Chapter 832
Halsey’s skin was smooth and radiant , impossible to resist . Shaun alld one hand up her dress while the other tugged at his belt , his voice low and rough
“ You wanted to thank me , right ? Well , this is how I want it . What do you say ? ”
Halsey struggled against him . “ No ! I don’t want this ! ”
“ You’re unbelievable . Just once , and we’re even , ” Shaun sneered .
Halsey felt like she was losing her mind . Shaun already had a girlfriend , so why was he still doing this to her ? She didn’t want to be with him like this .
“ No ! I said no ! Can’t you hear me ? Let go ! You’re hurting me … It hurts … It really hurts … ”
Her cries of pain made Shaun’s heart twist and tingle .
He leaned down to kiss her , whispering , “ Be quier
”
Halsey’s hands dug into his arm , scratching through his suit fabric until they drew blood .
Shaun buried his face in her neck . In the darkness , everything felt chaotic . He greedily breathed in the sweet , soft scent of her skin , kissing her earlobe .
“ Haven’t you been with a man the past few years ? You’re acting like the first time we did this … ”
She was driving him crazy , like the first time .
Halsey dared not move . Any movement sent pain shooting through her . She clenched her fists and pounded him . “ Get off me ! Please ! Why are you doing this to me ? ”
Shaun’s voice was hoarse , ragged with longing . Since they parted at that private club , he hadn’t stopped thinking about her . He had spent countless nights awake , unable to sleep .
He had his assistant track her down and found out she was dining at this restaurant , so he came .
What he saw tore at him – her laughing and chatting with Calvin , clearly on a date .
Every night he suffered alone with his yearning , and here she was with another man . He couldn’t stand it anymore .
Why could she be with other men , but not him ?
He wanted her , too .
He wanted her so badly .
Shaun pressed down on her , his throat moving as he spoke . “ Are you going to see Calvin again ? What did you just text him ? Did he crack a joke ? You looked so happy . ”
Halsey shook her head . “ I didn’t ! I didn’t send him anything ! ”
“ You liar , ” Shaun growled softly , trying to pull up .
Halsey wrapped her arms around his neck , holding him back . “ No. It really hurts … ”
Just then , a chime echoed in the quiet room . Halsey’s phone , left on the bed , lit up with a new text .
Shaun’s eyes sharpened . “ Calvin sent you a message ! ”
Halsey shook her head again . “ I told you , I didn’t text him ! I was texting Maddy . ”
Shaun looked up , catching sight of her glowing phone . The message was indeed from Madeline . Her words appeared on the
screen .

[ Love you ! ]
Shaun froze .
Halsey met his gaze . “ My mom and I came here for lunch today , and we ran into Calvin at the entrance . Everyone in this circle grew up together , so I just chatted with him a little . Then you came in . That’s it . If there’s anything else you want to know , I’ll tell you . ”
So it wasn’t what he had thought . He had misunderstood her .
“ I’m sorry … ” Shaun whispered .
Halsey pushed him away . “ Go away ! Let me go ! ”
Shaun bent down and kissed her red lips . Her explanation didn’t cool the fire in his eyes ; it only fanned the flames higher .
He lowered his head again . “ Please … I want you . ”
