1164 Words
Lucia closed her eyes breathlessly and furrowed her brows. She honestly did not feel well. After getting pushed twice, her stomach was roiling and convulsing.
She forced down nausea and didn't even dare to speak! She was worried that she would throw up if she opened her mouth.
Mason glanced at her coldly. Thinking that she was acting again, he turned away in annoyance, not even wanting to look at her.
The war in the backseat came to a stop. Angus finally found the chance to speak.
"Sir, where to?"
"Home," Mason uttered with thin lips.
Angus nodded. He couldn't help but peer at Lucia from the rearview mirror. So she was Mason's secret wife.
And it seemed that Mason had found his kryptonite. It was Angus's first time seeing him get so angry because of a woman.
The luxurious yet simple black car raced down the road. There weren't many other cars, either because it was about to rain or it was late at night.
The silence in the car was suffocating.
Mason kept a cold b***h face while Lucia kept her brows knitted and eyes closed. When the car turned, her body fell towards Mason from the inertia.
"Lucia!" Mason roared. After holding in his anger for so long, he now pushed Lucia against the seat. His arms held down her shoulders, making her unable to move.
"How slutty are you? You keep leaning towards me to seduce me. Are you that desperate for s*x? Is that why you went out to find other men?!"
Lucia's face had been flushed red from the wine, but it paled instantly at the insulting words that slammed into her heart.
Was this how lowly and shameless she was in Mason's eyes?
She opened her bleary eyes and looked at him sadly without replying.
Mason stared at her from a close distance. When his cold eyes met her hurt eyes, his heart clenched.
From his perspective, Lucia's silence meant she admitted it.
"f**k, you don't even bother to explain!" he muttered. Angry flames seemed to jump out of his eyes. He pressed down harder on her shoulders.
"Ah, ow!" Lucia felt like her shoulders were about to get crushed. She pressed against Mason's sturdy chest by reflex.
"If it hurts, then you should know to stop flirting around as Mrs. Reynolds. You're putting shame on the family!"
Flirting around?
It was another stab into Lucia's heart.
"I didn't. I just came with my friend." Her quavering voice made her seem even more pitiful in the tight space.
Mason stared at her small face, and his eyes landed on her tempting lips. His Adam's apple bobbed when he swallowed. One thought took over his mind: kiss her!
Just as he was in his weakest moment, Lucia wriggled, and her chest rubbed against his. It was like an electric shock that sparked a fire in him.
Mason's eyes darkened. He lowered his head and kissed her.
When their lips met, Lucia's eyes widened and her entire body froze. She didn't dare to move.
Was this real life? Mason was kissing her!
But Mason regretted it the instant he felt her lips. They were softer than he'd imagined, luring him in.
He wanted to stop himself from careening into the darkness, but he was obsessed. He couldn't stop!
Mason couldn't help but wrap his arms around Lucia's slender waist, pressing her against himself.
Lucia's eyes fluttered shut. It was her first kiss with Mason, but she responded to his dominant lead and fell into the moment with him.
The lust in the car's backseat grew stronger and stronger with their passionate kiss.
After who knew how long, when they were about to run out of breath, Mason's lips finally left Lucia's. He met her dazed eyes, and his body shook.
The next moment, he let go and sat as far as possible from her, as if she was a virus!
The heat in his eyes chilled, replaced by frustration and coldness.
He was crazy. He must be crazy to kiss her!
When Lucia felt the weight disappear from her body, she snapped out of her thoughts and glanced toward Mason. Seeing his frustrated expression, she felt a stab in her heart.
Mason had kissed her and then regretted it!
She slowly sat up and rested her head against the back of the seat. Her chest rose up and down with her rapid breathing. Everything she did was mesmerizing.
She closed her eyes to hide her sadness.
But Mason's cold voice suddenly rang out in her ears.
"Stop the car!"
The car screeched to a halt, and Angus parked it on the side of the road.
Lucia looked at Mason in confusion. The next second, Mason leaned over and opened the door on her side.
"Get out!" he ordered, shoving her.
Lucia stumbled before she caught her balance. By the time she processed what had happened, the car had already driven off.
Mason really just abandoned her on the side of the road! They'd been kissing so passionately the first second, and the next, he kicked her out without mercy!
The sweetness was gone. Lucia was seized by a tragic feeling.
Her chest squeezed with anger. Gritting her teeth, she yelled at the car as loudly as she could, "You asshole, Mason! I'll never love you anymore!"
Her vision blurred from the tears as they slid down her cheeks, one drop, two drops…
She couldn't stop crying!
"I must've been blind to fall for someone so horrible…"
Lucia wiped away her tears angrily. Just as she prepared to call a taxi, she realized she'd left her purse and phone at Empire Club.
She didn't even have the money for a taxi now.
Even worse, the sky was darkening, and the wind was growing stronger. No cars drove past her.
She had no choice but to walk along the road and see if she could find a ride.
But her luck was nonexistent. Not only was there no ride, she also got blisters from her shoes, and they stung when she walked.
"That asshole Mason, I swear, I will never, ever love you!"
Angry and tired, she couldn't do anything except yell at Mason behind his back.
Ignoring her hurting feet, she sped up to find shelter before the rain. However, the summer rain didn't care about her situation. It started pouring without warning.
The dark sky loomed over her like a black net, and the rain pelted against her like pebbles. It was freezing and painful!
"Come on, all of you bully me together!" Lucia yelled at the sky. Her tears mixed with the rain, streaming down her face.
On the other hand, Mason got home and rushed to the washroom. He stripped his clothes and stood under the shower, rinsing himself with cold water.
Fuck!
He actually kissed Lucia!
And even worse, he was immersed in the kiss and didn't want to stop!
It was not supposed to happen!
