Suddenly, Carter swept her off her feet and settled onto the plush leather couch, pulling Sabrina onto his lap. His eyes sparkled with amusement as he said, "Alright, enough. I apologize for not showing up these past few days."
"You..." Sabrina felt extremely embarrassed sitting on his lap. This man was so shameless. They had just met, and he was already holding her like this. So improper!
She struggled to break free from his embrace, but couldn't. Turning to him, she demanded, "Are you going to let me go?"
Carter just grinned mischievously. Without a second thought, Sabrina took a swing at him, slapping him across the face.
He stared at her in shock. She had actually hit him.
Nobody had ever dared to lay a hand on him before. This girl had some nerve. With a swift movement, he pushed Sabrina onto the couch, pinning her down. Sabrina's heart raced. What was he going to do?
Before she could react, he leaned in and claimed her lips in a surprise kiss.
She stared wide-eyed at his handsome face, so close to her own. He was kissing her!
Damn! This was her first kiss, and this jerk had stolen it.
Just as Sabrina was about to fight back, Carter's lips softened, taking a deep breath before biting down lightly on her lower lip.
Sabrina gasped. Just as she was about to curse him, Carter took advantage of her opened mouth to slip his tongue inside, engaging in a passionate kiss.
Sabrina's body tensed up, her senses overwhelmed. His heavy body pressed against her, his kiss fierce, stealing her breath away.
Her body slowly softened. Carter didn’t released her until she felt nearly suffocated.
She tasted sweet, intoxicating him. He had originally intended to simply tease her, but her sweetness was irresistible.
He looked down at the panting girl beneath him, gulping in fresh air like a fish out of water. His heart fluttered with anticipation.
He lowered his head once again and kissed her on the lips, Sabrina didn't even have the strength to resist at all. The man was allowed to kiss her recklessly to the point where he had enough before slowly releasing her.
Sitting up, Carter pulled her into his arms, "That's the price for hitting me."
Sabrina snapped back to reality, glaring at him. She raised her hand to slap him again.
But he caught her hand mid-air, "If you hit me again, it'll be more than a kiss. I'll show you the real consequences of hitting someone."
"You're despicable! Bastard!" Sabrina pushed him away, her face flushed with embarrassment. She could hardly believe that this shameless man had kissed her so intensely.
"Despicable? I'm just doing what a fiancé should do," he grinned devilishly. Sabrina wished she could punch his smug face.
"You...you..." She pointed a finger at him. Carter just chuckled and caught her hand, placing a gentle kiss on her palm.
Sabrina's mind went blank. She pulled her hand away quickly, grabbing her backpack and sprinting out of the mansion.
She didn't wait for the chauffeur, choosing instead to run all the way to school. She ran as if her life depended on it, gasping and out of breath.
Carter stepped out of the mansion, watching her run off like a startled rabbit. He burst out laughing.
His life was about to get a lot more interesting. He could already picture the fun he'd have teasing his future wife.
Feeling elated, he got into his car and drove off to work.
If he had known how much fun she was, he wouldn't have hid away in Melfort.
