Meeting The One For Me ( Nathan Franklin )
Chapter 256

Chapter 256

Before she could finish her sentence, Ryan grabbed her wrist and forcefully pulled her toward him.

Audrey stumbled forward. Her chin was gently raised by Ryan, who suddenly pressed his warm lips against hers.

Audrey’s mind went blank for a moment.

She heard someone pushing a rolling clothes rack outside the dressing room.

She widened her eyes and pushed against Ryan’s scorching body.

She stumbled backward clumsily until she collided with the table behind her.

Ryan then gripped the back of her head as he aggressively kissed her while his other hand held her waist tightly.

His palm pressed against her naked back, its warmth causing goosebumps to rise on Audrey’s body.

Audrey was forced to support herself against the table behind her with one hand. She tilted her head back, enduring Ryan’s increasingly intense kiss.

The sounds of their tongues mingling were intense, and the passionate kiss continued for a long time behind the dressing room curtain.

It made Ryan’s whole body tense as his heart pounded, his mind seemingly frozen by the feverish noise.

Audrey’s lips and tongue went numb, and her face flushed red.

Ryan was on the brink of losing control, wishing he could devour Audrey alive.

“Mmm…”

Audrey found herself in a difficult situation, unable to step back or push away the man pressing tightly against her body.

She felt the air being sucked out of her lungs, leaving her disoriented due to lack of oxygen.

Tears blurred her vision, making it nearly impossible to see Ryan’s intense gaze. Her hands, too weak to push him away, were pinned behind her on the table.

Audrey’s entire body trembled uncontrollably.

She was worried about her dress slipping off due to the unzipped zipper and panicked at the thought of being discovered kissing Ryan in the dressing room.

Just as Audrey was about to collapse from lack of oxygen, her phone rang. Ryan held her hand, which was reaching for the phone on the table, and quickly silenced it.

He whispered as he gasped for breath, “If I’m not the refined and righteous man you imagine me to be, would you still like me?”

Audrey, now as pliant as water, rested her head on Ryan’s shoulder, breathing heavily.

As he spoke, his lips brushed against her earlobe, and the cold frame of his glasses grazed

her cheek.

Audrey could feel Ryan’s warm breath on her neck, sending shivers down her spine and making her legs feel even weaker.

She clutched Ryan’s suit jacket with one hand while pressing the other against her chest to keep the dress from falling.

Audrey suppressed her anxious heartbeats and said, “Let’s… talk outside. It’s not safe here; Edward or someone else might see us.”

“Edward has already gone back after he saw me, and I kept the others away.” Ryan couldn’t resist kissing Audrey’s flushed ear as he felt her tense up.

He pushed aside the dresses piled on the long table and lifted Audrey onto it.

He stared at her with heavy breaths. “It’s just the two of us here now. Tell me. Since you like

do you want me?”

me,

“I don’t know.” Audrey’s mind was in turmoil, her words barely forming as she spoke.

“I feel like I understand you, and yet I don’t. You say you like me, but I’m not sure if you like me as a person or if you like me warming your bed.

“I only feel that you like me when we kiss and when we’re together.”

She tightened her grip on Ryan’s suit jacket, avoiding his gaze. His gaze was too hot and intense, his overwhelming presence almost devouring what little rationality he had left.

“I’m afraid you’re only fascinated with my body. And there will be younger and fresher girls appearing. I’m already someone who lacks security, having experienced a failed relationship

once.

“I’m afraid to invest my emotions this easily. Moreover, you seem different from the Ryan I know. I feel like I don’t understand the real you.

“You indeed don’t understand the real me. I’m neither righteous nor unattainable,” Ryan enunciated clearly, his magnetic voice stirring up her emotions.

He traced his fingertips over Audrey’s lips, and his lips were close to her reddened ear.

“You don’t know how strong my dangerous possessiveness and filthy lust for you is. And

there are even more absurd and terrifying fantasies–like forcing you to tilt your head back when we kiss, or forcing you to fall in love with me.”

Audrey’s scalp tingled at Ryan’s crude words.
