Second Marriage to Mr. Rich (Ned Fletcher) novel Chapter 224

Sean's gaze was intense. It felt as if he wanted to devour Angeline. With each passing moment, his desire grew more robust, filled with a predatory hunger. Angeline had no doubts that she might not survive the night if she admitted her feelings for Sean.

Her breathing steadied slightly. Then, Angeline said, "I'll consider it carefully and give you an answer at Mr. Lawson Senior's birthday banquet."

Sean's gaze was predatory as he looked at Angeline. He cradled the back of her head and initiated another kiss. Her head tilted back, causing her scalp to tingle. Yet, uncontrollably, her hands wrapped around his neck. She reciprocated his advances.

Suddenly, she found herself lifted off the ground. They didn't stop kissing. Sean held Angeline in his arms and allowed her to straddle him. He pressed her waist firmly against himself.

As Angeline noticed a subtle change in Sean, she clung to his shoulders. Her legs felt too weak to sit properly on his. She dodged his passionate kisses.

Her face turned thoroughly red while her heart raced uncontrollably. She avoided Sean's gaze.

Clearing her throat, she said, "I... I still have work to do."

Sean didn't reply. His Adam's apple bobbed slightly. He lifted his hand, then gathered her disheveled hair and tucked it behind her ear. The ear was red as if it would bleed. He kissed her ear as he tried to break through Angeline's resistance to his actions.

No one knew Sean was feeling uneasy deep down. He harbored a conviction, thinking that Angeline would ultimately choose to divorce him. If that were the case, he didn't want to miss any moment. He desired to fulfill his longing for Angeline now. Thus, he wanted nothing more than to be entwined with her until the end.

"Sean..." Angeline's fingers tightened on Sean's shirt. Her eyelashes were wet as her voice carried a sob. It was like the gentle scratch of a kitten's paw on one's heart.
