Secrets Of The Neglected Wife: When Her True Colors Shine

Chapter 280: Compared to the domineering, confrontational kisses from before, this one felt like a whirlwindwild and untamed.

Allison found herself momentarily dazed, caught off guard by the unexpected turn of events.

She had always been the one in control, wearing the crown of command, but here she wason the receiving end of a kiss that wielded power like a double-edged sword.

Her back pressed firmly against the wall, and she felt trapped, as if the world outside had vanished.

Despite the chill of the wall against her skin, a warmth began to seep through her, igniting a fire within.

Kellans hand cradled the back of her head, while the other supported her waist, which slowly began to slide downward, as if gravity itself were conspiring against her.

Their heated breaths mingled in the air, creating an intoxicating atmosphere of shared desire.

Allison could feel the pressure of his legs against her knees, an unexpected point of leverage, creating a precarious balance between submission and defiance.

But she was no stranger to the gof dominance; she refused to be subdued.

Though the kiss was undeniably intoxicating, Allison couldnt help but bite down on his lip with fierce resolve. The metallic taste of blood flooded their mouths, a stark reminder of the raw intensity of the moment. Kellan, have you lost your mind? she exclaimed, bewildered by the sudden surge of passion that had overtaken him.

Yet, upon hearing her words, Kellan let out a low, self-deprecating laugh that echoed in the stillness.

Rather than being a madman, Im more terrified of being pushed away by you.

He was the CEO of Charisma Company, the heir to the Lloyd Group, a man whose reputation loomed large in both the legitimate and underground worlds.

Yet, in this moment, he stood at the mercy of Allisons judgment.

Allison was at a loss for words.

It was clear that Kellan had overstepped his bounds, but she felt like a callous woman for even considering abandoning him in his vulnerability.

This kiss marked a turning point in their relationship.

What had once been playful sparring had transformed into something deeperan unsettling complexity that left them both uncertain.

Allison lifted her gaze, her voice icy as she replied, I dont understand what you mean, Mr.

Lloyd.

If Kellan truly intended to pursue something more, she had an arsenal of tactics to make him regret crossing her. Sorry... Kellans voice cout hoarse, dripping with self-mockery.

Slowly, he released her, the fiery hue in his eyes dimming, replaced by an aura of restraint and control.

Ms.

Clarke, just entertain the thought that I might be crazy for a moment.

His lips still bore the remnants of their passionate encounter, stained with blood, and the veins in his hand stood out, giving his demeanor an intimidating edge.

A flicker of fear darted through Allison.

Even Kellan himself couldnt understand why, despite his disbelief in true love, he frequently lost control around her.

Ultimately, the thought of being distanced from her was unbearable, to the point where they could hardly be considered friends anymore.

I just want to know if you truly findunapproachable.

Kellan wiped the blood from his lips with his fingertip, his expression shifting to one of longing.

When he met her gaze, his usual restraint melted, making him seem incredibly alluring.

His words carried weight, revealing his intentions.

Allisons brow furrowed slightly at his question.

Unapproachable? The memory of their kiss flashed through her mind, vivid and difficult to forget.

Even a kiss tainted with blood lingered in her thoughts.

Truth be told, in bed, Kellan was more than just wealthy.

His impressive stamina made him quite the satisfactory partner.

However, from the outset, Allison had seen Kellan as a means to an endsomeone to get closer to Lorna and Kinslee, to extract the information she sought.

Logically, she should have felt satisfied by this revelation; it meant Kellan had indeed taken the bait.

But instead, a tumult of emotions swirled within her.

Not unapproachable, she finally replied, her voice resonating with honesty, but that doesnt mean you ve. can just do this... Even when she discovered Kellans secret in that forbidden room, she had never felt disgust. On the contrary, she found the contrast within him all the more enticing.

Allison continued, offering him an out, Lets pretend today never happened.

Well remain partners, and once Kinslees Alzheimers treatment is complete... Kellan could already predict her next words.

It would all amount to nothing more than a farewell.

Ironically, he had once vowed never to fall for any woman, yet here was Allison, the exception to the rule.

Perhaps it was the moment they met that awakened a long-buried om familiarity in Keffan, suggesting he was destined to fall for her. Allison, he finally said her name, and for the first time, it felt like something more than a mere address.

Gravity seemed to pull her toward him.

His tall figure, mostly swallowed by shadows, was framed by the soft tousle of his short hair, stirred by a gentle breeze. In that silent space, their breaths and heartbeats intertwined, creating a connection that felt almost tangible.

I want to know how to pursue you.
