Second Marriage to Mr. Rich (Ned Fletcher) novel Chapter 158

Angeline's mind went blank for a moment. A familiar yet unfamiliar masculine scent enveloped her, tinged with a faint smell of alcohol. The kiss wasn't deep, but Angeline felt as though she was suffocating.

As Angeline grew lost in thought, Sean released her lips and rested his forehead against hers.

"Is that okay?" he asked.

His rich, deep voice filled her ears, causing her to heat up.

"W-what?" Angeline spoke with a trembling voice.

Sean lifted his hand to touch her delicate, fair cheek.

He caressed her lips with his thumb and asked, "May I kiss you?"

Without waiting for Angeline's response, he pressed his thin lips on hers again.

His breath, mixed with alcohol, filled her lungs and clouded her mind. She felt her face burn up. She panicked, pushed him away, and turned her head.

"You're drunk!" she exclaimed.

Just as she pushed him away slightly, Sean grabbed both of her wrists from behind with one hand. He sealed her lips again, pressing her waist toward him with the arm that held her wrists. He deepened the kiss as he grew more forceful.

The car keys and the hangover remedy bag slipped from Angeline's hands. The sound was loud in the quiet entryway, startling Angeline into further panic.

She wanted to end the kiss. She struggled one hand free from Sean's grip and pressed it against his chest. But Sean's hot body pinned her against the door with significant force. She had no room to retreat.

Suddenly, Sean scooped Angeline up, who had gone limp as if he was holding a child. Angeline exclaimed and clung to Sean's neck. She looked down at the heavily breathing man.
