Just to be safe, she intentionally wiggled her hips, taking her seduction to a shamelessly excessive level.
"Stop moving—"
Sterling's face burned crimson. With Xavier watching, he felt like he was the one making a total fool of himself!
"Xavier, Elena is shy, and it's really not a good time. Why don't you... head in first? I'll formally introduce you guys tomorrow!"
As he spoke, the young man's usually crisp voice was heavily strained, practically vibrating with pent-up frustration.
Xavier was an experienced man; he knew a turned-on guy when he heard one.
Because of that, his grip on the steering wheel tightened violently, the veins on his hands bulging out and his knuckles turning a stark, bruised white!
Click.
Suddenly, ignoring his brother completely, he threw the car door open and stepped out to physically inspect her.
Without seeing her face, he refused to let this go.
Hearing the car door unlatch, Elena trembled. Her fingers involuntarily dug into Sterling's hair, pulling hard!
"Ele—mmph!"
Feeling a sharp sting on his scalp, Sterling was just about to shout her name.
In a flash, Elena ducked her head and crushed her mouth against his, forcibly sealing his lips.
The young heir's eyes went wide. He stared blankly at the girl's features, now inches away from his own.
His breath stopped, and his heart hammered wildly against his ribs.
The only thing he could process was the intoxicating wave of her perfume and the soft cascade of her hair pooling on his chest, casting them in shadowy intimacy within the tight confines of the car.
In his daze, the cool, soft touch of her lips felt refreshing and maddening all at once.
Unable to help himself, he instinctively opened his mouth to deepen it—but she pulled back instantly, showing zero lingering affection.
It was as if... the kiss had been nothing more than a split-second impulse, meaning absolutely nothing.
"Babe... I'm so scared..."
Using the kiss to stop him from yelling out her real name, Elena was still completely on edge.
