Chapter 1324: Chapter 1327

Mitchel, undeterred by her squirming, responded, “It’s part of the dance of dating.

ki*ses, hugs, and what follows…” His stare was piercing, leaving no room for doubt about his intentions.

Raegan’s cheeks burned even hotter under his scrutinizing look.

She countered, “That’s not right! It should start with holding hands, then hugging, and ki*sing comes last, doesn’t it?”

“No problem at all,” Mitchel conceded with ease.

“We’ll go at your pace.

”

Raegan was speechless, her eyes widened.

“I didn’t agree to date you!” she managed to say, her mind racing.

Mitchel was cunning, adept at laying snares.

“I’ve already received your brother’s blessing.

” Mitchel gazed at her intently, his eyes conveying a message.

Erick’s consent for Raegan’s visit was, in essence, a silent approval.

Raegan, feeling cornered, retorted, “If my brother has given his blessing, maybe you should be courting him!”

Mitchel’s expression hardened, his grip tightening on the back of her neck as he drew her closer, his voice laced with a hint of menace.

“You’re the one I desire!” The raw desire in his eyes was unmistakable, making Raegan shiver slightly.

I… Not sharing a bed…”

“So, hugs and ki*ses are permissible?” Mitchel raised his eyebrow, a hint of amusement in his voice as he noted.

Raegan was astounded by his ability to warp her words, her frustration boiling over.

“None of that is okay!”

With a look that seemed to delve into her soul, Mitchel softly challenged, “Consider our current proximity and then reconsider your words, okay?”

Looking down, Raegan realized the compromising nature of their closeness, her position on his lap underscoring the intimacy they shared.

Their bodies were closely aligned, generating a noticeable warmth.

Worse, he refused to let her go.

With a softer tone, Raegan voiced her frustration, “You’re way too controlling.

”

“I’ll heed your wishes from this point forward,” Mitchel promised.

Raegan harbored doubts about his assurance.

True to form, he soon added, his voice raspy, “I’ll give you a heads-up before I ki*s you.

”

Finding herself at a loss for words, Raegan chose silence over continued debate.

Experience had taught her that arguing with him was an exercise in futility.

“Are you upset with me again?” Mitchel inquired, noting her stoic expression.

He attempted to lighten the mood, “I’m only teasing.

”

In reality, Raegan’s frustration wasn’t directed at him but at herself.

The turmoil within her was hers alone to understand.

Her feelings were gradually evolving, a change that filled her with unease.

Mitchel, interpreting her silence as her refusal to his advances, tentatively asked, ““Raegan, surely I’m not so disagreeable that you can’t stand me, am I?”
