But when Lily met James's dark, smoldering gaze, she couldn't help thinking his reaction was a little over the
top.
Her face burned under the weight of his stare. Flustered, she tried to divert his attention.
“James, how did you manage to find Winston and Jennie so quickly, and convince them to testify against Elsa?”
“I had people keeping tabs on Elsa,” he answered curtly. “As for Winston and Jennie-everyone has weaknesses.
You just need to know where to press.”
Lily nodded knowingly, then pressed on, still trying to keep him from staring holes through her. “So Marilyn really
was involved in this? She and Elsa...”
But James had already used every ounce of self-control just to answer her first question.
Now, with desire surging and reason collapsing, he couldn’t even hear her words anymore.
Follow on NovᴇlEnglish.nᴇtAll he could see was her-every line of her body luring him closer, pulling him under.
“James? Why are you looking atlike that? Do | have something on me? You-mmph—"
Before she could finish, he had swept her into his arms, one hand clamped around her slender waist, the other
sliding across her back, melting her resistance until she was soft as water.
She had wanted to ask more questions, to get him to be serious.
But the moment she opened her lips, his mouth was already on hers, burning her like fire.
“Lily, we agreed in the car. That kiss didn’t count. You oweanother when we got
back.”
His kisses rained down, fierce and unrelenting.
It was like drowning in a vast ocean, her lungs filling with heat, his hoarse, desire-laden voice the only thing that
reached her ears.
She wanted to cry.
When had she ever agreed to that? She was exhausted, all she wanted was sleep.
But she knew him-if she didn’t kiss him, he wouldn't let her rest.

And truthfully... she did like his kisses, liked the way he tangled her up in him. So she yielded, kissing him back.
She thought her response would satisfy him, calm him, let them sleep.
But the moment she kissed back, he only deepened it, his hand supporting her waist, worshiping every inch of
her, as if he meant to consher whole.
James always woke early.
At first light, his eyes opened—and he realized something soft was draped across him.
He looked down and saw Lily, curled against him like a kitten. She held him tightly, face nestled into his chest,
one leg hooked loosely around his waist.
Her nightdress had ridden up in her restless sleep, baring smooth, pale legs pressed close against him.
The contrast of deep wine-red silk and luminous white skin made his breath quicken, his body strain with heat.
Panic flickered through him. He turned his face sharply aside, refusing to look.
He was going to be a father soon-twins, no less. His heart thrilled at the thought.
But her pregnancy was also a torment. He could look, he could kiss, he could taste-but he couldn't go further.
The heat in his body grew unbearable. His presence pressed too heavily against her, and Lily stirred awake.
She blinked groggily, noticing his face turned away, feigning peaceful sleep.
When she shifted, she felt it-his state.
Her cheeks flamed red, hot as ripe fruit.
He actually...
The leg draped over him felt scorched, and she tried to pull it back.
But then she remembered last night-how he’d kissed her breathless, refusing to stop, his hands roaming with
reckless greed.
