Noreen was about to struggle.
Just then, the sound of footsteps echoed outside the door.
"He ran this way! Find him!"
"How dare he kick Miss Caldwell into the pond! When we catch him, we're taking him straight to the police!"
Noreen immediately froze.
This gave Seth the opening he needed.
He lowered his head, burying his face in the soft skin of her exposed neck.
It was a sensitive spot for her.
His hot breath on her skin sent a shiver down her spine.
"Let go of me!"
Afraid of alerting the security guards outside, Noreen could only hiss the warning through gritted teeth.
Seth only grew bolder.
Not only did he not let go, but his tongue darted out, tracing a line across her trembling skin.
Noreen's mind went blank, as if something had just exploded.
"You're drunk! Stop this madness!"
"It's because I'm drunk that I miss you this much."
The alcohol made his voice sound husky.
His hand tightened on her waist, and without any hesitation, he crushed his lips against hers.
The kiss was anything but gentle.
He was like a powerful invader, intent only on conquering her territory.
Noreen instinctively tried to speak, to stop his insane behavior.
But the moment she parted her lips, he seized the opportunity, his tongue tangling with hers.
She was dizzy from the kiss, the feeling of oxygen deprivation both strange and familiar.
She could feel the base of her tongue going numb, her entire body tense with anxiety.
Outside the door, the guards were still searching.
Inside, a fiery battle was raging.
A fine layer of sweat broke out on Noreen's back.
The cold of the wall against her bare skin shocked her back to her senses.
Noreen opened her mouth, and just as Seth pressed forward, she bit down hard.
A muffled groan escaped him, and the metallic taste of blood filled her mouth.
He pulled back slightly, but still kept her trapped in his arms.
