His answer was to crush his mouth against mine in a bruising kiss. I struggled against him, pushing at his shoulders, nails digging in, but he held me immobile, one hand tangled in my hair to keep me in place, the other at the small of my back, pressing me against him. I could taste his anger, his possession, and my own rage on his lips.

Outside the oor, voices drifted past, hushed but still audible.

footsteps and voices faded as they moved down the hallway, but the damage was done. Drake had heard every word, I could feel his body tense with fury, his grip becoming almost painful.

To my surprise, he released me, stepping back. The look in his eyes had changed-there was still anger there, but something else too. Something that almost looked like regret. I sagged against the table, wiping my mouth with the back

of my hand, tasting blood where his kiss had bruised me.

Without a word, he shrugged out of his suit jacket and draped it over my shoulders. The warmth of the fabric and his scent

enveloped me immediately, wrapping around me like a possessive embrace.

“I want Allen’s jacket back,” I said, my voice steadier than I felt, though my lips still tingled from his kiss.

“Why?” Drake’s eyes narrowed, nostrils flaring slightly as he scented the air between us. “You don’t seem to mind his scent

on you.”

“Ava asked me to return your clothes,” he continued, his tone casual but with an undercurrent of possession. “I have them

in my car.”

We left the room one after another, Drake leading the way. His commanding presence parted the crowd in the hallway, people instinctively stepping aside as we passed. No one dared to approach us-the energy radiating from Drake kept them at a distance. I followed a step behind, my legs feeling like jelly, Drake’s jacket still hanging from my shoulders like a

brand.

“I’ll drive you home,” he stated as we reached the grand staircase. “Your clothes are in my car.”

“No,” I said firmly
