But when she saw Mitchel, she couldnât deny that he had a different kind of appeal in her eyes.
âWhatâs the matter, Raegan?â Erick worriedly asked as there was no response from the other end of the line.
Raegan shook herself out of her momentary trance and replied, âItâs nothing.
I just wanted to let you know Iâm heading back.
You donât need to come pick me up.
â
âAlright.
Be safe.
Text me when you get home.
â
âI will,â Raegan assured him.
After ending the call, she got into her car and instructed the driver, âPlease take me to⦠Ah!â
A sudden, powerful jolt rocked her.
Before she knew it, Raegan was yanked out of her car and found herself falling into Mitchelâs embrace.
âHey!â the driver exclaimed in alarm.
He tried to intervene and help Raegan.
But seeing the imposing figure before him, fear silenced him.
Matteo witnessed the scene from another car and quickly approached, explaining the situation to the driver and leaving his business card before sending the driver away.
Meanwhile, Mitchel acted brusquely and dragged Raegan out of the car.
Then, he picked her up and settled her onto the seat of his car.
Mitchelâs grip on Raeganâs arm was so tight it felt like he might tear her apart.
Unable to overpower him, Raegan thought of a way to defend herself and retaliated by kicking him.
âAre you out of your mind? This is kidnappingâ¦â
Before Raegan could finish her sentence, Mitchel seized her ankle and pulled her forward.
He then forced her knees against his chest and, in an abrupt and unexpected move, ki*sed her passionately.
He moved so fast that Raegan had no chance to react.
âYou.
You⦠Hmm.
âHer protests were silenced by the intensity of the ki*s.
Mitchel pressed her down onto the seat.
His large hand gripped her jaw firmly, controlling her lips and teeth so she wouldnât be able to bite him.
Meanwhile, Raegan fought back with every ounce of strength and tried to push Mitchel away.
However, he was an unyielding force.
He pinned her down like a mountain, leaving her gasping for breath.
In her desperation, Raegan resorted to pinching Mitchel with her sharp nails, which made him bleed.
But Mitchel seemed impervious to the pain.
He maintained his unrelenting hold on her slender form and refused to let her go.
Oddly, Raegan noticed that his body was trembling.
After their violent ki*s, Mitchel lowered his head to her neck, and his lips trailed a path of ki*ses across her delicate skin.
Then, she heard him murmur, âRaegan, youâre finally backâ¦â
His words left Raegan gasping, overwhelmed by a strong sense of familiarity.
As he continued to ki*s her neck with fervor, she even felt the wetness of Mitchelâs tears against her skin.
