Elias Hawthorne didn’t expect Raina North to be so stubborn.
He didn’t get angry, just held Raina like that, but the large hand clasping her waist started to misbehave, his rough thumb rubbing against her slender waist.
The sensitivity there quickly spread throughout her body.
Raina’s face flushed red, and she couldn’t help but growl Elias’s name: "Let go of me!"
"Raina, don’t say such naive things, or else, I really want to tear everything apart and... do whatever I please with you." Elias’s voice was calm, yet urgent and restrained.
Did this man really think she cared? She was not the one affected by poison or injury!
She could endure him, only for the sake of him not hurting Casper, but did he really think he could control her?
"Mr. Hawthorne." Raina took a deep breath, biting her teeth hard, and said word by word: "I greatly respect your noble spirit of doing anything for your son, and I am glad to have not failed my mission. If you want to express gratitude, you can pay some extra medical fees; attempts at compensating with your body are uncalled for."
"Really?" Elias suddenly chuckled.
"Of course..." Of course it’s true!
Raina originally wanted to answer with certainty.
But when her gaze met Elias’s captivating eyes filled with amusement, she got stuck.
This man was actually trying to seduce her!
Although she has seen many handsome men, a calamity to the country like Elias was truly a first.
Especially since he was evidently trying to seduce her.
Elias let out a low laugh, his large hand clasping the back of her neck, forcefully kissing her pink lips.
Before she could react, his tongue invaded her mouth, forcefully plundering every bit of her sweetness.
Raina was stunned, she didn’t expect Elias to be so audacious, and for a moment forgot to struggle.
Elias’s eyes were ablaze, and his invasive actions became even more aggressive.
The swelling pain from the contact of their lips and tongues brought Raina back to her senses, noticing the man’s hand stroking her back, she raised her hand to slap him in anger.
However, before her fingers even touched Elias, her wrist was restrained.
"Elias!" Raina gritted her teeth.
Her beautiful eyes blazing with fire, filled with the words rogue, scoundrel, shameless bastard.
Elias couldn’t help but laugh lowly: "Raina, I wouldn’t mind being known as afraid of my wife, but I wouldn’t want others speaking ill of you behind your back."
"Stop spouting nonsense here! Let go of me!"
Elias raised his hand, stroking her lips, her once pink lips now red and swollen, exuding a decadent allure, making one even more tempted to pick. Tʜe sourcᴇ of thɪs content ɪs NoveI-Fire.ɴet
His eyes darkened further, his hoarse voice full of unspoken seduction: "I really don’t mind, as long as it’s you, I don’t mind at all; if you don’t believe it, then go ahead and try."
After speaking, he released her wrist.
Raina watched the excitement in his eyes and couldn’t help but curse softly.
Damn, Elias might actually have a masochistic streak!
The more he acted , the less Raina dared to move rashly, worried that Elias might actually use this as an opportunity to blackmail her.
Her intuition told her that Elias was entirely capable of that!
Raina took several deep breaths, her fiery eyes looking down at him: "Then go ahead, continue if you dare, as long as you’re not afraid of dying halfway on top of me!"
"Is it that serious?" Elias looked at Raina’s bristling demeanor, chuckling lightly: "I’d better hold back. If I really die, you taking the three kids and remarrying another man, I’m afraid I’d come back to life out of anger."
