CHAPTER 813: CHAPTER 813: YOU HURT ME!

Hearing the voice, Marcus Kingsley’s hawk-like eyes cast over, and Seraphina Linden collided with those scarlet eyes filled with passion and desire.

Time froze just like that.

After a few dozen seconds, Seraphina regained her composure, calmly released the door handle, and stepped back, "Sorry, Mr. Rathborne, I’ll go out, you make yourself comfortable."

As she turned and took a couple of steps, she felt steady footsteps from behind, then her slender, white wrist was grabbed, the man hoisted her onto his shoulder and with a few quick strides, threw her directly under the showerhead.

Cold water poured down from above, drenching her thoroughly.

Seraphina raised her head, "Mr. Rathborne, what do you want to do?"

Julian Rathborne looked at her through the misty water, with a "smack", a broad palm supported the white porcelain wall beside her, his tall and strong figure pressed into her, speaking hoarsely with burning emotions, "You."

Seraphina raised an eyebrow, moving her red lips, "Mr. Rathborne, are you serious?"

Julian’s eyes reddened further, like a beast locked on its prey, determined to claim victory, "I was fine in here, why did you barge in, Seraphina Linden, you provoked me first!"

"..."

So, it’s her fault.

The two were now very close, and Seraphina could closely scrutinize his handsome face, many years ago in that room filled with ambiguous tension, she already knew how incomparably handsome he was, flawlessly attractive, a complete mess.

"Mr. Rathborne, we agreed this was just an act, I can flirt with you, but when it comes to sleeping together, I’m not willing." Seraphina tossed out her words, she wasn’t willing.

Julian pressed his thin lips together, he never had the habit of forcing others, even though his body was uncomfortable now, hearing her say "not willing" dissipated a lot of his anger.

But he didn’t release her, instead, he snorted coldly, "Seraphina Linden, who are you staying chaste for?"

Even as he was bathed in the warm glow, his handsome brows carried a coldness.

Seraphina, "What do you mean?"

Julian’s strong body pressed down, both large palms supported either side of her, "What, playing dumb in front of me now, don’t tell me, you haven’t had a man in these years, even if you said it, I wouldn’t believe it, I’m not a three-year-old kid easily fooled!"

"..." Seraphina didn’t know what to say, because the words she wanted to speak, he wasn’t allowing.

Now her deep chestnut curly hair clung wetly to her face, she raised a hand to tuck a strand behind her ear, with a trace of laziness in her charming eyes, "Mr. Rathborne, why do you seem like you’re here... for an affair bust?"

The words "affair bust" provoked him, he sinisterly curled his crimson thin lips, "Tell me, who is that wild man paying you?"

Seraphina just thought, didn’t know what little Pip would have to say if he knew his own grandfather referred to him as a "wild man"?

Why is it always our young Pip bearing it all?

The time she had little Pip transfer over 10.1 billion and one hundred bucks, seems he hasn’t noticed any anomaly yet.

Seraphina arched her willow-like brows, then raised her small head, leaning closer to him.

Their faces suddenly closed in, breaths intertwined.

Julian Rathborne’s tall figure suddenly stiffened, because at such a close distance, he caught her fragrance once more, the fire that had just died down suddenly flared up.

Looking at that bright, charming face before him, Julian’s Adam’s apple moved up and down, then he mocked, "What, seducing me? Don’t think I’ll let you go just for this!"

"Mr. Rathborne, maybe you misunderstood, I’m not seducing you, I just wanted to say, no comment."

"..."

Julian Rathborne’s entire handsome face darkened, a surge of hostility that had been contained in his chest ignited instantly, he reached out, clasping her smooth shoulder with a big hand, applying pressure little by little, gripping her bones, "Seraphina Linden, speak quickly, who is this wild man?"

Seraphina felt like her shoulders’ bones were about to dislocate, "Mr. Rathborne, let go of me, you’re hurting me."

Hearing her coyly cry out in pain, Julian realized he had lost control, shit, this wasn’t a good sign, she was already affecting his mind; every moment with her, he was led by her.

Julian slowly released his grip.

Seraphina stretched her muscles slightly, unhappy, "Mr. Rathborne, what’s the big fuss, what exactly is our relationship, on what grounds are you questioning my privacy like capturing an affair?"

"The only tie between us is Serena, I really don’t understand what you’re angry about, speaking about cuckold, you’ve had other women these years, why is it allowed for you to cheat on me, but not for me on you?"

"Bullshit!" Julian Rathborne couldn’t bear it and swore.

How exactly had he cheated on her?

These years he was clean, living like a monk, always in solitude.

Seraphina was very surprised, she suspected she was hearing things, did this man really swear!

Everyone knew this son of Aethelgard, Julian Rathborne, had noble blood running through his veins, dignified and outstanding.

Seraphina didn’t want to anger him further, after all, the secret techniques of the martial arts world were still on him.

"Alright, Mr. Rathborne, you should take your shower first, I’m heading out." Seraphina wanted to leave.

But Julian blocked her like a wall, unwilling to let her go.

"Mr. Rathborne, could you please move!" Seraphina shifted, trying to push his robust body aside, but inadvertently touched something hard and hot, she paused her movement.

Seraphina looked up at the man’s handsome face, blinking, "Mr. Rathborne, haven’t you been with a woman for a long time? Why so excited?"

"..." Julian Rathborne didn’t speak, instead, he grabbed her hand, slowly guiding it.

Seraphina immediately knew what he wanted, "Julian, you have your own hands!"

Julian’s eyes, blood-red, stared at her, his gaze unpleasant as a beast eyeing its delectable prey, "Stop talking nonsense!"

"Go away, Julian, don’t pressure me..."

Julian’s eyes darkened, he reached out with a big hand to grip her petite chin, then leaned down to kiss her.

Suddenly kissed, Seraphina was momentarily stunned, he kissed intensely, instantly stealing her breath away.

She reasonably suspected he hadn’t been with a woman for long, because he had a physiological reaction as soon as he saw her, even kissing was so uncontrollable.

Soon, he nudged at her teeth.

Seraphina immediately clamped her teeth, unwilling.

Julian hoarsely commanded, "Open your mouth!"

Seraphina shook her head, umm umm umm, expressing protest.

Julian glanced at her, then closed his eyes, leading her hand further down...
