Claire Sterling, of course, knew how formidable he was in that department.
In fact, it was because he was so relentless that she disliked doing *that* with him.
Lately, she had finally found an excuse to put him off and not let him touch her.
But today, the man wasn't playing by the rules. He had torn off his gentle, scholarly mask, revealing his savage, ruthless side.
Claire knew it. 'A man who could secure his footing in the Langley family despite a crippled leg was definitely not a good person.'
"Lionel Langley, I don't want to."
Claire knew it was useless to resist, so she stopped struggling. Of course, she didn't respond to him either.
She was accustomed to expressing her displeasure in the calmest way possible.
"If I'm not willing, you won't enjoy it either."
Her attitude was cold, her speech flat and devoid of any emotion.
Consequently, Lionel Langley found it a complete turn-off.
