Chapter 30 Thirty
As he kissed her deeper, he dropped his hand to her neck, caressing her soft skin, annoying its feel
beneath his fingers. His hand moved lower to her shoulder, which was bare but for the straps of her
camisole.
He went past the straps to her bare arms, stroking her skin lightly. She shivered in his arms, and he
wondered whether it was a reaction to him or the cold.
Her hands, which were now clutching to his shoulders tightly, pushed him back and she tried to
disengage their lips. But he only pulled her closer, now teasing her lips with his tongue. She gasped
and drew in a breath through her mouth, and it was only then that it occurred to him that she was out of
breath and wanted a break.
Before he could give her a little space–with full intention of resuming the kiss right after–the two jerked
apart as the car suddenly skidded to a halt. Jacob quickly wrapped his arms around Isabelle to keep
her from falling off the seat and glared at Kevin.
“I’m sorry, sir. I almost ran into a cat and had to brake suddenly,” Kevin explained, turning to look at
him. When he saw the position the two were in, he turned his head away quickly. “We have arrived,” he
added meekly.
In the backseat, Jacob could barely control his anger. Things were going so well until the sudden
braking ruined the mood. “I’ll make sure to deduct fifty percent of your salary to help stray cats,” he shot
back at his driver.
At the mention of a salary cut, Kevin met his boss’s eyes in the rearview mirror, but the glare that met
him had him bending his head quickly. He gulped and thought twice about complaining. Quickly, he left
his seat to go open the backseat, not wanting to displease Jacob anymore.

After leaving the car, Jacob carried Isabelle up to their apartment and into her room. He placed her
gently on her bed and then headed to the bathroom to draw her a bath. He figured that a lukewarm
bath would help her feel better and fall asleep restlessly.
After setting up the bath, he went back to her bedroom to get her. However, he found that she had
already fallen asleep. She was no longer mumbling about the temperature or stirring, and her face
looked serene. Seeing that she was no longer in discomfort, he decided there was no need to bath her.
It was alright if she could sleep soundly like that.
Jacob reached for the blanket, meaning to tuck her in. But before he could, he stilled, captivated by her
face. It was almost unreal that a few minutes ago, he had held that face in his hands and kissed her.
Her red and swollen lips were all that remained to show what had happened between them.
He ached to reach forward, touch those lips, maybe give her a goodnight kiss. But he fought against
the urge. Kevin’s lacklustre driving might have interrupted the heated moment in the car, but it hadn’t
put out the fire that had ignited in his veins. Now that he had had a taste of those lips, felt how it was to All content is © N0velDrama.Org.
hold her in his arms, he knew it would be difficult to restrain himself around her.
Sighing, he leaned forward and started covering her with the blanket. What he didn’t expect was for her
to suddenly wrap her hands around his waist and drag him down to the bed.
He stumbled onto the bed, and before he could make a move, she threw a leg around his hips, trapping
him like a koala clinging to a tree. He looked at her face in shock only to find that her eyes were still
closed as she slept peacefully.
He swallowed hard and thought of how to extricate himself from her hold without awaking her. How
could she look so serene in her sleep while still tempting him with her actions?
As he looked down at her, however, his eyes fell on her cleavage, which was exposed in her current
position, and his brain took a vacation. While he lost all thought, his body reacted immediately.
Suddenly, it was as if minutes hadn’t passed since they were locked in each other’s arms in the car.
The desire he had been trying to suppress the past few minutes rushed back, and he groaned as his
member hardened in his pants.
Instead of pulling away from her, he was drawn to her sexy figure, and he found himself returning her
embrace, wrapping his arms around her body. His hands skimmed down the side of her camisole,
dipping into her slender waist, and touching bare skin at the waist.
A low groan ripped past his lips as he leaned forward and pressed his lips to her neck, unable to hold
himself back any longer.
