Chapter 209
Audrey suddenly lost the pull of gravity.
Ryan lifted and settled her onto his lap, pushing her closer to himself. Their lips didn’t leave each other for even a second.
Something began to bulge against her butt. Feeling uneasy, she held his shoulders so that she could support herself instead of saddling on his lap.
She dodged his lips.
Her cheeks were flushed red and she couldn’t calm down her heart.
Avoiding his gaze, she cleared her throat. “I–I still have work.”
He didn’t respond to that. His adam’s apple rolled and he tucked her hair strands behind her burning ears.
He planted a kiss over her ear, an attempt to break through her resistance.
In fact, no one knew how uneasy Ryan was.
Something in him believed that Audrey would choose to divorce in the end.
If that was the case, he wouldn’t want to miss any opportunity to quench his desire now.
That was why he didn’t give a fig about anything else other than plastering himself to
her.
“Ryan…” Her fingers curled as they clung onto his shirt.
Her eyes were pooling with tears, and her choking voice tickled his chest. “I’m kinda scared of you.”
“Why?” His throat felt rough, as if they were sandpaper.
With her heart sprinting, she tried to ignore the embarrassment. “You’re too fierce. I think… I’ll die tonight.”
That was enough to make the walls of his rationality crumble.
Again, he kissed her deeply and hugged her tightly.
“I’ll be very gentle,” he murmured against her lips.
Chapter 209
Hands lifting her butt, he cradled her to the bedroom without stopping the storm of
kisses.
The door slammed shut and there began another sleepless night for the couple,
Audrey woke up at noon the next day again.
Ryan wanted to sleep with her in his arms, but there were far too many things to settle because he was going to leave Lambert Corporation after the birthday party.
Last night, she did experience a gentle ministration from him for the first time.
However, the gentleness was way too grinding and became a torture for her.
She touched her hurting lips and got up from bed.
Noticing a memo from Ryan atop the bedside table, she reached out to take it.
‘I might be back late today. Remember to have your meals and don’t stay up late tonight.”
Audrey fetched her phone to check the messages from Shawn..
According to Shawn, Nathan had promised to purchase all the formulas. He was hoping to pay a lesser compensation by mitigating the leakage of information.
She locked her phone screen and put on a robe, standing still for a moment to get used to her wobbly legs.
Following that, she headed to the open kitchen to drink water.
She leaned against the counter while texting Jessica, informing her to change all the apparatuses every time an experiment was done.
