The Year She Stopped Being Crazy for Him novel Chapter 118

Fortunately, those kickboxing lessons Natalie had been taking paid off. She reacted quickly, driving her knee upward to strike him.

But even intoxicated, he remained frighteningly agile. He forced her thigh down, pinning it with his own weight, and trapped her other leg, rendering her completely immobile.

In the darkness, his eyes gleamed obsidian as he stared down at her. He lowered his head slowly, tracing the shape of her lips with his own. The friction was impossibly gentle, their breaths tangling together in the narrow space.

She parted her teeth and bit down hard with her sharp canines. The metallic tang of blood instantly bloomed, filling her mouth.

Natalie realized Hassan hadn't just had a few drinks—he was completely and utterly wasted.

Halfway through, a sudden wave of panic hit her. She forcefully shoved against his chest. "You don't have..."
