Chapter 252 Did I Just Fall for a Fever Dream

Because he cared about her too much, in the real world, he had been terrified of leaving her with regret, terrified she’d spend the rest of her life imprisoned by remorse. After they separated, he hadn’t dared go near her again, hadn’t dared disturbs her.

But this was his dream. In a dream, he could hold her tightly; he could kiss her without restraint; he could pour everything he had into comforting his longing.

“Lillse, I missed you so much..

In the split second Lily froze, he had already rolled over and pinned her beneath him.

He was already holding her tightly, yet his arms kept tightening further, as if he wanted to crush her into his very body.

He missed her so much.

Even though they had only just parted ways that night, the moment she said she never wanted to see him. again, the past few hours had felt like lifetimes.

His desire and yearning for her had become obsessive.

Just holding her, just tightening his grip little by little, couldn’t even begin to soothe the wild ache in his chest.

He couldn’t stop himself–he lowered his face and bit down on her lips like a starving wolf.

“James…

Lily truly hadn’t expected him to kiss her so suddenly.

It had already scared her half to death when he pulled her into his arms and pinned her down.

Then his lips crashed into hers out of nowhere, and she felt like her soul had completely scattered. Once it started to settle back into place, she instinctively pushed against his chest, trying to break free.

But even in his hazy, confused state, he was impossibly stubborn–and far too strong.

Her struggling didn’t put distance between them; instead, it made him more panicked, more desperate. His kiss deepened with every breath, as if he wanted to devour her whole.

“I’m really not Leila… you’ve… you’ve got the wrong person…”

Lily could barely breathe through his kiss; her voice came out broken, fragmented, muffled.

She braced her hands against him, trying to create even a little space. “I’m Lily, not the person you’re looking for, L…”

James couldn’t hear what she was saying

All he saw were those shimmering, almond–shaped eyes–mesmerizing, seductive–pulling him into a daze, dragging him deeper and deeper, making him want to fall into hell for her without a second thought.

The moment he felt her trying to push him away, he remembered what had happened at sunset how the had so clearly drawn a line between them.

That memory, so vivid, so drenched in red–swallowed his soul, consumed his sanity. He panicked, he felt utterly lost. Even if it meant giving up his life, his soul, he wanted to hold onto her.

Gripped by desperation and fear, he buried his face in the crook of her neck and rasped out, “Lillse, don’t leave me. Lillse, I’m cold, hold me…”

Lily’s entire body froze.

She had grown used to seeing James as someone powerful, invincible, impenetrable. She had never seen him like this–like a child, terrified of being abandoned.

If it had been the usual James–the one who was cold, distant, untouchable–maybe she could’ve found the strength to push him away.

But hearing his voice like this, soft and pleading, almost childlike… every ounce of strength in her seemed to vanish. She just couldn’t bring herself to push him away anymore.

By the time she came to her senses, she realized–she was already holding him tightly.

The moment he felt her soft little hands wrap around him, James‘ hollow, desolate heart filled instantly.

He slowly lifted his face from her neck; the kiss that followed was full of tenderness, full of aching affection and fragile yearning.

It was nothing like that earlier, stormy, urgent frenzy. This kiss was gentle; it lingered; it held the weight of eternal love and unwavering devotion, filled with the kind of careful pleading that lured Lily deeper and deeper into his world.

Lily had never been good at resisting his kisses. And now, feeling the vulnerability and restraint in his touch, her heart melted completely. She couldn’t fight it.

She couldn’t even stop herself from responding.

Inch by inch, she surrendered to him–responding to every touch, every kiss.

“Lillse…”

The second he felt her kiss him back, James lit up like a child tasting candy for the first time. His voice rang with sheer, uncontainable joy.

And that joy–it was contagious. It overwhelmed Lily, broke down her last line of reason. She reached up and looped her arms around his neck, kissing him back even harder.

“Lillse, don’t leave me. Don’t ever leave me

When he first pulled her into his arms, James had thought–just holding her wouldn’t be enough to ease the torment in his heart, the maddening need he had for her.

Only kissing her deeply, fiercely–could soothe that ache.

But the moment his lips met hers, he realized–kissing her wasn’t enough either.

He wanted more, he wanted all of her.

He wanted her to belong to him completely.

Only to him. He didn’t care about marriage, children, responsibilities, or promises. Not now. Not in this moment. Right now, all he wanted was to be entangled with her, body and soul, lost in this dream forever. and never waking up.

Pushing past every limit, he took her breath again and again. His kiss trailed downward–swift, urgent like a devoted worshippe

offering his prayers to her body.

His large, defined hands roamed with wild abandon, Underneath, she was wearing a cardigan sweater, the kind with a row of buttons down the front. His fingers clenched suddenly, and the sweater popped open, exposing smooth, glowing skin that gave off the faintest, intoxicating sweetness.

Gazing at that flawless, porcelain–white skin, the usual coldness in his eyes was replaced by unrestrained desire. His eyes burned with such passion that even the corners turned red–like fire catching on dry tinder, revealing a heart laid bare.

Just a glimpse of that beauty, and anyone would lose themselves entirely.
