He wanted her to belong to him completely.
Only to him. He didn’t care about marriage, children, responsibilities, or promises. Not now. Not in this moment. Right now, all he wanted was to be entangled with her, body and soul, lost in this dream forever. and never waking up.
Pushing past every limit, he took her breath again and again. His kiss trailed downward-swift, urgent like a devoted worshippe offering his prayers to her body.
His large, defined hands roamed with wild abandon, Underneath, she was wearing a cardigan sweater, the kind with a row of buttons down the front. His fingers clenched suddenly, and the sweater popped open, exposing smooth, glowing skin that gave off the faintest, intoxicating sweetness.
Gazing at that flawless, porcelain-white skin, the usual coldness in his eyes was replaced by unrestrained desire. His eyes burned with such passion that even the corners turned red-like fire catching on dry tinder, revealing a heart laid bare.
Just a glimpse of that beauty, and anyone would lose themselves entirely.
The corners of his eyes turned redder and redder. Then, all at once, he lowered his face and kissed her deep and fierce.
James had always had the kind of face that exuded icy restraint and ascetic detachment. He seemed carved from stone-untouchable, far removed, the sort who never looked down or broke composure without cause. When Lily first met him, he’d come across as distant, controlled, impossible to reach.
Like a locked door with no key-closed off, alluring in a way that only sharpened the distance.
But now, lost in this absurd dream, all that chill restraint and iron discipline had gone out the window.
He only wanted to lose himself in her; to entangle with the one he loved, to do as he pleased.
A moment ago, his kisses-trailing down from her lips-had still carried a trace of tenderness, of careful reverence.
But as her cardigan opened, revealing that most breathtaking snow-white beauty before him, his breathing quickened; his every movement turned wild and unrestrained.
It was as if he’d been starved and imprisoned for a thousand years-and now, faced with something that could finally sate his hunger, there was simply no controlling him.
As his kisses grew more aggressive, Lily completely lost her ability to fight him off. She leaned back instinctively, trying to put some space between them; and yet, a strange pleasure and craving surged through her body, pulling her closer against her will.
The heat scorched her skin, burning away her reason until she couldn’t help but let herself be swept along.
The cave had grown stuffy with the entrance sealed. Pushing aside a few stones, sitting near the fire with their clothes on-it had felt just right for a quiet winter night.
But now, as he tore her clothes away in a frenzy, the cold night wind blew into the cave, and Lily felt a chill crawl across her skin.
That sudden, sharp cold brought clarity back to her mind.
And with it came the realization of just how far things had gone-how crazy this was. They had almost crossed the final line.
“James, stop!”
Lily’s face went pale with fear.
He had told her himself-after the car accident, he’d become a vegetable and had lost his ability as a man.
She also knew the two of them couldn’t possibly cross that line for real. But more than anyone, she understood how much he hated physical contact with her.
His mind was a mess right now. If he woke up and saw the two of them tangled together like this, nearly exposed, he would probably be disgusted for the rest of his life.
She didn’t want to leave him with that kind of revulsion,
Right now, he didn’t seem capable of understanding a single word. Lily called out to him several times le row, but he showed no sign of stopping. His lips only grew hotter and more demanding, shattering her reason all over again.
And then-his hand…
Lily’s body jerked violently in shock.
Panicked, she summoned every ounce of strength she had and pinched his chest hard-digging her fingers right into his muscles.
“James, stop! You’ve really got the wrong person! I’m the Lily you hate the most-not whoever this Leila is you keep talking about!”
The sharp pain jolted something loose in James’ mind; a trace of clarity flickered in his eyes. The fever medicine had begun to kick in, and after Lily pinched him again, he slowly started to realize, this wasn’t a dream.
If it were a dream, it wouldn’t hurt.
That voice… it clearly wasn’t Leila’s.
Realization struck. His body went rigid, as if lightning had crashed through him. Nearly half a minute passed before he finally lowered his eyes, looking down at Lily.
Just like all those wild, absurd dreams from before, he had thought he was kissing and touching Leila; but now, the face staring back at him was Lily’s
He had mistaken Lily for Leila again, in the middle of his fevered madness. I’m not even human…
And then, his hand, he realized where it had been….
James yanked his hand back like he’d been burned, face pale as death as he quickly put distance between them. His eyes were full of roiling emotion; but in the end, all of it collapsed into a single, overwhelming expression of self-loathing
The self-disgust hit him so hard, he couldn’t even look at Lily.
He wanted to kill himself on the spot. Lily, get away from me. Don’t touch me.
But even through the haze he’d been in, he’d known-he had been the one who had her pinned down. He could tell-she had saved him tonight.
And yet he’d acted like a beast, Lost in the blur of dream and reality, he’d repaid her kindness with cruelty. doing unspeakable things to her.
What right did someone so disgusting, shameless, ungrateful, selfish, and filthy as he was have to say anything at all.
He could only retreat in a panic. Pressing himself against the cold stone wall, he squeezed his eyes shut in agony.
Even though he shut them fast, Lily had already seen it-that wave of self-late and revulsion surging in his eyes.
The pain and regret on his face were like a dagger stabbing into her chest-making her realize with startling clarity just how much he despised her.
She didn’t want to hear his cold rejection.
Scooping up the clothes from the floor as fast as she could, she rushed to say, “James, don’t get the wrong idea. I didn’t mean to take advantage of you.”
Seeing the exposed muscles of his chest, she quickly added, “I didn’t touch your clothes on purpose either.
You had a fever, and your clothes were soaked and freezing. I was afraid staying in them would make your condition worse. That’s the only reason I touched them.”
Lily didn’t want to hurt his pride as a man. But she also knew-what he feared most was being tangled up with her.
To put his mind at ease completely, she decided to strike where it hurt.
“I don’t have any inappropriate feelings for you either. I like normal men. You don’t have that ability, so I definitely won’t be clinging to you!”
James frowned; his temples nearly exploded. Not capabler What the heck was she talking about?
But then he remembered-he had told her that nonsense once, just to avoid unnecessary trouble.
For a pair of contract spouses without love and destined for divorce, this kind of misunderstanding worked just fine. He certainly had no intention of clearing it up.
He responded coolly, then thought it over and decided to offer her some form of compensation. Even though what had happened tonight wasn’t intentional, she was still a woman, and she’d suffered quite a bit. He couldn’t shamelessly pretend nothing had happened.
“Lily, after we finalize the divorce, I’ll give you a million as compensation. Of course, what I said before still stands-the villa, and a few sets of jewelry, all of it is still yours. I also own several buildings. After the divorce, I’ll transfer the one in the city center to you.”
A million? A building? An entire building! Not a condo, not a unit, but a whole damn building! Wasn’t that way too much? Lily’s eyes widened in shock.
Sure, he had acted a little wild just now-but to be honest, she hadn’t really lost anything.
With a body and face like his, trying to hire a male model like that at a club-even if she threw money around-would be nearly impossible. And truthfully, it hadn’t all been on him.
She had lost control and responded to him too.
And that self-loathing in his eyes just now-it hadn’t been fake.
It was obvious their physical contact had truly disgusted him.
That moment of skin against skin must’ve felt like torture for him.
There was no way she could shamelessly accept all those things front him.
“James, I didn’t mean to touch you like that tonight. I know you didn’t do it on purpose either. That half million you had transferred to me before… it’s already enough to last me most of my life. You really don’t need to compensate me anymore. Don’t worry, I didn’t feel a thing. I’ve already forgotten what happened, and you should too.”
Didn’t feel a thing. For some reason, James felt a strange tightness in his chest.
They hadn’t crossed the final line, that was true. But his body couldn’t have been completely unresponsive. Still, whatever. It didn’t matter
After losing Leila, there was no way intimacy again. He didn’t need it. he’d ever fall for anyone again-man or woman. There’d never be
??t didn’t matter.
“Aren’t you getting married soon?”
With a cold expression and a wave of chilly indifference, James added, “Consider all this a wedding gift from me.”
