Chapter 714
A Life Debt Repaid
Their car soon arrived at Saunders Mansion and Quinn alighted.
Sam stayed inside, looking like he had no intention of moving.
âNot getting out?â Quinn asked.
âNope.â
âNot going in?â
âNope.â
âWhy?â
âWhat do you mean âwhyâ?â Sam asked in return.
Quinn simply stood there, watching him.
He rolled his eyes and growled impatiently, âI was in prison for three years, Quinn Summer. That means three years without action-what do you think I want to do most after getting out?â
âArenât I enough?â Quinn asked.
Sam glowered right then, but she simply continued, demanding, âAre the women out there that much better? Do I sicken you that much? Are my breasts too small or my hips too wide?â
âI donât need anyone whoâs forcing themselves to do something they donât like.â
âDid I ever say I was forcing myself?â
âQuinn Summer!â Sam flew into a rage right then.
His poor temper never changedâand it probably never would, no matter how much time had passed or whatever he went through.
Even after serving his sentence, Sam was still goofing off and not trying to impress himself at all, and he still had that chip on his shoulder.
âI donât need your sympathy,â he growled slowly and clearly. âAlso, for someone like me, having a record or being in prison doesnât matter!â
âIâll admit that I didnât think that Iâd fall for you,â Quinn suddenly said.
Sam simply sneeredâhis feathers would never be ruffled when he expected that.
Even so, Quinn continued, her eyes fixed on him, âYou never gave me a chance to do so either. You push me away whenever I try to get close, and that is never going to help us develop our relationship.â
âAnd did I ever ask for that?â
âWeâre married.â
âI just offered a divorce.â
âAnd I said no,â Quinn said bluntly.
âWhat the hell do you want?!â Same barked right then. âGet your hands off the car-lâm leaving. You have no idea how restless someone gets after they are kept waiting for so long. Hell, I was ready to get some when you called me, and Iâve already been as nice as I can be⦠Umph!â
Samâs eyes widened as he watched Quinn suddenly arch her back, wrapped her arms around his neck and pressed her lips against his.
The faint scent of alcohol swirled between his nostrils, and it was slightly intoxicating.
She was drunk?! Was that why she got the wrong person?
Why else would she kiss him? She had always despised him for being filthy!
But even as he abruptly shoved her off, he seemed to see the restrained emotions in her eyesâ¦
No, he must have imagined itâit was too dark to see anything clearly anyway.
âWhat do you think youâre doing?!â he bellowed in rage and wiped his lips.
âF*ck!â
Her scent was all over him now!
âIs it illegal to kiss my own husband?â Quinn asked in return.
Sam paused right then and stared at her, realizing that she had been completely intoxicated tonight.
He was already surprised when Quinn called him to post her bail at the precinct.
But come to think of it, she did that because she did not want his family- especially Ryan-to see her misbehaving.
In contrast, she did not care about him or what he thought about her.
