Her reddened eyes shot a re at Jarrod, and her voice was raspy as she questioned, “What do you want?”


    With a disdainful look, she warned, “Jarrod, if you dare to touch me, I swear I’ll kill you!”


    Her words dripped with venom, a testament to her deep-seated hatred.


    Jarrod’s hand slowly clenched into a fist, his gaze shifting from tense to inscrutable.


    “Kill me?”


    He suddenlyughed, lifting Nicole’s chin.


    “Dying by your hand doesn’t seem so bad.


    ”


    Despite his gentlemanly appearance, the ruthlessness in his speech revealed the wildness beneath his skin.


    His hand shifted from Nicole’s jawline down to her neck, his fingers hovering over her skin in a teasing manner.


    Despite herself, Nicole heard a small moan escape her mouth.


    At the moment, even the slightest of touches made her feel as if her entire body had turned to water.


    Jarrod’s Lips curled into a mocking smile.


    His firm fingers continued down her neck, tracing the outline of her corbone.


    “Are you going to take your clothes off, or should I do it for you?”


    When Nicole heard his shameless words, her eyes zed with fury.


    Her clenched hand quivered lightly, highlighting the stark contrast in strength between men and women, especially now when she felt weak and powerless.


    Jarrod’s deep gaze was filled with aggression.


    It was a look that Nicole knew all too well.


    It was a familiar nightmare that haunted her dreams.


    It was clear that he wanted her.


    “Aren’t you ufortable?” Taking Nicole’s silence as consent, Jarrod let his fingers wander down to her shirt, and began to undo the buttons.


    Wearing wet clothes for too long could cause one to catch a cold, a fact that Nicole was well aware of.


    But the thought of what would happen if she got undressed now was unimaginable…


    Biting down on her lip until the taste of blood spurred her into action, Nicole suddenly reached out to grab him, a desperate measure in the confined space of the car.


    However, her agility proved no match for the sober-minded Jarrod.


    Jarrod firmly caught her hand, his eyes darkening for a moment before he let out a coldugh.


    “What are you trying to do?”


    Nicole continued to struggle, but it was no use.This belongs to N?velDrama.Org: ?.


    With his strong grip, Jarrod directed her hand downward, between her legs.


    “Nicole…” Pressing his forehead against hers, Jarrod looked into her eyes, at the same time steering her hand without pause.


    When he spoke, his voice was low and strained, and his breath was heavy on her face.


    “I didn’t want to do this, but since you insist, I’ll oblige…”


    Unable to contain her anger, Nicole cried out, “Jarrod, I hate you!”


    She was like a dam that was ready to burst at any moment.


    With her hand still moving under his control, she cursed, “You’re not human.


    You’re a beast!”


    “I’ll take that as apliment,” Jarrod said casually, his lips curling up into a smirk.


    “After all, being humanes with too many constraints.


    I would rather live freely as a beast.
