CHAPTER 149

There was a wine glass in one bottle and a wine bottle in the other hand. There was no time forBenjamin to react the moment Jane grabbed his face out of nowhere. Moreover, before he could evencomprehend why she suddenly lay hands on his face, she was upon him like a wind washing all overhim.

Her lips firmly pressed into his lips as she used all the momentum she could muster. Her eyes wereclosed, but his eyes weren’t. His eyes were far from closing. His heart jumped into his throat as shockshook his soul.

Shadow who had been sitting on the edge of the couch watched with his mouth wide-open and all thehalf-chewed nuts up for view.

Unlike Rebecca who never kissed anyone before on the lips, Jane was a supreme expert as far askissing was considered. Benjamin’s spine bent backward in response, but she kept pressing forward,sucking his lips into her mouth so she could then force her tongue into his mouth. Benjamin’s handsdropped the bottle and the glass before pushing her away so hard she crashed back on the sofa.

However, she got a bright smile on her face. She liked how rough he was. “I wasn’t expecting suchstrength from you. No wonder you could beat that cheater Donovan.” She licked her lips once. “But Imust say your lips taste really well, and you didn’t even apply any flavor, did

you?”

Her voice barely reached Benjamin’s ears because of the loud music going on in the background.Benjamin clenched his fist. His veins swelled, starting from the hand and traveled all the way up to his

neck. He was stepping forward, but Shadow flashed in his path. “Control yourself, my lord,” Shadow senta mental message, his hand pressing against Benjamin’s chest. “Your eyes are turning.”

Benjamin immediately looked away and shut his eyes. Damian, who was looking in the direction whiledancing with Sasha, wondered. (Is she his wife?)

“Take her as far away from here as possible,” Benjamin yelled and ran into the basement.

Shadow swiveled and coldly stared at Jane. “Do you have any idea what you’ve done? If I hadn’tstepped in…”

“Who the hell are you?” Jane was annoyed. “And where did Benjamin go? To the toilet?”

Shadow didn’t respond. In fact, he couldn’t. A lot of thoughts flooded through his mind. (This womandared to tempt my lord… on a new moon night of all nights. I wish I could cut her into a million piecesright now.) He held in the anger as much as he could.

“I asked you a question. Are you deaf?”

Shadow raised his middle finger, shocking her.

“How dare you show me your attitude when I was asking you nicely!” Jane stood and swung her hand,aiming his left cheek, but she completely missed hitting him. Shadow was still in her sight, but he wasjust standing far enough that her hand couldn’t reach him. She quickly

stepped forth and tried slapping once more, but she missed again.

Gritting her teeth, she picked up a wine bottle and threw it at him rather recklessly. He slipped out of thebottle’s path like an elusive wind, and the bottle ended up hitting a stranger’s back.

Screaming in pain, the stranger chased Jane, but she ran away like her life depended on it. He wouldhave caught up with her easily if not for Shadow swiftly throwing a pocket knife and piercing his butt. Thistime the stranger not only couldn’t replace who attacked him but also couldn’t publicly show the pain he felt,either. It was just too embarrassing.

Shadow later stood at the entrance of the basement and didn’t allow anyone to come that way. Damianonce tried to enter it, but Shadow’s cutting smile made Damian change his mind.

“Chill, bro. Tell my brother Benjamin I’m going home with Sasha, and that we liked our time here at thisbar,” Damian told Shadow.

As Damian left, Shadow kept icily staring at him. (Calling my lord a brother…) He didn’t like it, but hecould only swallow his frustration for the sake of his promise to Benjamin. Benjamin, meanwhile, waspunching walls in the basement and left holes in them. It took about fifty punches to somewhat calmhimself, but he was gasping by then. “Why are you acting like you tasted poison?” a feminine voice rangin his mind, and it wasn’t that of Jane. “I poured all my heart into the kiss, but you really know how to hurtmy feelings, Ben. I guess I should have expected this much from a guy who killed everyone he grew upwith.”

Benjamin clutched his head tightly and squeezed it hard. He wanted the voice to go away, but she keptgiggling for some time and then it turned into crying. “Those who sit on the throne must marry,” anothervoice played in his mind. It was his father’s. “Ryenne loves you and wants to marry you. She’s also awarrior who never lost among her peers. You should just marry her. Besides, didn’t you two kiss eachother? Take responsibility, and tie the knot.” “I didn’t kiss her, Father! She took me by surprise and kissedme!” Benjamin fought back.” Why should I take responsibility for her rash actions?” “If you don’t want tomarry her, then do you have someone else in mind?” “No. I’m not ready for marriage yet.” “Fine. I’ll giveyou one year. Choose someone by then, or… marry the one I’ll pick for you. No questions asked.”

After the time passed and some crazy stuff happened, Benjamin ran away from home, not wanting tomarry Ryenne or sit on the throne if he were to be forced to marry someone he wasn’t interested in.

All that trouble started with a kiss, and now the taste of Jane’s lips still remained on his lips and madehim go crazy. Her scent flooded his nose and loaded his brain with nothing but her image. “Stop it.” Hepunched the hardened steel door, trying to break out of the basement.

The sounds skipped Shadow’s heartbeat. “Shit.” He took the daggers out from under his shirt. “I hope thedoor doesn’t break.”
