Her breathing steadied slightly. Then, Angeline said, "I'll consider it carefully and give you an answer at Mr. Lawson Senior's birthday banquet."

Sean's gaze was predatory as he looked at Angeline. He cradled the back of her head and initiated another kiss. Her head tilted back, causing her scalp to tingle. Yet, uncontrollably, her hands wrapped around his neck. She reciprocated his advances.

Suddenly, she found herself lifted off the ground. They didn't stop kissing. Sean held Angeline in his arms and allowed her to straddle him. He pressed her waist firmly against himself.

As Angeline noticed a subtle change in Sean, she clung to his shoulders. Her legs felt too weak to sit properly on his. She dodged his passionate kisses.

Her face turned thoroughly red while her heart raced uncontrollably. She avoided Sean's gaze.

Clearing her throat, she said, "I... I still have work to do.”

Sean didn't reply. His Adam's apple bobbed slightly. He lifted his hand, then gathered her disheveled hair and tucked it behind her ear. The ear was red as if it would bleed. He kissed her ear as he tried to break through Angeline's resistance to his actions.

No one knew Sean was feeling uneasy deep down. He harbored a conviction, thinking that Angeline would ultimately choose to divorce him. If that were the case, he didn't want to miss any moment. He desired to fulfill his longing for Angeline now. Thus, he wanted nothing more than to be entwined with her until the end.

"Sean..." Angeline's fingers tightened on Sean's shirt. Her eyelashes were wet as her voice carried a sob. It was like the gentle scratch of a kitten's paw on one's heart.

"What are you afraid of?" Sean asked with a hoarse voice. Angeline's heart raced. She spoke through a strong sense of shame. "You're too aggressive. I fear... I might not survive tonight.”

Her words dismantled all of Sean's defenses. He kissed Angeline deeply once more. He held her tight in his arms. "I'll be gentle," he whispered against her lips.

With that, Sean carried Angeline toward the bedroom as they continued to kiss. The sound of the bedroom door closing heavily marked another sleepless night for Angeline and Sean.

She touched her sore lips. Then she stood up and noticed a note left by Sean by the bed. "I might return late tonight. Remember to eat and rest early.”
