Chapter 858 – I Belong to No One
The words, meant to be a claim of possession, landed differently.
"Don't be absurd," she said coldly. "I belong to no one."
She shut off the water.
The sudden silence was deafening, broken only by the drip, drip, drip of the showerhead and the frantic thumping of her own heart.
She reached for a towel, her movements stiff and mechanical. She wrapped it around her body, tucking the end securely. She was about to get out of the bathroom, but Lux caught her wrist. This time, he pinned her against the wall. Completely asserted his dominance. His eyes locked on her. There were no humor in them.
"You-" she said, but Lux covered her lips with his. The kiss wasn't sweet. It was wild. Lux dominance was clear. And yes, he was pissed. Yue could feel it. He was mad. His grip on her wrist tightened, a silent warning against another retreat.
This was no longer a negotiation. It was a sentence.
