Chapter 679 You Are Mine Today

Day Seventy-Three...

~~*****~~

Jane continued teasing him. Her hands were deliberately exploring his body while Nathan tried to fight the urge to respond to her.

"Nate," she called his name in a whisper. "Don't be upset. I requested Tatsumi to go abroad and capture Veronica. I can't allow her to harm my sister. I must punish her myself. I didn't trouble you on this matter because I know you already have a lot on your plate."

She tightened her grip on his body as she nudged her nose on the nook of Nathan's neck, sniffing his fresh and masculine scent. Nathan's body stiffened and his temperature rose when her soft lips touched the sensitive part of his neck.

'Damn. She is teasing me further,' Nathan clenched his fists as he slammed his eyes shut, gritting his teeth. It was so hard to ignore her presence. Their closeness and Jane's scent were affecting all his senses.

'What a temptress,' Nathan complained inwardly, trying to calm himself down. He took a deep breath before opening his eyes once more.

"Do you trust him more than me?" Nathan questioned her, maintaining his cold front. He shouldn't be carried away by Jane's attempt to appease him through intimate contact. He should preserve his pride and ego.

Jane raised her eyebrow. She could feel Nathan's stubbornness. He didn't want to give in.

"Why? Do you want me to send you abroad to catch Veronica? Do you want to be away from me? Aren't you glad that I requested Tatsumi to go there and search for Veronica, instead of you?" Jane pinched Nathan's waist as she bit his shoulder.

A surprise groan escaped Nathan's lips as he didn't expect Jane to bite his shoulder so hard.

"Hey, are you a vampire?" Nathan swiftly turned around to face Jane, his hand rubbing the spot where Jane had bitten him.

Jane just let out a soft giggle and cupped Nathan's face. Without saying a word, she tiptoed and kissed Nathan on his lips.

Jane heaved a deep sigh. She needed to get his approval before taking action. She pouted her lips and rested her forehead against his forehead.

"Please, Nate. Let me do this. Trust me. Don't you want to get revenge against Monica? She deceived you. She played with your feelings. It's the time we can get even with them." Jane tried to convince Nathan.

"But you're my woman now. I can't bear to see you with another guy... especially if that person is Vincent," Nathan's declaration hung in the air, his voice carrying a sense of possessiveness and protectiveness.

Jane's heart skipped a beat because of Nathan's last remarks. He claimed her as his woman. She felt flattered and deeply moved by his sincere words.

Unable to control her feelings, Jane's instinct took over. In an impulsive and passionate moment, she reached for Nathan, her fingers entwining in his hair as she pulled him closer and crushed her lips against his. Their lips met in a heated kiss, a fusion of desire.

The kiss lingered for a long moment. Jane deepened the kiss as she ground her hips against his. Nathan moaned inside his mouth when he felt the friction between his crotch and Jane's lower part. He embraced her tightly, his tongue exploring her mouth.

A few minutes later, the two pulled away, breathless. Jane and Nathan exchanged a lingering gaze as they tried to normalize their breathing.

"I promise... I'll never get intimate with Vincent... and I won't kiss him. I'll keep enough distance from him." Jane cupped his face and continued in her pleading tone, "Just let me do this... Love."

Nathan let out a sigh of defeat. "I am still against this. But I will trust you on this. Just promise me one thing... If I say you should stop... you have to stop. No more negotiations! Understand?"

Jane's eyes sparkled in delight when she heard that. She gave him another peck on his lips and said, "I promise!"

Nathan could only watch her helplessly. He was uncomfortable with her plan but he chose to trust Jane. Jane was about to stand up when Nathan pulled her again and trapped her in his arms. "Where do you think you are going?" Nathan asked, lifting his eyebrow.

Jane blinked her eyes and smiled sheepishly. She could feel Nathan's erection underneath her. But she decided to feign ignorance. "I'm going to teach Monica a lesson. I have to–Aah."

Before she could complete her sentence, Nathan pushed her down on the sofa, trapping her between the cushion and his body.

"You can't leave. You are mine today."
