"I don't need your protection, Wang Lei."
"I know," he replied, opening his eyes slowly just so he could look at the beautiful woman before him once again. "You are a beautiful, strong, and capable woman. But why is it that I feel something different from you?"
Even though their forehead was still against each other's, Yu Yan arched a brow at him, wanting to know what he meant by the latter part.
"Different? How?"
Yu Yan gasped when she felt Wang Lei pull her against him, their bodies no longer having an inch of distance between them.
"You, Yu Yan—" he started, his eyes ablaze with passion. At the same time, he was urging himself not to lose control so that he couldn't scare her. "—I know it's bad to compare but… I have never wanted a woman this much."
"Wh-what?" Yu Yan asked, conscious that the CEO she's working for might feel her heart beating in her chest.
"Yu Yan…"
Wang Lei said her name with fervent longing, his arm snaking around her waist as if wanting to have her.
