Her refusal, however, proved pointless. Instead, Vincent only grew more possessive. Gently, he held her face, his kisses soft as if he treasured her touch. This tenderness made her defenses crumble, Katelyn’s heart pounding.

What had started as an intention to push him away slowly shifted into a desire to welcome him instead. Katelyn felt as though it was her body’s instinct, pulling her closer to him.

Vincent’s teeth grazed her lips, his gaze intensely observing Katelyn’s reactions. Her vulnerability fascinated him, his typically cold gaze now ablaze with passion.

He traced his lips to Katelyn’s earlobe. At that moment, Katelyn’s heart raced faster, and her body shook with an uncontrollable tremor. With a smile, Vincent murmured into her ear, “You’re breathtaking, Katelyn.”

His compliment felt deep and genuine, igniting a flurry of emotions within Katelyn.

A strange sensation overwhelmed her. A daring desire crystallized in her mind. She found herself wanting this man…

Katelyn had long suppressed her feelings for Vincent due to their complex relationship, but now, these emotions engulfed her with overwhelming intensity. It was an entirely new sensation for Katelyn. Yet, she refused to press it down any longer.

Rising slightly, Katelyn draped her arms around Vincent’s neck, eagerly reciprocating his kisses.

However, Katelyn appeared to be lacking experience in this area. Each of her gentle kisses was awkward, yet it was this very inexperience that made it even more difficult for Vincent to control himself. The passion in his heart surged more intensely with every touch.

Vincent’s self-control began to weaken. In response, he pinned Katelyn’s hands above her head, his eyes wild with passion, and warned, “This might get rough if we don’t stop.” His voice rasped with urgency.

Reclining against the sofa, breathless, Katelyn said, “You will be gentle.” Her bathrobe had loosened in their tussle, revealing much of her skin, her voice filled with desire. Katelyn, in this state, was irresistibly seductive.

His Adam’s apple moved as he swallowed, and the desire in his eyes burned with such intensity that it seemed to consume him, making him want to have her completely.

Vincent leaned down and kissed Katelyn’s lips with intense force. Nibbling at her lip, he inadvertently snapped Katelyn out of her haze of desire.

Suddenly, Vincent pulled away and stood, saying firmly, “Not now.” Despite the rage within, he mustered his restraint. For now, he should hold back.

Katelyn watched Vincent step towards the bathroom, feeling utterly embarrassed.

“Oh God, what had I just initiated?” She had made the first move! Mortified, Katelyn buried her face in a cushion, overwhelmed by her own boldness.

This was only the beginning of a new phase in their relationship, not even fully established, and she had acted so impulsively. Certainly, that wasn’t appropriate.

The desire in Katelyn’s heart slowly began to settle. Not only did Vincent seem to need a moment, but she also felt the overwhelming urge to take a shower to calm herself down. She decided to never let herself lose control like that again.

When Vincent returned from the bathroom after ten minutes, he found Katelyn nibbling on a snack. He served her a glass of hot water, advising, “Drink this first; it might help you settle.”

Pausing her snack, Katelyn reached for the glass, her fingers briefly touching his. She felt the chill of Vincent’s fingers and looked up with a slight frown, warning, “You shouldn’t take cold showers late at night; it’s bad for your health.”

Being a doctor, such advice came naturally to her.

Yet Vincent met Katelyn’s gaze with intensity, saying, “Without a cold shower, I just can’t cool off.”
