"Mr. Lockwood, why are you so angry?"
The breath he exhaled seeped into his lungs, lingering endlessly.
"If I kiss you until you cry, will you spare me?"
Kiss until cry?
Landon Lockwood's heart trembled.
He was almost bewitched by her, his rationality nearly slipping away.
But her lighthearted words hit him like a bolt from the blue.
He suddenly laughed, his long fingers gripping her chin.
"You?"
A single word, cold as ice.
Cora Lowell raised her eyebrows slightly, a faint smile playing on the corner of her lips.
The meaning was clear enough.
Don't believe it?
Then try it and see.
Landon Lockwood's gaze darkened, his hand sliding down to hold her waist.
This time, he tilted his head and pressed toward her red lips.
The next moment, Cora Lowell raised her hand to firmly block his lips.
Her brows curved in a mischievous grin.
"Mr. Lockwood, don't be so hasty. I haven't finished speaking."
His brows furrowed in impatience.
"More to say?"
