Zacharias’ gaze was clearly filled with reluctance and he couldn’t help but take a step closer to her. His dominant eyes were still fixed on her rosy lips as if he wanted to come closer once again.
However, Shirley pushed him away firmly this time and it was her turn to assertively warn him. “Zacharias, stay away from me.”
He seemed to be taken aback. He took a shallow breath and apologized. “I’m sorry. I crossed the line.”
Shirley’s first kiss had just been stolen by this man moments ago, and that was indeed an offense.
“You’re drunk. Go to your room and rest.” She turned away and attributed the kiss to his drunken state so she didn’t need to pursue this matter further.
Was Zacharias really drunk? Of course not. He had a good tolerance for alcohol and the wine he was drinking wasn’t very strong.
“All right. You should get some sleep too,” Zacharias said. Then, he turned and went upstairs.
Shirley let out a sigh of relief. Her heart was still pounding. Her mind was filled with the sensations of the kiss and the unfamiliar response that had surged through her body just moments ago.
What was going on? She liked Cole. If she kissed Cole, it was normal for her to feel something. Why did she feel something too when Zacharias kissed her?
Shirley shook off these thoughts. In any case, this was not right..
After extinguishing the fire in the fireplace, she blew out the candles and went upstairs. The light on the second floor was dim, and she thought Zacharias had gone to sleep in his room, but he was still sitting there. Moreover, it was cold at night, and he was only wearing a vest, without a coat..
Shirley went downstairs responsibly, picked up his coat from the couch, and handed it to him. “It’s cold at night. Put on the coat!”
Zacharias took the coat from her, and he apologized again. “I’m sorry for what happened just now.”
“Don’t drink so much next time.” She reminded him. She still treated that kiss as a mistake made under the influence of alcohol.
She turned to go in the direction of the guest room, but just after a few steps, the man behind her suddenly asked, “Was that your first kiss just now?”
Shirley’s steps paused, and she instinctively refuted, “Of course not.” If this man found out that it was her first kiss, would he be very pleased? She was a girl who didn’t want to be underestimated, so even in matters of love, she had a bit of a strong-willed attitude.
Zacharia fixed his gaze on her. Her awkwardness and reactions just now told him that it was indeed her first kiss.
“Get some rest,” he said. Upon seeing that he stopped asking, Shirley didn’t know why, but she felt frustrated.
“I really like my boyfriend. Mr. Flintstone, please be more restrained in the future.” Her cold gaze turned to the man on the couch.
“Miss Lloyd, I also quite like you.” Zacharias raised an eyebrow, and the spotlight above his head was reflected in his eyes. They were straightforward and candid.
Just as Shirley had just sorted out her emotions, they were now in disarray again. She swallowed before saying, “Thank you for liking me, but my heart already belongs to someone else. Please like someone else to avoid wasting your feelings!”
After saying this, she walked quickly toward her bedroom, closed the door, and clutched her rapidly beating heart. The image of Zacharias’ face was still in her mind.
She took off her coat, changed into the pajama hat she had brought, lay down in bed, and decided to sleep. If she slept, she wouldn’t overthink..
However, she couldn’t sleep no matter what, especially after taking a nap in the afternoon and drinking coffee. Every time she closed her eyes, the scene of Zacharias forcefully kissing her on the table would appear in her mind.
It felt like his tongue, with the scent of alcohol, was still exploring her mouth. The feeling of being forcefully held in his arms made her suddenly feel thirsty.
Ten minutes later, Shirley re-emerged from under her covers speechlessly and opened her eyes while looking at the light on the ceiling. She didn’t know how to forget that kiss just now.
She replayed it over and over in her mind. It felt like Zacharias had kissed her repeatedly. This feeling was truly annoying, and she didn’t know what to do.
If it weren’t raining outside, she could go for a run on the mountain. After enduring for half an hour, she was really thirsty.
She wanted to go downstairs for some water.
She gently pushed open the door and found that Zacharias was actually sleeping on the couch. He was covered with his trench coat as he lay on the couch.
This was the mountains, and the temperature in the room was below 50 degrees. Wasn’t this man afraid of catching a cold or getting sick?
Upon thinking of his noble identity and her being his personal assistant, it would be inappropriate if she didn’t take care of him. Shirley walked over. She wanted to wake him up and ask him to go back to his room to sleep.
“Mr. Flintstone,” Shirley called him softly. Zacharias didn’t wake up, so she had to take action. She reached out and patted his shoulder. “Mr. Flintstone, wake up. Go back to your room and sleep!”
He only opened his eyes then. His dark pupils were covered with a glow as though the galaxy suddenly descended into his eyes. They were very charming.
Shirley looked at him and said, “It’s cold in the living room. Go back to your room and sleep.”
Zacharias sat up, but as soon as he stood up, he sat back down. “My legs are numb,” he said while looking up. “Help me up.”
Shirley didn’t suspect anything because the couch was a bit cramped for his six-foot-two- inch frame. She reached out to support his arm and escorted him to his master bedroom. Zacharias started getting some ideas and smiled.
When they reached the bedside, she helped him sit down. However, in the next second, everything flipped and overturned. She was pulled and pressed down directly onto his bed and his sturdy body pressed tightly against hers.
“You…” Shirley realized that she had been fooled again and her pretty face turned red.
“No kissing-” Before she could even finish warning him, the man had already pried open her red lips and sealed them tightly with his.
“Umm…” Shirley’s mind exploded. She had been repeatedly thinking about the kiss downstairs and now she was once again feeling the powerful sexual tension from this man. He was absolutely despicable.
Zacharias also found that he, who had always been calm and self-controlled, had lost control twice for this woman.
At first, he kissed her with a hint of exploration, but it quickly turned intense. He couldn’t get enough of her. Shirley’s mind had never been so blank and her reactions were extremely slow. After being kissed by this man for almost a minute, she finally realized that he was taking advantage of her.
She pushed him with her hands. Although she was rather strong, her pushing against his solid chest didn’t even make him budge, as if he had taken away all the strength from her body.
“Zac… Zacharias!” She called his name in a warning tone amidst the entanglement of lips and teeth.
Zacharias finally let her go. Their two faces were close under the dim light. Their breaths entwined and their eyes were locked together. His proud and straight nose almost touched her nose.
Shirley’s chest rose and fell; her breath was chaotic. She was gazing at him with eyes that were like fiery roses as if accusing him of his behavior.
“Let go of me.” She warned in a tone laced with anger. Zacharias’ gaze was deep and gentle, like an ocean enveloping a person. Shirley turned her face away before pushing him aside. This time, he cooperatively lay on the bed while watching the girl tidy her pajamas. He said hoarsely, “I’m sorry.”
She bit her red lips and turned to look at the man, who was like a lion, on the bed. “If you lack women, ask your subordinates to find them for you. Don’t set your sights on me.”
After saying this, Shirley pushed the door open and closed the man’s door on her way out. She returned to her room while regretful and lay on the bed, burying her hot face in her hands.
