To Love a Shadow To Be the Sun novel Chapter 352

Unable to bear their scrutinizing stares, Elara stepped inside.

A strange, heavy atmosphere filled the car on the way down. No one said a word. The moment the doors opened, Elara rushed out and hurried toward her car, where Summer was waiting.

Just as she reached it, however, a Lincoln pulled up right behind her.

"I'll take you home," Zane said.

"I have my own car."

The words had barely left her mouth when she heard the click of her car's central locks.

"Well… she *could* be without a car."

With that, Summer floored it, peeling out of the parking garage.

Zane burst out laughing. "Now that's a good friend to have."

Elara sighed, resigned, and got into Zane's car.

The moment they were inside her apartment, Zane pulled her into his arms, his mouth finding hers in a hungry kiss. Their passion quickly spilled onto the sofa, where he pinned her beneath him, leaving her no room to move.

His kisses were a feverish, relentless assault, powerful and demanding, as if he intended to devour her whole. Her body went limp, her mind clouded with desire. Just as his hand slipped under the hem of her dress to caress her waist, a sliver of clarity returned. She pushed him away, turning her head to avoid his lips.

"What's wrong?" Zane asked, sensing her sudden resistance.

"Your trip to Capital City… how did it go?"

Zane's eyes flickered. He knew what she was really asking. He pressed a soft kiss to the corner of her mouth. "In a situation like this, every step forward is progress."

She could tell he was facing significant opposition.
