Rising from the Ashes (Andrew and Lauren) novel Chapter 2144

Andrew asked coldly, "Are you done talking?"

Rowan lifted her chin. "I'm done. What are you going to do about it?"

Andrew gritted his teeth. "I'll show you."

He pulled her into his arms and kissed her hard.

Rowan gasped in surprise, and her mind went completely blank. His kiss was dominant, deep, and unrelenting. At the same time, his hands roamed over her, leaving her weak and trembling, barely able to stand.

Her body was cold to the touch, her constitution unusual.

Andrew found himself sinking into her, almost ready to take things further.

This time, Rowan panicked. She clutched his wandering hand tightly and whispered, "Not here, please! Grandma is still outside. And I-I don't know what I'm doing yet, I can't right now!"

Andrew held her face firmly and growled, "Weren't you just acting bold? Acting like I couldn't do anything to you?"

Rowan gave a breathless laugh, her eyes glistening. "Andrew… thank you."

Andrew froze. "Thank me? For what?"

She kept switching moods, leaving him completely confused.

Rowan smiled sweetly. "Thank you for accepting me. Now I can finally feel at peace. Otherwise, I would have taken the Onyx Serpents and left."

Andrew stared at her. Her natural beauty, as well as her soft and delicate features, had melted away his earlier resolve.

He sighed inwardly, knowing there was nothing he could do. No man could withstand this kind of pursuit. What he had done was simply a mistake any man might make.

Rowan beamed. "Go on now. I'll wait for the day you let me move into Serenity Villa."

She was satisfied, her goal achieved.

Andrew could only chuckle, realizing Rowan was more cunning than he expected. She was already thinking about living at Serenity Villa.
