Never Mistake a Queen for a Lapdog novel Chapter 1262

Claire deliberately found a quiet corner before answering Wilbur's call.

"Baby, where are you?" he asked.

She still wasn't used to him calling her that. When they were alone, it felt like playful dirty talk. But right now, she was out in public.

"I'm out," Claire replied, forcing her voice to stay cool and composed, even as the tips of her ears burned.

"Alone?" Wilbur pressed.

A wave of guilt hit her. "Yeah."

A low chuckle rumbled through the speaker. "Is that so?"

"Baby, you're not lying to me, are you?"

There was a subtle, grounding edge to his tone, as if he were speaking through gritted teeth. It sent a shiver down her spine. It sounded as though he were standing right there, watching her.

Claire tried to brush it off. "If there's nothing else, I'm hanging up. I need to get back to the hotel."

Before she could even register his response, a large, warm hand clamped down on the back of her neck.

Startled, Claire whipped her head around.

Wilbur stood there, his dark eyes narrowed and predatory, his Adam's apple working as he stared her down.

Without letting go of her neck, he dipped his head and crashed his lips against hers.

Little liar!

Lying right to his face!

She needed to be punished!

"Mmph—"

They were in a restaurant! What the hell was he doing?!

He swallowed her protests whole, his kiss hitting her like a tidal wave—fierce, urgent, and completely unyielding. Ignoring her muffled struggles, he forced her lips apart and plunged inside, leaving her breathless and thoroughly overwhelmed.

When he finally pulled back, he bit her bottom lip hard enough to draw a gasp of pain.

"No wonder you were ignoring me. Turns out you were busy reeling in a new catch," he sneered.

"Asked for the day off, did you?"

"Let me catch you having dinner alone with another man again. Just try it!"

Claire's eyes went wide. He had seen everything!
