Elias Hawthorne wanted to get angry, but he had to control himself and suppress his emotions everywhere. He was afraid that the beast inside him would hurt Raina. If Raina stayed by his side, the suppression might gradually fade with time. But, the Celestial Alliance had an incident, and Raina North went to handle it. She was gone for a week. Elias Hawthorne’s emotions finally spiraled out of control. New ɴᴏᴠᴇʟ ᴄhapters are published on Nov3lFɪre.ɴet The beast had been rampant for too long, and even he couldn’t perfectly cage it in a short time. He was always worried that his loss of control would harm Raina North. Therefore, it was the best choice for Raina to stay away from him at that time. However, no matter how clearly he understood this, his heart was still filled with great loss. Just then, a soft, fragrant body snuggled into his embrace, slender arms wrapped around his neck, and with a scent of red lips, the tender lips pressed against his thin lips. Elias Hawthorne’s actions froze instantly, his handsome face showing an indescribable expression, his tall body as stiff as a stone, and even his breathing stopped. After a while, Raina North finally moved her tender lips away. She raised her eyelids, and her almond eyes were shimmering. Her cheeks were rosy, and her smiling eyes spoke of endless temptation: "So, how about this? Isn’t it well-behaved now?" "Raina, you just got back and had some drinks; you should rest well." Elias used all his self-control to look away. "Mm, isn’t this resting?" Raina North cupped the man’s handsome face in her hands, forcing him to face her: "Look at me. It’s basic courtesy to look at someone calmly when talking." Hearing Raina North’s words, Elias Hawthorne wanted to say that he might never be able to follow such courtesy in this lifetime, because Raina was just too enticing. Raina had just come out of the shower, wearing a bathrobe. After her earlier action, the bathrobe was quite loose, held up only by her fullness, making the view even clearer, a captivating sight that made one want to risk everything for it. Elias Hawthorne’s eyes instantly darkened, with a fire seemingly igniting in the depths of his deep black eyes, his Adam’s apple moved uncomfortably, and his tone was cold: "Raina, do you know what you are doing?" "I know." Raina went to peck the man’s Adam’s apple, but found it unsatisfying and decided to bite it, then she heard Elias Hawthorne’s uncontrollable gasp. Raina smiled even more cheerfully, then stood on tiptoe, leaned to the man’s ear, and whispered: "I’m playing with fire." "Raina North!" Elias Hawthorne couldn’t help but growl softly. "Mm. I’m here." Raina suddenly noticed Elias Hawthorne’s ears were quite attractive, especially his earlobes, beautifully shaped and full. She raised her hand to touch them and saw goosebumps form behind the man’s ears. Raina was very surprised: "Elias Hawthorne, you’re so sensitive." Saying so, Raina felt more enthused, as if she had found an interesting toy. Elias Hawthorne couldn’t help but grab Raina’s hand and ordered: "Stop messing around!" "Okay, I won’t mess around." Raina said, then opened her mouth to suck on Elias Hawthorne’s earlobe. "Raina North!" Elias Hawthorne roared softly, feeling as if he were a volcano ready to erupt at any moment. "Why are you shouting?" Raina was also unhappy, complaining: "Didn’t I obediently stop messing, only teasing you?" Elias Hawthorne: "..." "What’s the matter? Is it not allowed?" Raina glared angrily at Elias Hawthorne, her expression full of dissatisfaction. She had been busy outside for an entire week! During that week, she was either in meetings handling those trivial matters, fighting, or on her way to fight.
