A Life Debt Repaid
However, John slept for a while.
When Cordy turned to look at the clock on the wall, she saw that it was already past midnight-if he kept sleeping, she wouldnât be getting up in time for work.
Saving her documents, she shut her laptop and walked towards him, calling out, âWake up, John.â
His brow furrowed, and he appeared a little agitated.
âItâs very late. You need to go to bed right now-oh!â
Cordy yelped as she ended up beneath John in a split second, and was pressed into the couch.
Before she could react, his warm lips were pressing firmly against hersâ¦
âUmph!
Cordy fought back, but he was too strong for her; he held her so firmly, she couldnât breathe.
She had the feeling if he kept this up, he would smother her completely.
Narrowing her eyes right then, she bit John on the lip; the taste of blood immediately swirled between their jaws.
John seemed to come to his senses, and finally saw Cordyâs dainty figure beneath him; her face was flushed in anger as she glared at him.
âYouâre finally awake. Now get offâumph!â
He kissed her again, but his savagery turned into tenderness in almost a split second.
Cordy felt as if it was a completely different manâ¦and almost spaced out.
The next second, she wiggled as hard as she could to free herself from him.
He eventually released her, and was left staring at her look of disdain as she growled his name through clenched teeth!
âJohn!â
She was clearly furious; yet for some reason, John was laughing. He was even looking at the blood on his lips.
Cordy simply turned away-that pretty face wouldnât work on her ever again.
âSorry,â John apologized. Whenever he did, however, Cordy knew it was just lip service.
âGet off me,â she growled coolly.
He got off her soft body.
While he was asleep just now, he had a nightmare-Cordy was getting further and further awayâ¦
The despair left him losing control the instant he woke up, and he still felt lingering fear as he remembered it.
Still, he quietly hid his feelings while Cordy urged him, âItâs time you leave.â
âWhereâs my pasta?â he asked.
âItâs paste now. Or would you eat it anyway?â Cordy shot at him.
Unable to come up with anything, he was forced to leave.
Cordy followed, and slammed the door shut in his face before he could say a single word.
She really, really didnât want to see him at all.
Johnâs eyes narrowed-it seemed he must hurry things along!
