Vengeance in His Bed novel Chapter 154

Chapter 154: Unintentional Temptation

Jannah’s eyes widened as she finally looked down, realizing with a sickening jolt of horror just how revealing her nightgown was. The thin fabric hid absolutely nothing; her breasts, her waist, and the dark shadow between her thighs were completely visible under his intense, burning gaze.

"Did you do this intentionally, Jannah?" Dorrent asked, his voice dropping into a husky growl as his fingers lingered near her hip. "How could you look so sexy and expect me not to touch you? Did you dress like this just to tempt me? Do you want me to take care of your body this morning? Because I am more than willing to do so."

To emphasize his words, Dorrent shifted his weight, pushing his hips forward into her thigh. Jannah felt the sudden, terrifying pressure of his thickening groin—hard with a predatory heat through his trousers—pressing directly against her bare leg.

"Stop!" Jannah shrieked, her voice trembling as she frantically tried to pull the sheets over her body. "It was the only gown I could find in the last night! I was tired and I was too sleepy to look for anything else! It wasn’t intentional!"

Dorrent’s gaze remained glued to her nipples, his breathing turning heavy and uneven as his winter-frost pheromones began to leak from his skin in waves. "You should only be sleeping in this nightgown when you are officially my wife, Jannah," he muttered, his jaw clenching as his eyes flashed with hunger. "Because I like what it is doing to me right now."

Jannah’s throat went dry. Under the intense, suffocating pressure of his scent, her tongue unconsciously flicked out, licking her own lips.

The small, innocent gesture was the final straw for Dorrent’s S-tier restraint.

His eyes blew wide, a dangerous, crimson light flashing within his silver pupils as his grip on her waist tightened to the point of pain. "Watch out with your behavior, Jannah," he delivered in a growl that sent a cold chill down her spine. "Unless you want me to unearth my beast right now and ravage your body on this mattress until you won’t be able to walk for a week. It has been far too long since I have taken you, and my system is running completely wild."

Jannah’s eyes flared with a defiant, bitter rage, her fears twisting into a sharp, defensive venom. "Isn’t that what you always are, Dorrent?!" she retorted sharply, her voice echoing off the walls. "A beast! You are nothing but a perverted monster with a sick, twisted mind! You sexualize every single encounter we have! My grandfather is still at the mogue, and all you can think about is forcing your way between my thighs!"

Dorrent let out a low, mocking scoff, his eyes slowly swiping down her exposed body once more, taking in the flawless curve of her hips and the mesh of her dress.

"Who exactly is doing the sexualizing here, Jannah, if not you?" Dorrent asked, his voice dripping with an arrogant amusement. "How can you expect a dominant Alpha to behave like a saint when you are lying in bed dressed like this? Everything you own is on complete display. You are practically begging my eyes to feast on your skin."

Unable to bear the naked intensity of his gaze, Jannah yanked the blanket up to her neck, burying her body beneath the fabric to block herself from his sight. "Why are you even in my room?!" she demanded, her voice muffled as she glared at him over the edge of the sheet. "Get out!"
