Departure with a Belly (Alaric and Victoria)

Chapter 555

Chapter 555 Won’t Affect Me Kissing You

Alaric’s searing breath fanned across her face, and before Victoria could react, she felt his lips on top

of hers.

“Mmph.”

The sudden kiss caused her to freeze in place, not expecting him to pounce on her in the office. The

sensation. on her lips was both warm and soft, and Alaric’s scent mingled with her breath and

penetrated her senses.

Soon, Victoria recovered from her bewilderment and began to press her hands against his chest,

pushing him. away from her. “Mmph… No… We’re at the office…..”

If anyone walked in on them, she would never be able to recover from the embarrassment. Hence,

Victoria leaned backward as she spoke, trying to avoid his kiss.

After she dodged him twice, the man before her stopped in displeasure before he immediately reached

out to hold the back of her neck, his low and hoarse voice thick with unsatisfied lust.

“What are you hiding for?”

As Victoria glanced at him, she was immediately taken aback by his deep stare. Ever since reuniting

with Alaric, she had never seen such a look on him–his eyes were so dark it was as if they contained

an endless void inside, magnetic and tempting, as if she would be swallowed whole at any moment.

As she recalled their fervent kiss and met his dark gaze, her fair skin uncontrollably flushed crimson.

She even reflexively turned her face away to avoid his eyes as she stammered, “W–What if someone

comes

in…”

Alaric replied hoarsely, “Nobody will come in.”

Victoria was momentarily rendered speechless. “How do you know that?” NôvelDrama.Org is the owner.

“Besides Mr. Poole, who would dare to enter your office without permission? Besides, even Mr. Poole

has to knock before coming in, right?”

“R–Really?” As Victoria had not completely recovered her memory, she was unaware of this fact.

“Yeah.”

Unexpectedly, Alaric answered her question firmly. Although this company did not belong to him, he

replied as if he were the owner of the company instead of her.

Once he replied to her, Alaric tightened his grip on the back of her neck and began to lower his body to

kiss her

again. However, Victoria reflexively dodged aside as he approached, causing him to miss her lips once

more.

Even though she had not expected their first kiss, it allowed him to get a taste of the sweetness he had

long desired, and it was much more delightful than he had imagined. In the end, what was supposed to

be a brief taste ended in him being unwilling to let go. And yet, before he could fully savor her, she

denied his touch.

When he hadn’t received his desired kiss even after explaining things to her, Alaric was filled with

dissatisfaction and stared at her intently, his hand subconsciously tightening behind her neck.

However, although he was possessive, he did not apply enough force to hurt her.

“Why are you hiding again?”

Victoria’s ears flushed red at the sound of his voice that had completely gone hoarse. “I…”

Upon noticing her ears that had turned completely crimson, Alaric felt his displeasure dissipating

somewhat, and a smile appeared on the corners of his lips as he teasingly pinched the tips of her ears.

“Why are you so shy? Are you too embarrassed to let me kiss you, or are you afraid that someone will

walk in?”

While it was true that Victoria was embarrassed, she was more worried that someone would walk in. If

someone saw them in their current situation, she would completely lose her authority as their superior.

A long pause later, she finally said, “We shouldn’t kiss here, let’s wait-”

“No.”

At first, Victoria was about to tell him to wait until they got home when she was interrupted by Alaric

before

she could finish. “I don’t want to wait.”

As soon as his words fell, Victoria felt a force lifting off the back of her neck. Then, she watched as

Alaric turned

around and headed toward the door.

Seeing that, she assumed that he was angered by her rejection. His warmth still lingered on the parts

of her body that he had touched, and now she only felt empty.

Where is he going?

Just as Victoria was pondering over this question, Alaric had already arrived at the entrance and raised

a hand, locking the door. Seeing this, Victoria, who had thought that he was about to leave in a fit of

anger, was

rendered silent.

She stood frozen in place, watching as he headed back toward her after locking the door, a hint of

ferocity in his eyes. More accurately, it was the sheer darkness in his eyes that made him seem so

ferocious. Now, Victoria was like prey that was at the mercy of a wolf, and this wolf was a fierce and

charismatic one.

When she recalled how she had stopped him from doing anything with her due to his injuries, Victoria

was immediately filled with a strong sense of danger. Sensing that she was most likely unable to

escape, she reflexively circled around the desk and stood at the other end before he walked over.

At the same time, her movements caused Alaric to stop in his tracks. Then, he steadied himself and

looked at her, both amused and exasperated. “What are you hiding for, Snowball? If you’re afraid that

someone will come. in, that won’t happen. I’ve already locked the door.”

What a joke. It is precisely because you locked the door that I’m even more afraid now. When the door

was still unlocked, he might still hold himself back out of consideration that someone might walk in at

any moment. But now that the door was locked and seeing how ravenous he was earlier, Victoria was

genuinely worried that he might devour her whole if she submitted to him.

Even so, she did not detest the motion; rather, she only felt that it was unacceptable to commit such an

act in a place like this. What if she made an indescribable sound and was overheard by the people next

door or a passerby? Either way, she had gone through every single possibility in her mind, and she

firmly believed that she could not accept this.

When she remained immobile, Alaric grew impatient from waiting–or perhaps, his yearning further

intensified, begging to be let out. He propped his hands on the table, his intent gaze boring into her.

“Snowball, come here.”

Victoria only froze for a few seconds before she decisively refused, “No.”

She knew all too well what would happen if she went to his side.

Her actions amused Alaric, and he asked, “How long do you think you can hide from me?”

As he said these words, he began to stroll toward her languidly.

With every step he took, Victoria took a step backward, saying, “Can’t you control yourself? Your

wounds…”

Before she could finish, Alaric said, “They’re healed.”

“It’s only been a few days. How can they be healed?” Then, a thought occurred to her and she added,

“Besides you just promised me not to go to the office.”

“Yeah, I promised you not to go to the office, but I never promised not to kiss you.”

His voice was clear, and his steps began to quicken.

“Even if my wounds aren’t healed yet, it won’t affect me kissing you, right?”

His constant mention of kissing distracted Victoria, and before she could return to her senses, he soon

caught up to her with his swift strides and swept her into his embrace.

“Snowball…”

Alaric’s breath was hot as he pulled her into his arms before lowering his head, desperately searching

for her soft lips. His movements were urgent, as if he were a thirsty man who had just stumbled upon

an oasis in a var
