Heartstrings on Fire novel Chapter 7

Everyone thought Agnes was really put through the wringer.

Not only did her ex and his new squeeze show up at her workplace, but her boss also dragged her into his office and gave her a talking-to. She was completely stripped of all dignity.

It was downright brutal!

The moment the door to the boss's office shut, Agnes was pinned against the door by Jared.

His intense kiss left Agnes flushed and breathless. This kiss seemed to carry a punishing intention and was much rougher than any they'd shared before. Agnes' mind was a mess, and she had no strength to resist.

After what felt like forever, Jared finally let go of Agnes, but he still pressed her body against the door.

Jared propped himself up and looked at Agnes. Her cheeks were flushed, looking like ripe peaches, and her eyes appeared misty, like a foggy mystery land.

Agnes was pretty, but not in a drop-dead gorgeous way. It was a comforting beauty that grew on you. She was usually like a lotus in a pond, fresh and pristine.

But now, this lotus seemed to have transformed into a poppy. Her kiss-swollen lips looked incredibly sexy. Her skin was naturally fair, and from Jared's perspective, he could see her swan-like neck and the slight rise and fall of her chest.

Jared felt a burning sensation in his throat, but he tried to suppress his desire and said in a low voice, "You never mentioned having an old flame?"
