Love Unbreakable

Chapter 414 Not Love, Just Desire

Mitchel didn't give Raegan the chance to take a shower alone. With a tender touch, he caressed her nose and rasped, "Alright."

Then, he swept her off her feet and went to the bathroom.

"Ah!" Raegan protested, "Put me down."

There they were, both without clothes, and Raegan felt awkward about where to place her hands.

"Let me assist you." Mitchel set Raegan on a towel-draped countertop, hurriedly filled the tub with water, and then eased her into it.

It dawned on Raegan that she'd fallen for Mitchel's feigned frailty. He didn't seem the slightest bit frail. Particularly in intimate moments, his stamina was astounding!

Raegan lay in the bath, observing Mitchel move around. She decided to shut her eyes. Out of sight, out of mind, she thought.

After a bath, Mitchel brought Raegan back to a bed with freshly changed sheets. The crisp, soft linens were a pleasant touch as she settled down.

Mitchel suggested kindly, "You can rest. I'll go take a shower. He never left his clothes overnight. Last night, he brought fresh ones along.

The sound of running water filled the bathroom, and Raegan felt a headache brewing. Mitchel must have misunderstood!

He thought she had welcomed him into her life.

When Mitchel emerged from the bathroom, dressed, Raegan was poised and ready to clarify. "Mitchel, I need to be clear."

Mitchel saw Raegan's unfriendly face and felt something bad was about to happen to spoil his mood. He looked down. "What is it?"

"That doesn't mean anything. We're adults. Please don't get the wrong idea."

Mitchel looked up, his eyes brimming with sadness. "Wrong idea?"

Raegan knew she came across as a scumbag in this scenario. But she wasn't certain if it was only a fleeting urge. Unable to decipher her heart, she decided to distance herself from the relationship until her feelings were clear.

"This was just about satisfying needs. Please, don't read too much into it," Raegan added evenly.

Mitchel felt as though his heart was in a vice. It was agonizing. His expression tensed, his eyes brimming with distress. "Is this how you see us, Raegan?"

Raegan observed the genuine pain in his demeanor. Yet, the remnants of previous hurts lingered in her heart. Even though Lauren wasn't a problem anymore, another woman, Katie, had her sights set on Mitchel, despite his clear disinterest. There were simply too many women chasing after Mitchel!Têxt belongs to NôvelDrama.Org.

The possibility of encountering another insane woman like Lauren haunted Raegan. How could she be sure history wouldn't repeat itself? Call her fragile or hesitant, but her fears were real. She had grown exceedingly wary. She had grown insecure.

With her thoughts organized, Raegan's voice was steadier, and she said, "My stance hasn't shifted. You're the one who's mistaken."

The room fell into a heavy silence.

Raegan felt an icy tension enveloping the room.

The next second, Mitchel unexpectedly kissed her. His embrace was firm, his hand cradling her head as he initiated a deep, fervent kiss.

Raegan's eyes widened, her thoughts scattering. He was kissing her yet again!

Raegan attempted to push him away, her breath uneven. "Mmm... Mitchel..."

This kiss was passionate and filled with longing.

It lasted for five long minutes before Mitchel finally released Raegan.

Raegan's face went white, and without a second thought, she lifted her hand and slapped him.

Then, Mitchel's face bore the mark of her hand, with five red fingerprints standing out starkly. He didn't dodge or halt her, allowing her to release her frustration.

Breathing heavily, Raegan was seething. "Mitchel, you couldn't kiss me if I don't consent!"

Mitchel seemed oblivious to her words, his gaze fixated on her flushed lips, his expression intense. "You still have feelings for me. You could have pushed me away, but you didn't. You're interested in me."

The mention of "feelings" shifted Raegan's demeanor dramatically. Her previous feelings for him had only brought her anguish.

Her eyes quickly became detached and indifferent. "Mitchel, yes, I responded to the kiss, but it was merely physical desire, nothing more. Why complicate things?"

Mitchel stood rigid, his body and heart frozen. His heart felt like it was being poked by a bunch of needles, which hurt him a lot. He refused to believe it was merely a physical urge. He couldn't believe that someone who used to care about loyalty in relationships would say such things. It was a slap in the face for him. She knew well that he allowed no woman but her such proximity, a privilege exclusive to her.

Mitchel's eyes turned icy. "So, you've satisfied your need and want to kick me aside?"

Raegan saw stubbornness in Mitchel's stance. She moderated her words since she still needed his help on rescuing Nicole. She sighed. "Let's not complicate this. It's not just me in the equation. It's not like you're at a loss, right?"

But Mitchel's heart was still in torment. How could she say this? He retorted coldly, "If it's fun you're after, let's go for round two!"

He then lifted her effortlessly and threw her on the bed. A shadow crossed his eyes at that moment.

Raegan's color drained from her face. The scenario was eerily reminiscent of past ordeals. Mitchel seemed beyond reason, "Mitchel, this happens only with my consent!"

Raegan struggled to sit up but was restrained by Mitchel, who pressed her back onto the bed.

Mitchel's eyes blazed with intensity, and his words cut like ice. "You claimed it was just for desire, right? Well, I'm not done yet. I desire you!"

Raegan's refusal was palpable as she attempted to fend him off. "I don't want it, Mitchel! You're insane!"

Mitchel gripped her delicate ankle, his heart aching and his eyes filled with cold intensity. "If only I were insane, I wouldn't have to endure so long!"

At that instant, Mitchel longed to lose himself in madness, free from all emotions and concerns without showing signs of weakness. Thus, he wouldn't feel so helpless around her!

Mitchel bent down, his heart heavy, and despite Raegan's attempts to avoid him, he kissed her once more.

Raegan's efforts to escape were futile against Mitchel's overwhelming strength. His arms felt like iron clamps, holding her tightly in place. He didn't show her any mercy.

Raegan felt like a fish about to be caught, and it felt bad. Her eyes welled up, and her voice trembled as she said, "Mitchel, I hate you!"

Those words immediately crushed Mitchel's desire. His eyes showed deep pain, and his voice was rough. "You... You hate me?"

Raegan's face was void of color, and her tone was weak. "Your actions always cause me pain. You never show me respect!"

Mitchel's heart hurt even more when he heard her say that. Was this all she perceived of him? He had lowered his pride repeatedly, only to face her scorn and disdain.

This realization left Mitchel feeling utterly empty. He rose slowly, his heart numb.

Overwhelmed with hurt, his gaze turned icy as he warned, "If you dare get intimate with anyone else, you'll face the consequences!"

With those words, he stormed out of the room.

Raegan sat there, dumbfounded. Was that a threat? She truly regretted it now. She wished she hadn't acted so hastily and slept with him. Mitchel was still the same. Unless she aligned with his wishes, he would always try to dominate her.

Raegan was grateful that she stayed level-headed and didn't give in. They were not a good match.
