Chapter 403

The light and shadows danced on the two figures who were entangled. Lauren's tiny frame trembled

in his arms.

She did nothing at all, but her innocence was a deadly attraction for Landon, who had breached the

first base.

Under the influence of the alcohol, he went all out. Lauren watched a flash across her eyes before

feeling the weight of a man on her.

Her body sank deeper into the couch, turning her into an imprisoned bird.

Landon started breathing laboriously, but he continued kissing her aggressively and toying with her

lips.

At that moment, the female singer on the stage sang in a low and sultry voice,

"I've been watchin’ you for some time

Can't stop starin’ at those ocean eyes

Burning cities and napalm skies

Fifteen flares inside those ocean eyes

Your ocean eyes ..."

Lauren was dizzy from all the kissing, and her eyes were glossy.

"Mmph ..." She struggled to breathe, then started twisting and turning underneath him.

His eyes were burning from a new wave of desire she had just triggered, like a famished beast.

Despite being drunk, he held on to his last inch of conscience, noting that Lauren was his best

friend's sister.

He not only had to refrain from touching Jasper's wife but also had to keep his distance from

Jasper’s sister.

Before he lost control, he reluctantly removed himself from Lauren. A strand of saliva lingered

between their parted lips.

"You ... You ..." Lauren's eyes were in a daze. Intoxicated from the kiss, she was unable to think

straight or speak.

"Just wanted to test your claim from before.” Landon narrowed his eyes and wiped away the saliva

on the corner of her lips. "Are you seeing my true colors now?"

"You bullied me ... You ..."

"So, have we proven your other statement? Do you think I'm made of water or something else?"

Suddenly, a wave of drowsiness washed over Lauren, and she struggled to keep her eyes open

He kissed her on the forehead and coaxed her, "Go to sleep. Tell me your answers tomorrow."

Lauren, who had been animated a few minutes earlier, surprisingly drifted off to sleep. As she dozed

off, she heard the faint, enchanting voice of a songstress singing.

"I've never fallen from quite this high

Fallin' into your ocean eyes

Those ocean eyes ..."

Zoe busted open the door to the lounge with a loud bang. Landon's half-dressed friends paled at

the interruption as the escorts squealed and hid in the men's arms.

"Who the hell are you?" demanded one of the men, pointing a finger at Zoe. Landon had protected

her well by keeping her identity under wraps, and her departure for Yoarkley at a young age meant

that not many in Solana City recognized her.

Zoe, who was already incensed, was further enraged by the question. Without a word, she grabbed

an empty wine bottle from the table and swung it at the man's head.

The bottle shattered with a crash, eliciting screams from the women and leaving the men gaping at

Zoe.

"Son of a bitch!" Zoe's eyes were spitting fire. She looked like she was ready to take on anyone.

"And where are you from, you crazy bitch?” The other two guys rose to their feet and spoke out for

their poor friend

"Wow, things are certainly heating up in here! What are you doing to my sister?” Landon emerged

lazily from the balcony, lifting a soundly asleep Lauren in his arms.
