Chapter 5
Before Yvonne could finish speaking, a fierce gleam flashed in Reid’s eyes. Like a wild animal finally breaking free from its cage, he couldn’t hold back any longer. He lowered his head, his face set with a reckless determination, and kissed Yvonne hard.
The sudden kiss left Yvonne’s mind completely blank. Her first instinct was to pull away, but Reid’s grip was like a vise, holding her tightly and leaving her unable to move.
His kiss was passionate and forceful, carrying an intensity that was impossible to resist. He parted her lips, exploring her mouth with a burning hunger.
Yvonne could feel his eagerness and longing–an emotion that had been bottled up for far too long. Gradually, her body went limp in his arms, and a strange, thrilling sensation spread through her.
It was a new kind of desire, one that made her heart race and her mind spin. Without realizing it, she began to kiss him back.”
Reid shivered, wrapping his arm firmly around her waist, as if trying to merge with her. Half–carrying Yvonne, he strode toward the bedroom. The
bedroom curtains were drawn tight, letting in just a sliver of moonlight. Reid kicked open the door with a dull thud.
He carried Yvonne to the bed and gently laid her on the soft mattress. Her hair spread out like a ribbon of silk on the white sheets, making her look incredibly inviting.
Reid leaned over her, his eyes filled with intense desire. His breathing was quick and heavy, warm against Yvonne’s face.
The room seemed to grow warmer, with a romantic vibe filling every corner. Moonlight peeked through the curtain gaps, highlighting their entwined figures in a charming and fascinating scene.
Yvonne woke early with Reid’s arm around her waist and his gentle breaths against her neck. The warmth stirred mixed emotions in her heart. He had finally settled down at dawn and was now sleeping deeply, a slight smile on his lips.
Reid was undeniably handsome, with features finely sculpted like a statue–deep eyes, a high nose, and slightly pursed lips that exuded an irresistible charm. The Simmons family was one of the top–tier families in Avaloria. Approaching thirty, Reid had never been involved in any
scandals.
Before Yvonne met him, people around Steven had mentioned that Reid might be gay. Last night, she had personally confirmed that Reid was not only straight but also very much the opposite.
As she thought about it, a slight blush appeared on her cheeks. She gently got up, moving carefully to avoid waking the man behind her.
She bent down to pick up the clothes scattered all over the floor, pausing when she saw the black stockings from last night. They were torn into pieces, reminding her of his wild actions.
She threw the stockings in the trash and quietly slipped out, carrying her clothes.
When Yvonne got home, Steven hadn’t returned yet. After she took a shower, Iona, who had just woken up, was sitting in the living room drinking water. As soon as she saw Yvonne, she said, “What time is it? Why haven’t you made breakfast yet?”
Without a word, Yvonne went into the kitchen to make cereal, but only enough for herself.
When she came out with the cereal, Iona asked, “Where’s Steven? Still in bed?”
“He left last night,” Yvonne said simply.
Iona paused, clicked her tongue, and looked Yvonne up and down with disdain. “Can’t even handle your own man. Worthless.”
lona looked at the cereal in her hand and snorted, “No wonder he doesn’t want to eat this plain stuff. I’m not eating it either; it doesn’t look appetizing at all.”
With that, she got up and called a friend she hadn’t known for long. “Let’s gather for a game night. I won 3 thousand yesterday. Let’s keep it going today. Nobody’s allowed to ditch.”
Yvonne sat at the dining table, lowered her head, and took a spoonful of cereal. The taste was mild, not very filling.
