Chapter 285
Her forehead collided sharply with the man's hard, solid chest.
Intense pain shot through her.
Tears instantly welled up in Vivian Bennett's eyes.
The excruciating, almost bone-breaking sensation was indescribable.
As the pain subsided slightly, she looked up angrily.
Liam Sullivan's cold, stern face came into view.
His narrow eyes were dark and deep, radiating danger.
Vivian's breath hitched.
"What are you doing..."
Before she could finish, Liam suddenly flipped them over.
She was instantly pinned beneath him.
He looked down at her, his face mere inches away.
His scorching breath felt like molten lava.
Vivian remembered last night's intimacy.
An inexplicable panic and palpitation swept through her.
She pressed her hands against his chest, trying to push him away.
Their strength disparity was like an ant trying to move a tree.
Liam's deep eyes locked onto hers.
Emotions she couldn't decipher churned within them.
Their gazes intertwined, breaths mingling.
The air seemed to flow slowly, almost frozen.
Vivian's long eyelashes fluttered slightly before she averted her eyes first.
Just as she was about to speak, his long fingers gripped her chin firmly.
He forced her to meet his gaze.
"Vivian Bennett, why did you come into my dream?"
Liam's voice was unusually hoarse and deep.
It seemed to suppress some intense emotion.
He stared at her with bloodshot eyes.
"The last person I want to see right now is you..."
He had been her antidote all night, yet she threw herself into someone else's arms.
No matter how hard he tried, he couldn't reach her heart.
The last person he wanted to see right now was her!
Vivian's body trembled violently.
She bit her lip hard, embarrassment flashing in her eyes.
Staring into his dark, profound eyes, she became furious from humiliation.
"If you don't want to see me, why did you help me? Why are you pinning me down?"
Liam's handsome face moved closer.
His thin lips were now just a paper's width away from hers.
The slightest movement would make them touch.
He was burning with fever, his breath scorching like fire.
It felt as if he wanted to consume her completely.
The look in his eyes was so dark it seemed to seep ink.
"Because I want to torment you mercilessly."
Vivian's eyes reddened rapidly.
His words felt like an invisible hand squeezing her heart.
"Liam Sullivan, what have I done to offend you?"
She couldn't help but demand.
Liam let out a cold laugh and suddenly lifted her chin.
He kissed her fiercely.
Or rather, it wasn't a kiss but a bite.
Full of punitive anger, domineering and savage.
Liam thought he was in a feverish dream.
He poured all his frustration over her betrayal and distance into this kiss.
He wanted to return every bit of pain she had given him.
His actions unconsciously turned violent.
This woman always drove him insane with ease.
Her embrace with Zachary Hudson this morning had completely shattered his rationality.
He had been suppressing his emotions in the car.
Since she had barged into his dream, he wouldn't hold back...
The beast-like plundering made Vivian ache unbearably.
The taste of blood spread between her lips.
She pushed and hit him with all her strength.
But he remained unmoved like a mountain.
If only she had known that being alone with him at night was so dangerous...
"Liam Sullivan..."
She barely found a chance to speak before his lips sealed hers again.
His large hand cupped the back of her head, as if afraid she would disappear.
Vivian struggled to breathe.
Liam's scorching body temperature transferred to her.
Blood rushed to her head, staining her cheeks, ears, and neck crimson.
After a moment, he moved from her lips to nibble her small earlobe.
Every nerve in Vivian's brain exploded, her rationality completely gone.
Only blankness remained.
"Liam Sullivan, what exactly do you want?"
Knowing she couldn't push him away, she stopped struggling.
Even a sense of resignation began to surface.
