Angeline's eyes widened in shock.
Sean pressed his lips to hers. He was as dominant as before, taking her breath away.
Her mind went blank. Sean's body pressed against hers, causing her to feel embarrassed.
Angeline panicked and pushed him away with all her strength, but Sean pressed both of her hands against the door with one hand. He deepened the kiss.
The feelings Sean had been holding back were released. He had replayed the scene of that night repeatedly in his mind.
The greed and possessiveness he had never expressed before seemed to erupt after his confession.
Despite Sean's usually calm and collected demeanor, his emotions always seemed to spiral out of control when it came to Angeline.
When Angeline appeared to be out of breath, Sean finally freed her.
Panting, Angeline looked at Sean. She was frozen.
Without his glasses, Sean's features were strikingly aggressive, with deep-set eyes, a high nose bridge, and sharp facial contours.
Neither of them spoke. The atmosphere in the doorway became suffocating as underlying desires surged.
Sean traced her swollen lips gently with his fingers.
"Have I made myself clear this time?" he said huskily.
Sean had suppressed his feelings before because of Angeline's deep connection to Ned, whom she saw as her destiny.
