Chapter 15 Kiss
Reynold’s attention was drawn to her condition, and he instinctively stepped closer.
Gently moving her hand aside, he noticed the bright red mark on her pale forehead.
“How can you be so clumsy?”
“I’m not clumsy–I’m dizzy!” she retorted.
“Stay still,” Reynold instructed firmly.
Without hesitation, he turned on the shower, letting the icy water spray over her.
Catherine, overheated and struggling, felt the shock of the cold water. The sudden chill made her head spin, and she collapsed against Reynold’s chest.
“It’s freezing! I don’t want cold water,” she murmured, her warm body pressing against his.
The cold water soaked them both, drenching his white shirt and black trousers as she clung to him.
Reynold backed away slightly, still holding her under the stream of water.

Catherine felt as though she was burning from within, desperate for relief, like a fish gasping for water. Her small hands began to wander, brushing against his toned waist.

Reynold stiffened immediately, his body tensing. His voice was sharp as he said, “Catherine, do you even realize where your hands are?”
Her eyes, now hazy and unfocused, held a playful innocence. “I found your six–pack abs.”
He was momentarily speechless.
Still gazing up at him, she admired his flawless features. “You’re handsome too.”
Reynold pushed her gently against the cold wall, his voice low and slightly hoarse. “Behave yourself!”
Catherine grinned mischievously. “Wow, you’re so strong! I like that.”
Frustrated, Reynold grabbed the showerhead and aimed the cold spray directly at her flushed face, hoping to sober her up.
She squirmed and shoved his hand away. “Reynold, if it were Evelyn who was drugged, would you treat her like this?”
He froze, caught off guard. “What are you talking about?”
Catherine’s eyes were blurred with tears, and she trembled, her voice filled with defiance and loneliness. “Because it’s me, you think a cold shower is enough. None of you care about me!”
Reynold noticed the redness in her eyes as if she had been crying earlier.
At that moment, Catherine suddenly lunged at him, sinking her teeth into his exposed Adam’s apple.
Reynold hadn’t expected that, being one of the most sensitive areas on a man’s neck, she bit down sharply, her small teeth pressing into his skin. His eyes instantly narrowed in pain, and he could feel a strange numbness spreading through his waist.
This d’mn woman!
He instinctively pulled her in, wrapping his arms around her delicate waist, which felt fragile, as if it could snap with the slightest movement.
Her waist was so slender it could almost be measured with just his thumb and finger.
Her body, so fragile yet beautiful, made him realize how rare and captivating she truly was.

He took a shaky breath, reaching up to pinch her face and pushing her slightly away.

Her flushed face fit perfectly in his palm. He pinched her harshly, muttering angrily, “Do you have some obsession with biting things?”

Catherine, weakened by a mix of alcohol and the drug, seemed barely in control of herself. She gazed up at him, her eyes shimmering with unshed tears.
It looked like she might break down at any moment.
Reynold froze, immediately pulling his hand back.
But Catherine, not letting go, wrapped her arms around his neck. “Sorry, I didn’t mean to hurt you. Does it hurt?”
Before he could answer, she pressed a gentle kiss to his throat.
A spark ignited in Reynold’s eyes as she trailed kisses up his neck, leaving red marks along his jaw.
The fierce woman who had just bitten him now seemed like a gentle kitten, nuzzling and kissing him tenderly.
Catherine asked curiously, “Have you slept with Evelyn?”
Reynold’s expression darkened.

She stood on tiptoe, her eyes locked on his lips. “Reynold, I’ve been drugged. I’m still your wife. Won’t you help me?”
Reynold’s hands tightened around her delicate waist, her fragile form tempting him to pull her closer.
Catherine slowly leaned in, moving closer to kiss his lips.
Reynold didn’t pull away.
They were just about to kiss when a soft ringtone suddenly rang out, interrupting the moment
Reynold pulled his phone from his pocket and saw ‘Evelyn‘ flash on the screen.
His focus snapped back when he saw the caller ID.
He was a mess—his clothes were damp, his body marked with traces of her kisses, his breathing uneven, and his desire stirred.
It was Catherine who had sparked this reaction in him!
He didn’t even have feelings for her, so he convinced himself it was just a natural response to the temptation of a beautiful
woman.
Reynold answered the call, guilt weighing on him as he spoke. His voice softened as he called out, “Evelyn.”
On the other end, heavy metal music played in the background. Evelyn’s sweet voice came through. “Reynold, I’m at the bar.”
Reynold replied, “No drinking. Have your assistant get you some milk.”
She giggled. “I know. My assistant always listens to you. Reynold, come over and have fun with me. I’ll be waiting for you.”
