Chapter 465 Let Me Have You
“I… uh… Please don’t misunderstand the situation. My mom insisted that I take care of you. I took off your clothes to clean your body. I bear no feelings toward you,” she solemnly said as she nodded.
Kieran had yet to sober up, and Inez’s words hurt him. “So, you’re saying that I’m not charming at all? I can’t believe you feel nothing toward me even though you took off my clothes.”
Inez was confused to hear that.
What does that mean? Is he really hoping that I’d do something to him? But if I touch him while he’s intoxicated, then wouldn’t I be a criminal?
As she mulled over a proper explanation, she stared at his face. It was then she realized that he had a gloomy look in his eyes despite his red cheeks. It was as if he was feeling aggrieved.
It was… surprisingly cute.
Right as she was lost in her thoughts, Kieran grabbed her wrist again and said in a pitiful tone, “Inez, did I hurt you too badly the other time? Is that why you don’t like me anymore? You don’t even feel anything even though you saw my body…”
“Uh…” Inez was speechless.
Kieran had been reading cheesy one-liners and learning flirting techniques every night. He was even practicing the methods that Treyton had taught him previously. If everything failed, he would then resort to his beauty to try to captivate her.
This was something he would never do if he were sober, but he was taking the opportunity of his drunken stupor to do the bold act at the moment.
In fact, he even grabbed her hand and placed it on his chest, letting her touch his burning skin.
As he landed his unfocused gaze on Inez, he muttered, “You’ve already seen and touched my body, so you have to bear the consequences of that.”
Inez’s lips twitched. It was her first time seeing someone trying to con another in this way. Moreover, that someone was Kieran Harris, an arrogant and composed man.
“Kieran, is there nothing but alcohol in your head now? Why aren’t you using your brain?”
Kieran ignored her comment and pulled her hand toward his abs. He even pinched her fingers to force her to squeeze his flesh.
His abs felt good to the touch, and Inez’s face turned red. She tried to retract her hand, but Kieran had a tight grip on her.
With an exasperated look on her face, she huffed. “What’s wrong with you? Was something else added to your wine? How can you do something perverted like this?”
Kieran’s eyes were still unfocused and watery. “You’re the pervert; you’re touching me. You don’t even want to admit it!”
Again, Inez was at a loss for words.
She never thought that Kieran would act in this way after getting drunk.
She pondered if he would be struck with immense shame and would want the ground to swallow him. whole if he were to find out that he had done such shameless things while he was inebriated.
Nevertheless, Inez was starting to feel annoyed by his infuriating actions. She gritted out, “You probably won’t remember what you’ve done by the time you sober up, so don’t blame me for not showing any mercy to you!”
With the ferocity of a butcher going after a lamb, she sat on Kieran’s body and hissed, “Kieran Harris, I’m going to show you what a real pervert is tonight!”
With that, she ran her hands roughly all around his pectorals and abs until his skin was bright red.
“Do you see that? Now I’m taking advantage of you!”
Kieran’s mind was clouded with alcohol, and somehow, her rough touching made him hard.
Immediately, he shot out his hand to snatch her wrist.
Before she could come back to her senses, Kieran turned around and pinned her below him.
“You-”
As he propped himself up with one arm, he covered her mouth with his other hand.
It was tough for him to hold his heavy head up, but he managed to gently rest his forehead against hers, the tips of their noses touching.
They could feel each other’s breaths.
Kieran was a hair’s breadth away from her, and when his warm breath caressed her cheeks, her face. flushed.
His intoxicating alcoholic fragrance only made her heart race even faster.
Kieran whispered, melancholy and desire lacing his voice, “Inez, let me have you.”
There had to be an irresistible allure about him, as Inez did not reject him for the first time.
Thus, Kieran boldly removed his hand from her mouth and leaned down toward her lips.
The atmosphere seemed to grow warmer, fueled by the intensity of their passion.
The two of them kissed fervently, and just as they were about to surpass their last line of defense, a set of footsteps that traveled into Inez’s ear snapped her back to reality.
A thought popped into her head, and she quickly pushed Kieran away before moving up to look at the opened door.
Madelyn was holding onto a pot of coffee, frozen by the doorway.
An awkward look crossed Inez’s face, and she hastily waved her hand before crying out, “Morn, it’s not what it seems! We didn’t do anything!”
Madelyn glanced at Kieran, who had collapsed back onto the bed after Inez pushed him away. A look of irritation appeared on her face before she snapped, “How can you give up at the very last minute, my girl? So what if I saw you two? I can always close the door for you. Why did you stop?”
Inez nearly dropped her jaw.
She could not believe her mother would say that after seeing her daughter almost doing the intimate act with a man.
As if reading her mind, Madelyn said, “I’ve done this before, and it’s not as if I’ve never come across situations like this. All right, don’t stop. Go on. You might as well find yourself a spouse and quickly marry someone. Your dad and I have been fretting over this matter for years.”
Inez could only blink in response.
Putting down the pot of coffee by the table beside the door, Madelyn winked at Inez. “Just pretend as if I’ve never been here. Go on. You’ve got to continue.”
Then, she quietly closed the door behind her.
Inez had never been so dumbfounded before. Lowering her head to look at the still-drunk Kieran, she gloomily wondered, What happened to me just now? I can’t believe I nearly did it with him without closing the door. Am I drunk from Kieran’s alcohol scent?
At that, she smacked her forehead, remorseful and frustrated.
