Rena ran into the room like a gust of wind and closed the door behind her. She reached up to lock it before she placed a hand on her chest, sighing in relief.
After her breathing calmed a little, she looked up to see where she was and found a tall man standing before her. She jumped at the sight before she took in the fact that his hair was damp, and he was wearing nothing but a towel. A couple of water droplets fell from his hair and cascaded down his bare chest and abs.
Rena blushed instantly and looked down at her feet.
“I’m so sorry, I...” she trailed off.
The man took a few steps towards her and spoke.
“You crossed paths with me again,” he said.
His deep voice resonated within her, and Rena felt that it was familiar. When she raised her head, she saw that it was Leo Caswell who had spoken. His eyes were dim as his alluring lips curved into a wicked smile.
Mr. Caswell reached out and wrapped his arms around her, and Rena instinctively protected her chest with her arms. “What... do you want?” she asked tentatively.
He looked at her, and his eyes fell on Rena’s face. “Isn’t it obvious?” he asked, his voice low and unnerving.
Just before the man’s lips were about to touch hers, Rena made her escape. She tried to tickle his armpits, and the distraction caused him to loosen his hold. She bolted into the middle of the room, her eyes wide.
Leo was flabbergasted. He couldn’t remember the last time anyone tried to tickle him, much less a fully-grown adult. He couldn’t believe that Rena had resorted to such a childish tactic, and he was genuinely amused by it.
Rena’s beautiful eyes were sharp. If she could shoot fire with her eyes, Leo would have been barbecued by now.
The two of them reached a stalemate, and Leo reached down to adjust his towel so that it wouldn’t fall off.
She blinked and took a step back, and he paused.
“What’s the matter? Are you having bad thoughts?” Leo asked.
Rena gasped and shook her head. Her face burned when she realized that he wasn’t going to get naked like a pervert.
“You’re a married woman, and yet you can barely handle this,” he continued as he gestured to himself.
His voice was both evil and seductive, and just hearing his voice made Rena shiver.
Leo walked up to her and reached up to grab her chin. He made her look at the dark smile that was on his face.
“Mr. Caswell, I didn’t mean to intrude in your hotel room. I... I...” Rena stammered. She didn’t like this situation and wished she could go back in time.
“Really?” he questioned, his voice full of doubt. He released his grip on her chin.
Rena took her chance and started to head for the door. However, she didn’t get far before a strong arm encircled her waist and brought her back.
Leo held her against his naked chest, and she squirmed.
The more Rena tried to escape, the tighter she was held. Soon, she found it hard to breathe.
Shortly after that, Leo walked her over to a nearby sofa. He pushed her down on to it and pressed his body against her. Rena tried to push him away, but both her hands were quickly grabbed and held above her head. Before she got a chance to scream, her lips were sealed by his.
He kissed her roughly, and there was no room for Rena to breathe. As she continued to struggle, her mind went blank.
The passionate kiss continued along the corner of the mouth to her chin and moved down. When he began to kiss her neck, she stopped struggling.
Leo stopped and looked up at Rena and found that she was quietly crying. He immediately released her and moved away. Judging from her reaction, it was evident that she never had a boyfriend; otherwise, she wouldn’t be this upset.
The second time they met, she cried because he scared her, which made Leo felt sorry and guilty.
