Chapter 241 Do You Want to Be My Girlfriend?
The softness of Brady's lips carried a faint trace of tobacco, a lingering taste that was both familiar and unexpected. His kiss was gentle, a stark contrast to their previous encounters, leaving Violet momentarily lost in the sensation.
It wasn't until the tip of his tongue sought entrance that she snapped back to reality. Recoiling in shock, she pushed Brady away, her cheeks flushing a deep crimson and her eyes widening in surprise.
In an attempt to regain her composure, she hastily wiped her lips and admonished, "Mr. Hall, please show some respect."
Brady, far from being perturbed by her rejection, regarded her with a leisurely air. "How was that disrespectful?" he queried.
His time was a precious commodity, often consumed by the demands of a new project at his company. The only reason he had made time for this encounter was Violet's clandestine meeting with another man.
"Your actions were disrespectful," Violet retorted, barely suppressing her anger as she glared at the shameless man before her. She couldn't help but think that if he had an ounce of decency, he wouldn't have acted so brazenly.
"Mr. Hall, I urge you to consider your dignity. I am not a woman to be trifled with. If you cross the line again, I won't hesitate to involve the authorities."
"The police?" Brady's smile held a hint of amusement. "I merely expressed my interest and stole a kiss. That's a common occurrence, isn't it?"
Violet's anger flared at his audacity. "Mr. Hall, your actions were inappropriate. You didn't have my consent. If there's nothing else, I'll be leaving."
With that, she rose from her seat.Brady's response was swift. He reached out, pulling Violet into his arms with a warmth that belied his earlier actions. "Violet, seriously, consider my proposition. I assure you, I won't treat you poorly."
"Mr. Hall, I've made myself clear. I decline." Violet found herself trapped in his firm embrace, unable to break free.
In frustration, she reached out to scratch his handsome face, but Brady was quicker, catching her small hand and rubbing it gently in his warm palm.
His voice deepened as he chided, "You're a feisty little thing, aren't you? So demure and soft-spoken, until you decide to bare your claws." Despite her struggles, Violet found herself immobilized by his strength.
With no other option, Violet bit her lip and softened her tone. "Mr. Hall, could you please release me?"
"Are you ready to talk now?" Brady's gaze was intense as he studied the woman in his arms, a strange feeling stirring within him.
He found her intriguing, far more so than any woman he had encountered before. He realized he was growing patient with her, a stark contrast to his usual pursuits. Women typically succumbed to his charms within a week, but Violet was proving to be a unique challenge.
She was intoxicating, an addiction he couldn't shake. Even the smallest taste left him craving more.
"Mr. Hall, may I ask you to let me go now?"
Violet allowed Brady to hold her, biting her lip in a deliberate show of submission. She knew that any resistance would only make him hold on tighter."Perhaps later," Brady replied, well aware of her tactics. He had no intention of letting her go easily.
Violet was at a loss for what to do next.
"Mr. Hall," she began, opting for a softer approach as she lowered her voice.
"I was serious, Violet," Brady interrupted, his expression solemn. "Will you be my girlfriend?"
Violet was taken aback, certain she had misheard him. After a moment of stunned silence, she finally found her voice. "Mr. Hall, aren't you simply looking for a bedmate? We have a contract, remember?"
