"What did you do?"My voice broke with disbelief."You seriously don't know what you did?You ignored me‚ Ryan!Three fucking days you left me on read‚ and then when I finally saw you again‚ you were on a date with Sophie.Sophie!Your betrothed.So yeah‚ go to her and leave me the hell alone!"

His jaw clenched tight‚ his eyes flickering with something dark before he exhaled hard."So that's why you've been avoiding me?Because I left you on read?"He shook his head quickly‚ almost as if he couldn't believe what I'd just said‚ and then his tone shifted‚ softening in a way that was quite enough to make my knees weak."Anna… I wasn't ignoring you.I swear‚ I wasn't.I was on a business trip‚ a really packed one.I barely had time to breathe‚ let alone touch my phone.I didn't even realize until later that my iMessage wasn't coming through.My phone got lost.I had no way to reach you."

I froze for a second‚ staring at him‚ trying to read if he was lying‚ but then he reached into his pocket and pulled out a brand-new phone‚ an iPhone 17 Pro Max‚ as if he was making his point."I would never leave you hanging on purpose.Never."

The phone looked real enough.And his tone‚ God‚ his tone was so genuine that it made my chest ache.But I wasn't done‚ not yet.

"Then what about Sophie?"I demanded‚ my voice sharp."Why did you go on a date with her?"

His jaw ticked again‚ and he let out a bitter laugh that wasn't funny at all."That wasn't a date.She told me her dad wanted to meet with me‚ and I thought it was the right time to end things once and for all.I didn't know it was a setup.a trick.And then you saw me there‚ and you were pissed‚ and I get it‚ I swear I get it‚ but it wasn't what you thought‚ Anna.Not even close."

My lips parted‚ but before I could say anything‚ he reached for my waist‚ pulling me closer‚ and his mouth brushed mine so softly it nearly undid me."I missed you‚" he whispered‚ his breath warm against my lips."I would never ignore you.Especially not now you have my mark."

His mouth dropped lower‚ pressing soft‚ slow kisses against my collarbone‚ right where his mark was still burning on my skin."So fucking beautiful.It looks so good on you."

I shivered‚ my body betraying me as a little giggle slipped out.

"Stop‚ Ryan‚" I muttered‚ trying to push him back‚ but I was smiling despite myself.

He giggled too‚ the sound was so boyish‚ so unlike the heavy tension in the room.

"God‚ I love your giggles‚" he said against my skin‚ and then his mouth was on mine‚ kissing me deeply‚ hungrily‚ as if he had been starved for me these past days.His hands held me firm‚ like he was afraid I'd disappear if he let go."I missed you so much‚" he murmured between kisses."You don't even know.I couldn't get you out of my head while I was in those meetings.You were all over me."

I let him kiss me‚ let him pour his desperation into me‚ but I pushed gently against his chest‚ breathless."Not here‚ Ryan.This is the men's room."

His lips lingered over mine‚ his voice husky‚ low‚ as if he was almost begging."Just a little quickie‚" he whispered."Please‚ Anna.I've missed you so fucking much.I'll be so fast‚ I swear."

CHAPTER 155

Anna's POV

He didn't even give me time to speak.

His mouth just crashed into mine before I could say anything‚ and fuck‚ the way he kissed me‚ like he was starving‚ like it physically hurt him not to be touching me.His hands were already under my gown‚ lifting it up with urgency‚ and I could hear how breathless he was as he whispered against my lips‚ "This gown… god‚ Anna‚ you look so fucking good in it.I swear‚ I haven't been able to stop staring at you since the second I saw you."

Before I could even breathe out a reply‚ his fingers hooked into my panties and yanked them down so fast that they slid to one leg and just dangled there uselessly.I felt the rush of air against my bare skin‚ making my body shiver‚ and then I heard the sharp clink of his belt as he tugged it off with so much impatience.I didn't just stand there; I reached for him‚ fumbling with his trousers‚ helping him shove them down along with his briefs until his cock sprang free‚ hard and thick and already leaking.

My hand wrapped around him instantly‚ like I couldn't stop myself‚ and I gave him a slow stroke before spitting in my palm and rubbing it over his shaft.His breath hitched hard as his cock twitched in my hand‚ growing impossibly harder under my touch.

"Fuck‚ Anna‚" he cursed‚ his voice breaking in that raw way that made me ache everywhere."You'll be the death of me."

I didn't get a chance to tease him because in the next second he lifted me clean off the ground‚ forcing my legs to wrap around his waist as he pressed me against the wall.My panties were still hanging from one ankle‚ and his cock pressed hot and thick against my entrance before sliding into me with one brutal thrust that knocked the air right out of my chest.

"Ah—fuck!"I moaned‚ clinging to his neck as he buried himself so deep inside me I thought I'd break.

His hand was braced on the wall beside my head‚ supporting us‚ while the other one was all over my chest‚ yanking one breast out through the neckline of my dress and rubbing it roughly.

"Fuck—fuck—you feel so good‚" he groaned‚ breath warm against my neck."I can't—I fucking can't live without you‚ Anna.I swear‚ you're everything to me."

I moaned loudly‚ my head falling back as he drove into me‚ over and over‚ like he couldn't get deep enough."Yes—fuck—harder‚ Ryan.Don't stop.Please‚ don't stop."

"You're mine‚" he growled."All fucking mine.I don't care what anyone says.I'm not sharing you with anybody.You hear me?"

"Yes‚ Ryan—yes!"I cried out‚ my voice shaking as he hit a spot that made my knees go weak even while I was hanging on him.

"You're so fucking beautiful like this‚" he whispered harshly."Fucked out‚ desperate‚ moaning my name like you need me to breathe.And you do‚ don't you?"

"Yes!Fuck—I need you‚ Ryan—I need you so much‚" I gasped‚ clinging to him.
