Chapter 240 The Drunken Lion Cub
Chapter 240 The Drunken Lion Cub
Lily knew James was a man of integrity–principled and upright. A true gentleman.
He would never hurt her.
So now that she was drunk, her body and mindpletely rxed, all her defenses dropped. She let herself go–free and reckless.
With hazy, intoxicated eyes, she lowered her gaze and took in the man beneath her, pinned to the lounge chair.
<i>He’s </i>really, ridiculously handsome…
Those eyes–so cold and deep–yet when they looked at her earlier, it felt like the entire gxy had been poured into them.
It was like they were pulling her in, casting a spell.
Swallowing nervously, she couldn’t resist reaching out and gently touching the corner of his eye.
It was true–both he and Simon had wless phoenix eyes. But somehow, they feltpletely different to her.
When she looked into Simon’s eyes, all she felt was annoyance and disgust. It made her want to dig his eyeballs out and feed them to a dog.
But James‘ eyes…
They made her bold. Reckless. Hungry.
She didn’t know how to express just how much she liked those eyes. All she could do was awkwardly cup his face in her hands and press a soft kiss to the corner of his eye.
“Le…”
His voice was hoarse–thick with tension.
He hadn’t expected it. The way she cupped his face so suddenly, kissed him so lightly, like a mischievous little fox.
And the softness of that kiss–it shattered hisst defenses..
But she was drunk.
She had no idea what she was doing.
He couldn’t take advantage of her like this.
James struggled to lift his hand, trying to create some space between them. He kept reminding himself over and over–<i>don’t </i><i>lose </i><i>control</i><i>, </i><i>don’t </i><i>cross </i><i>the </i><i>line</i>.
But the very next second, she turned around and straddled him.

“Le<b>, </b>get off!”
Her body pressing against his turned his whole frame rigid as stone. A flood of heat,ced with temptation and wild craving, surged through his veins, nearly drowning his sense of reason.
He couldn’t think.
Couldn’t breathe.
All of his soul–everyst shred–had already surrendered to her.
His body refused to listen to him. He couldn’t force himself to push her away, He could only grit his teeth and rasp out warnings, over and over, begging her to move on her own.
But the same girl who’d looked shy and awkward just hours ago now refused to behave.
Like she was on a treasure hunt, she reached up and traced his features with her fingertips, one by one.
Lily had always thought men’s skin was supposed to be a little rough.
But his…
His skin was unbelievably smooth–just as wless as hers.
That pale, coolplexion gave him a sense of distant elegance, untouchable. But it didn’t make him look feminine at all.
Her fingers skimmed over his cheek, and it felt like she was touching the surface of a fine piece of jade- warm, smooth, perfect. She didn’t want to let go.
“Elias, why are you so good–looking?”
Her face drew closer as she murmured in a dreamy whisper, “How do you do it? Your skin’s so nice… Did you use a beauty filter or something?”
“I…”
James could barely speak. His heart was pounding, breath erratic. He couldn’t even form words, let alone exin that no, he obviously hadn’t used a beauty filter–this wasn’t a video call.
And still, the little demon in hisp kept pushing further.
Her fingers moved from his cheeks to his lips.
In that moment, James felt like even his heartbeat and his breath no longer belonged to him.
He turned his face away, trying to shut it all out–her closeness, her touch. But even with his eyes closed, the ragged sound of his own breathing gave him away.
She could feel it too. Her fingertips still rested on his lips.
His lips were gorgeous.
Perfectly shaped, soft and warm. <i>So </i><i>biteable</i>.

Chapter 240 The Drunken Lion Cub
Fueled by liquid courage and flushed with heat, she didn’t even hesitate.
She leaned down like a bold little lion cub and gently bit him.
That sensation–it was addictive.
One bite wasn’t enough. She wanted another.
“Le, don’t–don’t kiss me… don’t move ”
James was losing it.
He was terrified that if hepletely let go, he’d scare her, overwhelm her. <i>So </i>he clung to thest threads of control, his voice cracking as he tried to warn her.
“Shut up!”
Lily, drunk and unruly, snapped at him like an angry kitten, puffing out her cheeks and scolding him like a brat.
There wasn’t an ounce of intimidation in her, but God, she was adorable.
<i>Too </i><i>adorable</i><i>. </i><i>Too </i><i>tempting</i><i>. </i>
She continued threatening him in that spoiled, indignant tone.
“If you weren’t so damn good–looking, you think I’d be
and it’s all because of you! And now you’re being sting ssing you? It’s your fault! Elias, I want to kiss you
