However, Rachel didn't dare sleep with her eyes closed.
This despicable man had done too many things to her these past few days at work, making her grind her teeth in anger.
The moonlight outside was bright, shining through the large window that reached the floor.
These past few days had been crazy. Why did she quit her job and end up here? Was he really asleep?
Rachel turned her head to look at the man on the big bed. He really was asleep, sleeping soundly.
How could she have believed he was an insomniac?
But… he really was handsome, sleeping like some big boy, with a slight smile on his lips and a face full of satisfaction.
At this moment, he actually looked kinda gentle, not like the cold, arrogant, and domineering guy he usually was.
Rachel also felt a weird kind of peace. Could she really bring him peace?
Just thinking about it felt like a dream. How did she even end up in his life?
As she thought about it, Rachel finally fell asleep...
The autumn sun shone through the window, and Kellan slowly woke up.
He lazily opened his eyes and looked outside. It had been a long time since he'd slept this well.
When he thought of that woman, a happy smile tugged at his lips. He didn't know why, but every time she was around, he could sleep straight until dawn.
He looked up and saw her curled up on the ottoman at the foot of the bed.
Kellan got up and sat on the edge of the bed, only about an arm's width away from her.
Her soft, pink face still had a hint of sleepiness, like a neighborhood girl, gentle and sweet.
Her thick curled eyelashes, her rose-petal-like lips… they were so tempting it made someone want to take a bite.
Suddenly, Rachel opened her eyes and was startled by the super close-up of that unfamiliar yet infuriatingly handsome face.
She blinked. He was so close.
"That handsome face of Kellan Elliot is seriously infuriating! Kellan!"
Instinctively, she pushed him away. Her face turned red. What was this man trying to do?
"Kellan!" Rachel shouted and shoved him hard.
Kellan was caught off guard and got pushed away, furrowing his brows as he approached again, this time with a cold, scary look in his eyes.
This woman really didn't know her place...she needed to be punished.
Without waiting for her reaction, he suddenly grabbed her waist and kissed her deeply. His strong male scent surrounded her.
"Mmmn…" Rachel wanted to pull back, but she had nowhere to run. Her back hit the bedframe.
She tried to resist, but he easily subdued her with both hands. His tongue was already inside her mouth, taking full control, tasting her breath, it was sweet and fragrant.
"Mmm… let go…" Her breathing was messy. Her face flushed red, and she glared at the man in front of her with hate.
Normally, Kellan had really good self-control. But this woman... she was different. Just one kiss and he felt something in him break loose. He wanted to pin her down and go all the way.
But just when she was almost out of breath, he finally let go.
"Kellan, you bastard." She gasped and raised her hand to hit him.
"Silly woman, if you're not obedient, you'll be punished. If you don't mind, we can do it again."
He grabbed her hand, his tone teasing and flirty.
His warm breath touched her face, and she felt itchy and annoyed.
Rachel turned her head and saw his super smug expression. She seriously wanted to strangle him!
But she was under his roof. The more she resisted, the more annoying he got.
She clenched her fists, but then lifted her chin and smiled sweetly. "I just woke up and saw a big man looking over me. Of course I had to protect myself."
