Chapter 48:
Feeling his gaze, Jenessa’s embarrassment deepened.
Defiantly, she asserted, “Yes, I can do it on my own; I have the strength p>
She reached for the shampoo on the shelf, but her hand trembled, and the bottle clattered to the floor.
The swift embarrassment turned Jenessa’s cheeks a vivid red.
Yet now, her blush seemed to render her even more enchanting.
Ryan’s gaze deepened as he observed her, his Adam’s apple shifting slowly.
“Stop being stubborn. You know I’ve helped you bathe before,” his deep, husky voice echoed, sending shivers down her spine.
Memories from their past flooded back to her.
After their intense encounters, Jenessa often lost consciousness from the overwhelming passion, only to occasionally wake and find Ryan gently washing her in the bathtub.
Sometimes, catching her conscious, he would tease her playfully.
Embarrassed, she would squirm, their skin brushing together in the soothing water, which sometimes led to more fervent moments.
Remembering these times, her blush deepened, and her lips appeared even more inviting.
Seeing her reaction, Ryan felt a wave of desire wash over him.
He leaned in impulsively and kissed her.

Their lips met softly at first, but Ryan’s breath soon grew heavier, and he sought to deepen their connection.
Jenessa’s eyes widened, surprised by his sudden move.
Since Maisie had come back, Ryan had maintained a distance from her.
This revival of their past closeness left Jenessa confused, yet part of her responded to his advances.
Soft whimpers escaped her as Ryan’s kisses wandered, his growl resonating softly.
He instinctively began to remove her clothes, but as the fabric brushed against a bite mark on her shoulder, she cried out in pain.
“Ouch!” Jenessa exclaimed, the sharp pain bringing her abruptly back to reality. Instinctively, she pushed Ryan away and clutched her clothes close.
Ryan’s keen eyes caught the sight of the bruises on her neck.
The marks filled him with a fierce rage. The distinct hickeys and deep bite marks stoked his anger.
“That bastard, Tucker!” he muttered under his breath, resolved that Tucker would pay for this.
Seeing Jenessa’s downcast eyes and her expression of vulnerability, Ryan’s protective instincts surged.
He intended to offer comfort, but Maisie’s words haunted him.
“Now you’re scared? Why didn’t you consider this back at the company? If you had truly maintained your integrity, this wouldn’t have happened. This is your own fault p>
No sooner had Ryan uttered these harsh words than he regretted them.
But before he could apologize, Jenessa trembled with fury.
She glared at him, her voice thick with rage.
