Chapter 18
Hayden didn’t say a word, but inside, he was already seething with jealousy
He had liked me for so long, yet he was still seven years too late compared to that bastard Brynn in winning my heart.
“Wife, your face is red,” Hayden suddenly said in a low voice.
Instinctively, I tried to pull my hand away, but he gripped it tighter
“What? There was no reaction when Brynn messaged you, but the moment I touch you, you blush like this?”
I looked up at him. His lips curled into a faint smile, but the jealousy burning in his eyes was impossible to miss.
“Hayden…” I murmured helplessly.
This was exactly why I always felt guilty, Hayden was far too easily consumed by jealousy.
He leaned in closer, his voice brushing past my ear like a whisper in the wind. “I really want our wedding to come soon.“}}
I blinked. “It’s already happening pretty soon.”
“But it’s not soon enough”
He lowered his head and rested his forehead on my shoulder like an oversized, sulking dog, murmuring softly, “I want everyone to know you’re mine.”
I suddenly recalled what he’d said a few days ago: he wanted a wedding.
I hadn’t really planned on having one. After all, this was a business marriage.
But he’d said that even when we played house as kids, he gave me a wedding, so how could he not give me one now that we were grown up?%
He had spent a hundred million on the wedding, saying he wanted the whole world to know we were together.”
I didn’t know how to handle Hayden’s burning affection.”
Just then, my phone lit up again; it was another message from my assistant about Brynn.
Hayden’s expression darkened instantly.
He stared at the screen for a beat, then looked straight at me.
The next second, without a word, he kissed me.
His kiss was fierce and sudden, forcing me to lean back until my head pressed against the sofa.
1 froze for a moment, but instead of resisting, I closed my eyes and tilted my head up to meet him.”
It was as if that small response gave him permission; Hayden’s entire energy shifted in an instant.”
He grabbed my wrists and lifted them above my head, pinning them firmly against the back of the sofa.”
His lips and tongue swept over me like a firestorm, igniting every nerve.
“You…” I opened my eyes, breathless and dazed. “You really never dated anyone before?”
He let out a low laugh and pressed his forehead to mine. “Never dated, but I’ve thought about you every day, even dreamed of kissing you‘
I was too flustered to speak. The next moment, he scooped me into his arms and carried me toward the bedroom.
He gently laid me on the bed and looked down at me, his gaze burning with intensity and possessiveness, like a storm held back only by sheer will.?
I instinctively clutched the hem of his shirt. “Hayden, you…”
“Don’t worry,” he leaned down, his breath warm against my ear. “It’s my first time, but I learn fast.“%
As he spoke, his lips moved slowly down, brushing from my collarbone to my shoulder, then to my wrist, unbroken, unhurried. That kind of focus, that quiet hunger, made any thought of escape slip away.
At first, he fumbled slightly, his rhythm uncertain, too eager, almost laughable. But that clumsy start didn’t last long. But he quickly found. his pace, like he was born knowing how to punish and pleasure.
The air grew heavy with heat. The only sounds left were shallow breaths and the rustle of sheets tangled with desire.!!
I bit my lip again and again but still couldn’t stop the soft gasps that slipped out with every deep, lingering kiss.”
Hayden was like a wild creature that had been restrained for far too long. Now that he’d finally tasted his prey, he refused to let go, again and again, relentless, determined to leave no part of me untouched
By the time night had fully fallen, I lay curled in his arms, too weak to even lift a hand.
“Hayden
“Hmm? He still wasn’t satisfied. His tips brushed lightly against my flushed forehead.
“You’re not allowed to get jealous anymore.“%
“Then you’re not allowed to care about that person anymore “2
1 didn’t answer, I just buried myself deeper in his arms, my heart thudding like it might bursts
