Chapter 71
She had to escape this place immediately.
She needed to get away from Liam Sullivan, this dangerous man.
After ensuring her own safety, she would find a way to get some clothes and go to the company.
"Stay put right there!"
Liam Sullivan pulled her back onto the bed with force.
His tone was commanding and brooked no argument.
Vivian Bennett trembled with fear at his actions.
She quickly shrank toward the inner side of the bed.
She was truly afraid this man would get angry again.
She feared he would do whatever he wanted to her, just like before.
She bit her lip tightly and decided to remain silent.
Being late was better than being bullied by him again.
Liam Sullivan's deep gaze lingered on her for a moment.
He suddenly walked to the landline and pressed the intercom.
"Bring a set of women's clothing immediately."
"Yes, Boss."
After hanging up, he strode toward the bathroom.
He urgently needed a cold shower.
It was the only way to douse the flames raging inside him.
Vivian Bennett curled up on the bed, not daring to move a muscle.
Her fingertips, clutching the sheet, turned pale.
They betrayed the tension and unease in her heart.
Before long, Liam Sullivan emerged from the bathroom.
He wore only a white towel around his waist.
His wet black hair dripped with water droplets.
The droplets traced the sharp angles of his handsome face.
They slid over his firm pectoral muscles and defined abs.
Vivian Bennett's breath hitched.
The sight was overwhelmingly intense.
She hurriedly tried to look away.
But her eyes met Liam Sullivan's deep, intense gaze.
The moment their eyes locked, her heart raced uncontrollably.
"You... should put some clothes on? You'll catch a cold!" She licked her dry lips and whispered a reminder.
Liam Sullivan did not go to get dressed.
Instead, he stepped closer to her, one step at a time.
The look in his eyes was dark and heavy.
It resembled a bottomless, icy abyss.
Before Vivian Bennett could react, he pinned her to the bed again.
His tall frame loomed over her.
His handsome face was mere inches from hers.
Their lips were almost touching.
"Trying to seduce me again?"
Liam Sullivan's voice was low and husky.
The flames he had struggled to suppress in the bathroom roared back to life the instant he saw her.
This woman was truly his kryptonite.
Her seemingly innocent actions always easily stirred his desires.
"I did not!" Vivian Bennett's eyes widened as she defended herself innocently.
Liam Sullivan's scorching gaze locked onto her.
His long fingers caressed her delicate cheek.
"If not, then don't look at me with those eyes. I can't control myself, understand?"
His hot breath fanned across her skin, making her heart almost stop.
Vivian Bennett nodded in a fluster.
"I... I understand..."
She quickly averted her gaze, not daring to look at him any longer.
But Liam Sullivan didn't seem intent on letting her off that easily.
He began to gently rub against her.
"Mr. Sullivan?"
Vivian Bennett immediately tensed up and called out nervously.
"Don't speak. Hold me tight!"
Liam Sullivan suddenly commanded in a hoarse voice.
Vivian Bennett's heart quivered.
She closed her eyes and tremblingly wrapped her arms around him.
Her fingertips touched his burning skin, surprising her.
Hadn't he just taken a cold shower?
Why was his body still so hot?
While she was lost in thought, Liam Sullivan suddenly pulled away the blanket wrapped around her.
He pulled her naked body tightly into his embrace.
Vivian Bennett's eyes widened in shock.
She couldn't believe he would do this.
"You..."
