The Untouchable Ex Wife novel Chapter 625

“You can't open the door until the electricity is restored," Stefan said bluntly.

Renee's jaw dropped. "If the electricity doesn't come back on by tonight, I'll have to spend the night with you!"

"I can handle it. It's only one night, after all." Stefan was so calm that Renee wondered where his anxiety from earlier had gone. Only now did she realize that she had fallen into his trap.

"Didn't you say you had PTSD and that your organs would fail and you'd die?" She asked him suspiciously.

"I'll be alright if you're here to give me hugs. I can handle you," Stefan said smoothly.

Renee was speechless.

"You might be able to stand me, but I can't stand you," she remarked, rolling her eyes. "I have to get out of here today!"

She wanted to use the light from her phone to try to figure out how to open the doorknob, but unfortunately, her phone ran out of battery and turned off.

The room became dark once again.

"Damn it!" Her patience had reached its limit, and she patted the ground around her, trying to feel her way towards the door. When she got to that cursed door, she would smash the doorknob!

Suddenly, her hand landed on something rather questionable.

"What… are you doing?" Stefan hissed, not daring to move.

"Why doesn't this feel like the doorknob?" Renee mumbled in confusion, squeezing it a few times.

“Never. I’m not interested in you,” she lied.

“You’re not interested in me?” His tone suddenly turned angry, much to her surprise. He yanked her wrist, grabbed her waist, and pinned her against the door. "Are you sure you're not interested in me?" He growled, his voice husky.

"Oh, certainly," Renee said boldly. “If I was interested in you, I would have done it long ago, and we would have had many children. I would not have allowed Briar-"

Before she could finish her sentence, his lips found hers.

His soft kiss took her breath away. Her mind went blank, and she forgot to protest. She felt herself softening into his kiss, like prey surrendering to a predator.

Stefan smiled against her lips, pleased with her response. "On the contrary… you seem to be very interested in me."
