The Mocked Miss’s Hidden Crowns novel Chapter 387

“I’m sorry.” Anthony’s heart was still pounding. He bent down a little, pressing his forehead against Charlotte’s, his voice rough and low. “Tell me how I can make it up to you.”

Charlotte’s lips tightened. Her cool, dark eyes traced the lines of his face, lingering on features so unfairly handsome that it almost hurt to look at him.

“Lottie…” Anthony frowned, unsure what she was thinking.

“Come here,” she said, grabbing his tie and tugging him closer. Before he could react, she leaned in and pressed her warm lips to his.

Anthony barely had time to register the jolt of electricity before Charlotte parted her lips and bit down, hard.

He sucked in a sharp breath.

She was really mad this time. Anthony gave a helpless smile, freeing one hand to gently cradle the back of her head, making it easier for her.

A few minutes passed before Charlotte finally let go, her anger spent. She pulled away at her own pace.

Anthony wiped a trace of blood from the corner of her mouth with his thumb, a soft chuckle slipping out.

Charlotte stared at his now-swollen lips. The memory of N Organization’s brush with disaster flickered through her mind, making her gaze turn cold. “Don’t forget, you owe me.”

Anthony figured she meant what had happened earlier and didn’t bother to deny it. “Yeah, I owe you.” He wrapped her coat tighter around her, brushing his nose against hers. His eyes were impossibly gentle, his voice low and tempting. “Lottie, I’ll give myself to you. Would that be enough?”

His whole life, everything he had, all for her.

Charlotte studied him quietly, her expression finally starting to soften.

“Did you miss me?” Anthony asked, seeing her anger fade away. He inched closer, his heart oddly soft. “I missed you. Really missed you.”

Seeing her again had thrown him, a mix of surprise and happiness he hadn’t expected.

Just as Anthony was about to kiss her, Charlotte put her hand between them, her voice cool. “Still trying to kiss me?”
