He then reached out and gently held Nicole’s chin, forcing her to look at him.


    “Why else would I be so captivated by you?”


    Nicole resisted, her toneced with annoyance.


    “Hey… Let go…”


    Before she could say more, Jarrod’s lips pressed against hers.


    “Mm…” Nicole pushed back with all her strength, but her resistance only intensified his ki*ses.


    Jarrod’s dominance was clear, and with a swift motion, he began to unbutton her blouse, his hand exploring her skin.


    Her skin was soft and tender.


    Fury ignited in Nicole’s eyes, and she bit down on his lip, her voice barely audible as she hissed, “Bastard…” With a driver present, Jarrod’s disregard for propriety was stark.


    Was he truly prepared to pursue this here, in in view?


    Jarrod had a tendency to exert control, particrly when it came to rtionships.


    He did not handle defiance well.


    If he chose to be gentle, it was on his terms, but otherwise,pliance was expected.N?velDrama.Org is the owner.

    And this time was no exception.


    Even the taste of his own blood from Nicole’s bite did not slow him down.


    He calmly removed his tie and used it to bind her hands behind her.


    With a raised eyebrow and a hint of challenge, he dered, “You’ve had your moment, and now it’s my turn.


    ”


    The stakes were high, as the Schultz Group faced potential losses in the billions due to the unfolding scandal, a hefty price by any measure.


    Jarrod’s hand gently stroked her skin as he leaned in close.


    “Isn’t that right, darling?”


    He uttered the word “darling” with such warmth, one might assume they shared a deep, passionate bond.


    In truth, Nicole felt anything but affectionate.


    She fantasized about ending him.


    “Jarrod, don’t delude yourself into thinking you


    can do whatever you want.


    I agreed to marry you, but that doesn’t include giving in to every demand,” she retorted.


    Jarrod’s eyeszily scanned her, taking in her disheveled appearance with apparent approval.


    “Didn’t we already cross that linest time?”


    “That was different.


    You know I had a reason toply then!” Nicole shot back with anger ring in her eyes.


    She had relented previously because she needed to manage a situation with Vicki withoutplications.


    Her resistance hadn’t been full-hearted.


    Now, the reality hit her.


    Jarrod had orchestrated these events meticulously.


    He had been aware of her possession of the original video and her intentions, yet he had kept silent.


    Was his ultimate goal merely to manipte her into his bed?


    Upon hearing Nicole’s words, Jarrod’s lips twisted into a frigid grin.


    “You’re my wife.


    Must I employ any special tactics to be with you?”


    His hand descended, exploring every vulnerable spot.


    Their bodies had once moved in perfect harmony, and despite the passage of years, their recent reunion had rekindled their fervor.


    Jarrod knew Nicole form as intimately as his own.


    He understood precisely what would make her shudder and where she was most responsive.


    Nicole’s face flushed with fury as she red at him.


    “Hey… You jerk, release me…”


    Jarrod leaned in closer, his warm breath caressing her smooth, delicate neck.


    “Are you feeling ufortable?”


    He pressed his lips and tongue to her neck, his hands embarking on an unyielding quest.
