Furious, Quinn tried to use her old trick, but Dante saw right through her. The moment she tried to bite his lip, he caught her jaw and pinched it so hard her eyes welled with tears.

Dante was acting like an enraged predator right now; her resistance only fueled a more aggressive conquest.

The heavy sound of their ragged breathing filled the entire bathroom.

Right at that moment—
