    Chapter 555 Won’t Affect Me Kissing You


    ric’s searing breath fanned across her face, and before Victoria could react, she felt his lips on top


    of hers.


    “Mmph.”


    The sudden kiss caused her to freeze in ce, not expecting him to pounce on her in the office. The


    sensation. on her lips was both warm and soft, and ric’s scent mingled with her breath and


    prated her senses.


    Soon, Victoria recovered from her bewilderment and began to press her hands against his chest,


    pushing him. away from her. “Mmph… No… We’re at the office…..”


    If anyone walked in on them, she would never be able to recover from the embarrassment. Hence,


    Victoria leaned backward as she spoke, trying to avoid his kiss.


    After she dodged him twice, the man before her stopped in displeasure before he immediately reached


    out to hold the back of her neck, his low and hoarse voice thick with unsatisfied lust.


    “What are you hiding for?”


    As Victoria nced at him, she was immediately taken aback by his deep stare. Ever since reuniting


    with ric, she had never seen such a look on him–his eyes were so dark it was as if they contained


    an endless void inside, maic and tempting, as if she would be swallowed whole at any moment.


    As she recalled their fervent kiss and met his dark gaze, her fair skin uncontrobly flushed crimson.


    She even reflexively turned her face away to avoid his eyes as she stammered, “W–What if someone


    in…”


    ric replied hoarsely, “Nobody wille in.”


    Victoria was momentarily rendered speechless. “How do you know that?”


    “Besides Mr. Poole, who would dare to enter your office without permission? Besides, even Mr. Poole


    has to knock beforeing in, right?”


    “R–Really?” As Victoria had notpletely recovered her memory, she was unaware of this fact.


    “Yeah.”


    Unexpectedly, ric answered her question firmly. Although thispany did not belong to him, he


    replied as if he were the owner of thepany instead of her.


    This belongs to N?velDrama.Org.


    Once he replied to her, ric tightened his grip on the back of her neck and began to lower his body to


    kiss her


    again. However, Victoria reflexively dodged aside as he approached, causing him to miss her lips once


    more.


    Even though she had not expected their first kiss, it allowed him to get a taste of the sweetness he had


    long desired, and it was much more delightful than he had imagined. In the end, what was supposed to


    be a brief taste ended in him being unwilling to let go. And yet, before he could fully savor her, she


    denied his touch.


    When he hadn’t received his desired kiss even after exining things to her, ric was filled with


    dissatisfaction and stared at her intently, his hand subconsciously tightening behind her neck.


    However, although he was possessive, he did not apply enough force to hurt her.


    “Why are you hiding again?”


    Victoria’s ears flushed red at the sound of his voice that hadpletely gone hoarse. “I…”


    Upon noticing her ears that had turnedpletely crimson, ric felt his displeasure dissipating


    somewhat, and a smile appeared on the corners of his lips as he teasingly pinched the tips of her ears.


    “Why are you so shy? Are you too embarrassed to let me kiss you, or are you afraid that someone will


    walk in?”


    While it was true that Victoria was embarrassed, she was more worried that someone would walk in. If


    someone saw them in their current situation, she wouldpletely lose her authority as their superior.


    A long pauseter, she finally said, “We shouldn’t kiss here, let’s wait-”


    “No.”


    At first, Victoria was about to tell him to wait until they got home when she was interrupted by ric


    before


    she could finish. “I don’t want to wait.”


    As soon as his words fell, Victoria felt a force lifting off the back of her neck. Then, she watched as


    ric turned


    around and headed toward the door.


    Seeing that, she assumed that he was angered by her rejection. His warmth still lingered on the parts


    of her body that he had touched, and now she only felt empty.


    Where is he going?


    Just as Victoria was pondering over this question, ric had already arrived at the entrance and raised


    a hand, locking the door. Seeing this, Victoria, who had thought that he was about to leave in a fit of


    anger, was


    rendered silent.


    She stood frozen in ce, watching as he headed back toward her after locking the door, a hint of


    ferocity in his eyes. More urately, it was the sheer darkness in his eyes that made him seem so


    ferocious. Now, Victoria was like prey that was at the mercy of a wolf, and this wolf was a fierce and


    charismatic one.


    When she recalled how she had stopped him from doing anything with her due to his injuries, Victoria


    was immediately filled with a strong sense of danger. Sensing that she was most likely unable to


    escape, she reflexively circled around the desk and stood at the other end before he walked over.


    At the same time, her movements caused ric to stop in his tracks. Then, he steadied himself and


    looked at her, both amused and exasperated. “What are you hiding for, Snowball? If you’re afraid that


    someone wille. in, that won’t happen. I’ve already locked the door.”


    What a joke. It is precisely because you locked the door that I’m even more afraid now. When the door


    was still unlocked, he might still hold himself back out of consideration that someone might walk in at


    any moment. But now that the door was locked and seeing how ravenous he was earlier, Victoria was


    genuinely worried that he might devour her whole if she submitted to him.


    Even so, she did not detest the motion; rather, she only felt that it was uneptable tomit such an


    act in a ce like this. What if she made an indescribable sound and was overheard by the people next


    door or a passerby? Either way, she had gone through every single possibility in her mind, and she


    firmly believed that she could not ept this.


    When she remained immobile, ric grew impatient from waiting–or perhaps, his yearning further


    intensified, begging to be let out. He propped his hands on the table, his intent gaze boring into her.


    “Snowball,e here.”


    Victoria only froze for a few seconds before she decisively refused, “No.”


    She knew all too well what would happen if she went to his side.


    Her actions amused ric, and he asked, “How long do you think you can hide from me?”


    As he said these words, he began to stroll toward hernguidly.


    With every step he took, Victoria took a step backward, saying, “Can’t you control yourself? Your


    wounds…”


    Before she could finish, ric said, “They’re healed.”


    “It’s only been a few days. How can they be healed?” Then, a thought urred to her and she added,


    “Besides you just promised me not to go to the office.”


    “Yeah, I promised you not to go to the office, but I never promised not to kiss you.”


    His voice was clear, and his steps began to quicken.


    “Even if my wounds aren’t healed yet, it won’t affect me kissing you, right?”


    His constant mention of kissing distracted Victoria, and before she could return to her senses, he soon


    caught up to her with his swift strides and swept her into his embrace.


    “Snowball…”


    ric’s breath was hot as he pulled her into his arms before lowering his head, desperately searching


    for her soft lips. His movements were urgent, as if he were a thirsty man who had just stumbled upon


    an oasis in a var
