The light and shadows danced on the two figures who were entangled. Laurenâs tiny frame trembled in his arms.
She did nothing at all, but her innocence was a deadly attraction for Landon, who had breached the first base.
Under the influence of the alcohol, he went all out. Lauren watched a flash across her eyes before feeling the weight of a man on her.
Her body sank deeper into the couch, turning her into an imprisoned bird.
Landon started breathing laboriously, but he continued kissing her aggressively and toying with her lips.
At that moment, the female singer on the stage sang in a low and sultry voice, âIâve been watchinâ you for some time Canât stop starinâ at those ocean eyes Burning cities and napalm skies Fifteen flares inside those ocean eyes Your ocean eyesâ¦â
auren was dizzy from all the kissing, and her eyes were glossy.
âMmph â¦â She struggled to breathe, then started twisting and turning underneath him.
His eyes were burning from a new wave of desire she had just triggered, like a famished beast.
Despite being drunk, he held on to his last inch of conscience, noting that Lauren was his best friendâs sister.
He not only had to refrain from touching Jasperâs wife but also had to keep his distance from Jasperâs sister.
Before he lost control, he reluctantly removed himself from Lauren. A strand of saliva lingered between their parted lips.
âYou⦠You⦠Laurenâs eyes were in a daze. Intoxicated from the kiss, she was unable to think straight or speak.
âJust wanted to test your claim from before.â Landon narrowed his eyes and wiped away the saliva on the âYou bullied me⦠You âSo, have we proven your other statement? Do you think Iâm made of water or something else?â
Suddenly, a wave of drowsiness washed over Lauren, and she struggled to keep her eyes open.
He kissed her on the forehead and coaxed her, âGo to sleep. Tell me your answers tomorrow.â
Lauren, who had been animated a few minutes earlier, surprisingly drifted off to sleep. As she dozed off, she heard the faint, enchanting voice of a songstress singing.
âIâve never fallen from quite this high Fallinâ into your ocean eyes Those ocean eyes..
Zoe busted open the door to the lounge with a loud bang. Landonâs half-dressed friends paled at the interruption as the escorts squealed and hid in the menâs arms.
âWho the hell are you?â demanded one of the men, pointing a finger at Zoe. Landon had protected her well by keeping her identity under wraps, and her departure for Yoarkley at a young age meant that not many in Solana City recognized her.
Zoe, who was already incensed, was further enraged by the question. Without a word, she grabbed an empty wine bottle from the table and swung it at the manâs head.
The bottle shattered with a crash, eliciting screams from the women and leaving the men gaping at Zoe.
âSon of a bitch!â Zoeâs eyes were spitting fire. She looked like she was ready to take on anyone.
âAnd where are you from, you crazy bitch?â The other two guys rose to their feet and spoke out for their poor friend.
âWow, things are certainly heating up in here! What are you doing to my sister?â Landon emerged lazily from the balcony, lifting a soundly asleep Lauren in his arms.
