Lynn felt completely consumed by him. He’s so intense!

Lucas‘ lips found her collarbone, faintly visible beneath her black shirt. A soft, shaky moan escaped her, and only then did he finally stop.
He rested his forehead against hers, letting them both catch their breath.
Lynn was too furious to speak.
He’d finally managed to undo her bra clasp. The way he kneaded her breast just now was so rough, so intense, that it sent a sharp tingle straight to Lynn’s scalp.
Lucas let her go, turned, and left the room, closing the door behind him and leaving Lynn alone.
She gasped for air, trying desperately to calm down. but her heart wouldn’t stop hammering.
She quickly fixed her clothes and scrambled onto the bed to call Daisy.
She really hoped Daisy would hurry. If Lucas came back, who knew what he might do?
Lynn tried Daisy three times, but the calls wouldn’t connect. That was because Lucas had beaten her to it.
Lucas asked. “You headed back?”
Daisy said, “Yeah, but I’m gonna come back now.”
Lucas said. “Don’t bother. My place isn’t welcoming guests right now.”
Daisy was speechless.
Lucas had guessed that if Lynn wanted to leave, she’d send for clothes. Daisy was the one she trusted most.
Daisy looked at her now–silent phone, pursed her lips, and muttered, “Sorry, Lynn. I want to help, but I just don’t know how right now.”
She calmly turned her phone off, made a U–turn, and drove away.
Lucas went downstairs and grabbed some burn ointment from the medicine cabinet. He headed back upstairs while checking the party security feed on his phone.
Lynn paced the room. In her current state, there was no way she could leave. But if she stayed, Lucas would be back any minute.
He’d been completely out of control earlier. Who knew if he could even hold back? And just now–it sure as hell didn’t seem like he was trying to.
She touched the corner of her mouth, frowned, then buried her face in her hands. What am I supposed to
do?

Chapter 536 Such a Tired Old Trick
Lucas had been very thorough. He’d mapped out everything from her waist up.
Just as her anxiety peaked, a knock sounded at the door, and Lucas walked in.

Lynn dove under the covers to hide her legs. She propped herself against the headboard, too nervous to
lie down.
Their eyes met. Lynn quickly looked away, clutching the covers so tightly her knuckles turned white.
Lucas walked over and sat on the edge of the bed. Lynn scooted further in. The only sound in the room was the rustle of fabric.
He looked at her neck, at the faint marks left behind from his loss of control earlier.
Following his gaze, Lynn couldn’t see the marks, but his expression told her everything.
She instinctively touched her neck, her ears burning. He’s such an animal!
Lucas held out the burn ointment. “For the burn. Do you want to do it, or should I—”
Lynn snatched it from him. “I’ll do it myself!”
Lucas looked at his now–empty hand, paused, and slowly lowered it. “I’ll sleep in the study tonight.”
“No need. When Daisy brings my clothes, I’ll drive us both back.” Lynn said, looking at him seriously. “I’m picky about beds.” She added, as if it explained everything.
Lucas glanced silently at the bed. It had been rushed in just a few days ago. The mattress felt exactly like the one at the villa, and even the sheets were the material she liked.
Lynn could fall asleep almost anywhere; she wasn’t picky at all.
Lucas saw her nervousness and felt a pang of guilt. A couple of drinks, a bit of liquid courage, and he’d kissed her without warning, completely losing himself.
I was a real beast back there.
“Daisy’s car broke down. She can’t make it. Just stay here tonight. I’ll sleep in the study,” Lucas said, watching her reaction.
If Lynn insisted on leaving now, he’d probably just take her downstairs. But he hoped she’d stay. Even if they weren’t sharing a room, he wanted her to be part of his life.
I’m completely gone for her.
Lynn pinched the tube of ointment and couldn’t help but smirk at Lucas. “You and Damian are two peas in a pod. Seriously? Using such a tired old trick on me?”
Lucas was taken aback. How does she know? Did Daisy rat me out?
