Chapter 345


    ?


    The sudden kiss left Chloe''s mind utterly nk.


    Connor kissed her fiercely, with an assertiveness that left no room for resistance. It was an unexpected siege, aplete takeover of her senses. His skill in kissing was already top-notch, a perfect blend of dominance and tenderness that was almost too much to handle. In that moment, Chloe felt all her strength drain away.


    Her breath was stolen, her mind foggy fromck of oxygen, making it impossible to think. She could only let this man do as he pleased. This feeling was all too familiar, yet more intense than ever before. His hands traced the curve of her waist, moving up her back. The smooth skin under his fingertips, the delicate touch, continuously teased his senses, making him crave more, so much more...


    Just kissing her wasn''t enough anymore. His lips started trailing down her neck, spreading heat over her fair skin. Chloe found herself lifted by him in the water, her legs parting instinctively. Her feet left the pool floor, and the buoyancy made her wobbly. Almost automatically, her legs wrapped around his lean waist.


    In the next second, she was lifted higher, her back pressed once more against the cool stone. The chill from the stone jolted her back to reality. Oh God, what were they doing? She hadn''t pushed Connor away. Damn it! This man was like a siren, seducing women with ease. Chloe admitted it - she had indeed sumbed without a fight. But now, being lifted out of the water...


    The night breeze made her shiver, and the coldness of the stone against her back shocked her back to full awareness. Chloe began to struggle. "Connor, let me go!"


    But Connor didn''t release her. His lips were at her ear, his voice huskier than she had ever heard.


    "Wouldn''t that be too cruel?"


    His hands roamed her body without restraint. His voice was deep, burrowing into Chloe''s ears like a spell, "Baby, I can''t hold back anymore..."


    Meanwhile, one hand grasped Chloe''s wrist, pulling her back into the water. Chloe''s face turned crimson. She stared at Connor in disbelief. "Connor, you''re a pervert!"


    A look of mock hurt appeared on Connor''s face, as if he was pouting.


    "I''m in pain right now."


    Even Chloe, with her normally thickUpstodatee from Novel(D)ra/m/a.O(r)g


    skin, blushed like a lobster. She


    knew well that acting cute and innocent was Connor''s usual trick She wasn''t going to fall for it. With a push, she freed herself from Connor. Chloe turned to swim toward the shore. She must have lost her mind to have tangled with him for so long.


    But just as she turned around, she heard rustling footsteps from the shore.


    "Connor, are you here?"


    Chloe was terrified. But she reacted quickly. In their current state, they absolutely couldn''t be seen by anyone. Almost reflexively, she


    pulled Connor and dove into the


    water heading straight for the deeper area. Chloe dived about four or five meters before stopping. The voice from the shore still faintly reached Chloe''s ears.


    "Connor, Connor, are you there?"


    Juztin even called out loudly for Connor. Chloe didn''t know why


    Connor and Juztin would be here.

    But at that moment, she had only one thought: they couldn''t let Juztin find them. Fortunately, her dress was hidden in a concealed bush next to a rock.
