Chapter 195
Lila's first lesson in kissing came from Alexander.
Her first kiss was with him, and later, her second and third times were with him too.
This kiss right now felt like what she had imagined kissing a man would be like, back before she had any experience with it.
His kiss made her heart race inexplicably. Not knowing if it was panic or something else, she instinctively closed her eyes, but her brows furrowed, from nervousness and uncertainty.
Gradually, Lila sensed that Alexander was losing control.
His breathing grew heavier, and his body was slowly changing too.
When Lila realized that Alexander, who was holding her, was starting to feel different, her mind went blank with a buzz. Instinctively, she turned her head away, wanting to end the kiss, jump down from him, and put some distance between them.
But Alexander remained lost in the moment.
The instant she turned her head, his burning kiss landed on her cheek instead.
Alexander opened his eyes halfway and caught sight of her flustered, helpless expression. A soft laugh escaped from between his lips and teeth, and this turn of events didn't dampen his mood in the slightest.
Alexander continued kissing her cheek, and as his lips wandered to her ear, his low, seductive voice followed, "Mrs. Sinclair, now do you believe I'm truly interested in you, hmm?"
His sexy voice carried an unprecedented fatal temptation, assaulting Lila's senses and breaking down her rational defenses.
She was so nervous she didn't know what to do with herself, stammering, "You... put me down."
"Haven't held you long enough yet."
"But..."
Lila was kissed by Alexander again.
This time, his kiss was much more urgent, and his arms around her tightened even more.
As their breaths mingled, she even felt that Alexander might actually like her a little bit.
At least, he desired her looks and figure.
Otherwise, why would someone usually so cold kiss her so tenderly?
At some point, Lila's hands, which had been around Alexander's neck, were now tightly clutching the shirt on his back, her palms sweating.
She received his kisses, her heart pounding wildly, completely losing the rationality and clarity she'd had when confronting him earlier.
Alexander savored her soft sweetness, finding it unexpectedly addictive, wanting more and more.
But afraid of scaring her, he tried hard to restrain himself, until his grip on her shoulder gradually tightened under extreme control, hurting her.
Lila felt like her shoulder was about to be crushed, and in pain, she couldn't help but make a sound.
Only then did he let her go.
The air heated up, thick with tension. After the sudden interruption, their eyes met with a subtle new dynamic.
Lila's hands were still clutching his clothes tightly.
Alexander's lips curved. "Mrs. Sinclair, are you trying to undress me? Or strangle me?"
At his words, her hands immediately let go.
He rolled his Adam's apple and spoke in a low, husky voice, "I never realized before that Mrs. Sinclair would be so addictive to kiss. Looks like some things. You can't really appreciate them without going deeper. Want to take it further?"
Alexander's voice was extremely tempting.
Lila tried to control her racing heart and shook her head blankly. "No."
Rejected, Alexander didn't get angry. Instead, he asked patiently, "Why not?"
"I'm scared."
"I won't be rough or violent, hmm?"
Lila carefully glanced at his expression and noticed that the way Alexander was looking at her right now was very different.
