He Never Noticed Me Until I Loved Someone Else novel Chapter 27

As his contracted wife, bound by the immense benefits her family reaped from the Fuller Group, she knew this was an obligation she couldn't refuse.

Jarrod's lips trailed down the column of her neck.

Stella squeezed her eyes shut.

Feeling his lips press harder against her skin, she was suddenly reminded of the obvious marks he had left on her just a few days ago.

Her grip on the hairdryer tightened, and she whispered breathlessly, "Mr. Fuller, please be gentle... don't leave any marks..."

Hearing this, Jarrod paused.

He reached out with a long arm, gently prying the hairdryer from her tense fingers and setting it on the counter.

Then, he gripped her shoulders and turned her around so she had no choice but to face him.

"How gentle do you want me to be, Mrs. Fuller?" Jarrod asked, a dark, dangerous amusement lacing his husky voice.

The words dripped with pure seduction.

Stella's ears burned scarlet.

Jarrod towered over her, his commanding physical presence completely overwhelming her senses.

She decided to pretend she hadn't heard him, keeping her eyes glued to the floor and remaining silent.

But Jarrod wasn't having it. He caught her chin with his fingers, forcing her gaze up to meet his.

The scorching heat of his skin burned against hers. Stella stood rigidly, her back ramrod straight, terrified to move a muscle.

Jarrod let out a low, dark chuckle.

One arm clamped securely around her waist, while his other hand traced the line of her jaw. "Mrs. Fuller, that bite you gave me certainly wasn't gentle. I think it's time we settled that score, don't you?"

It had been days, and he was still fixated on that.

Seeing the undeniable, blazing hunger in his dark eyes, Stella instinctively tried to pull back.

But the cold marble of the bathroom counter pressed into her spine. She was trapped.

"I—" She frantically tried to explain, but the moment her lips parted, Jarrod crashed his mouth down on hers, swallowing her words completely.

Stella's mind completely short-circuited!

Kissing was something couples in love did.

For the entirety of their two-year arrangement, they had maintained an unspoken rule to completely avoid kissing on the lips.

The last time she woke up hungover with a bitten lip, she was convinced she had chewed on it herself while freezing outside waiting for Logan.

But now... why was Jarrod kissing her with such punishing intensity?!
