Chapter 3: Biting the Reverse-Aging Beauty
All Kayla could see was a pair of long eyelashes, like thick black feathers, gently covering those innate eyes of authority. Those eyes were tinged with a faint dark purple, and beneath the straight bridge of his nose, his thin lips were slightly parted, exuding an indescribable allure and arrogance. His fair face made one wonder if he had stepped out of a movie, a handsome vampire.
Kayla shook her head vigorously.
This can’t be happening!
Didn’t the passport say he was thirty-one? This face doesn’t look like a middle-aged man at all! He’s definitely reverse-aging!
Ethaniel lifted his purple eyes, his sharp gaze falling on Kayla’s face. His eyes, once like a cold pond, narrowed slightly.
This outspoken little woman seemed both heroic and upright. Her big eyes were filled with surprise and disbelief, obviously shocked by his face and age.
He had become accustomed to such reactions over the years.
Ethaniel looked at her, a chilling coldness emanating from his rare purple eyes. “I’m here from abroad to discuss investments. I just arrived in Seatowne last night, so it’s impossible for me to have been involved in any of your so-called gang fights.”
Kayla said sternly, “Since you just arrived last night, please show me your plane ticket.”
“No plane ticket.” Private jets had the privilege of direct flights worldwide, and he had his own private flight path.
“No plane ticket? Then you’re just talking nonsense!” Kayla couldn’t be bothered to argue with him anymore and reached through the window to try to open the car door.
Suddenly, her hand was gripped by a cold touch with a man’s forceful strength. No matter how delicate he looked, his speed and strength were formidable and domineering.
“…” Kayla felt a sharp pain in her wrist, as if it were being gripped by a steel vice, making it impossible to move. She was, after all, a four-time champion of the criminal police fighting competition! This man in front of her, who looked no more than a teenager, how could he… Damn it… She couldn’t break free!
Ethaniel, holding her wrist, was also somewhat surprised. He had expected this arrogant, rough policewoman to be sturdily built and muscular, but her wrist felt so delicate and soft… as if it would break with a single snap. Seeing her wince in pain and frown, he pursed his thin lips and slightly eased his grip.
“Let go!” Kayla’s eyebrows shot up, and she was fuming. “I’m a police officer!”This is the property of Nô-velDrama.Org.
Ethaniel didn’t let go, speaking with a cold certainty, “And I’m not a criminal.”
“Then why can’t you produce a plane ticket? Why is your car bulletproof? And why are you so conveniently at the crime scene? Let go of me!”
“No.” His long, narrow eyes glanced indifferently at the furious policewoman with her flushed cheeks…
“Damn it…” She bit her soft lips tightly. Kayla tried to use all her strength from her fighting competitions to break free, but she couldn’t shake him off. Although she still had her gun, this man was only a “suspect” and not a true criminal, so she couldn’t just shoot him.
“You, are you going to let go or not?” Kayla glared at him, giving him one last chance!
“No.” His steady, icy voice showed no hint of emotion, as if he was waiting for her to draw her gun.
“Fine, you asked for this!” Kayla shot Ethaniel a vicious look, unable to break free and unable to use her gun, she reached her limit. She lowered her head and bit his hand hard.
Though his hand felt a sharp pain, it was coupled with the surprising softness of her lips. As she bit him, her soft tongue inadvertently licked him, causing a peculiar, thrilling sensation.
Ethaniel’s body shivered, rare for him to be stunned like this. A strange sensation surged through him, and his normally restrained body, untouched by women for years, reacted!
He looked in bewilderment at her small head. Under his handsome brows, his hawk-like purple eyes flickered with an inexplicable emotion. He slowly pursed his thin lips, deep in thought.
Gradually, Ethaniel loosened his grip on Kayla’s wrist.
As soon as he let go, Kayla released her bite and looked up, raising an eyebrow at him, “See, you should’ve let go earlier!”
