Novel1Chapter 386: "Home? No thanks. My bed's too stiff. You're warm and soft, and you smell good. Why would I leave?" His bed was stiff? What kind of nonsense was that? He slept on a mattress so expensive it could pay her rent for a year, and he had the nerve to call it uncomfortable. He was shamelessly making excuses just to keep clinging to her.
Without hesitation, Brian slid his arms around her waist and pulled her even closer.
"Brian, let go! Just stop it!" Rachel's voice was tight with frustration, though she kept it low. But Brian knew she wouldn't raise her voice, which only encouraged him to tighten his grip.
"If you don't let go, I'll call someone in here." "Go on, call them. I'm just holding my girlfriend-who's going to stop me?" Rachel clenched her teeth. "How can you be this shameless?"

Rachel twisted in his hold, trying to shove him off, but he was too strong.
He had her pinned, completely overpowered. Leaning close, he whispered against her lips, "What do you think Jeffrey and Andres would say if they walked in right now?" Rachel didn't want to think about the rest. She refused to let her mind go there.
"Stop it!" Her voice cracked as she choked on her sobs, tears spilling freely down her cheeks.
She already looked frail, her pale complexion making her seem almost ghostly, and now, with her face streaked with tears, she looked heartbreakingly delicate—like she could shatter at any moment.
Brian loosened his hold just enough to press soft kisses against the dampness on her face, brushing away her tears with an aching gentleness.
But the tenderness of his actions only made it worse.
"Brian, please... just letgo!" Rachel pleaded, her voice breaking as fresh tears streamed down. She couldn't do this anymore.
