Chapter 859: Compromised
Once they stepped outside, she wasted no time steering him toward her car— parked conveniently close to the back entrance. If this girl had not been introduced to him by Cai, he would have thought that this was some kind of a kidnapping attempt. However, he let her take him away for some reason that he could not name.
Her hand lingered lightly on his arm as they walked, her pace steady but purposeful. Just as they neared the car, she leaned closer, her voice dropping to a sultry whisper that sent a jolt down his spine.
"Push me against the car like you can’t keep your hands to yourself," she murmured, her breath brushing his ear. "Then get into the car."

When they reached the car, he didn’t hesitate. His hands found her waist with ease, pulling her firmly against him before spinning her and pushing her against the car.
The world around them seemed to blur as his lips captured hers with a mixture of fervor and restraint that belied his growing attraction. The kiss was electric, a collision of heat and urgency, and he could feel her smile against his lips, as if she’d expected nothing less. for a moment she kissed him back but then the car was unlocked with a sharp click as she pressed a button on her key fob without breaking the kiss.
When she finally pulled away, she stepped to the side and opened the passenger door, gesturing for him to get in.
"Arabelle—"
"Rafe, get in the damn car," she interrupted, her eyes locked onto his with an intensity that silenced him. "Now."
