6 The car door slammed shut , and Jax Ryder got back in . I was about to remove the jacket , but he grabbed my wrist . Then my vision suddenly cleared as the soft fabric wrapped around both my wrists , pinning them above my head . 4 % < The boy leaned closer , inch by inch , his features becoming dazzlingly beautiful in the reduced distance . But his eyes held obvious displeasure : " What a coincidence , Sister . Is this your cheating husband ? " The proximity made the coldness between his raised brows even more distinct . In this incredibly intimate position , I couldn't help but give a helpless laugh : " What's the difference between him and me ? " Jax Ryder didn't say anything else , just kissed me with a touch of force . The familiar scent of blue eucalyptus , mixed with the crispness of rain , gradually filled every inch of the car . And silently , enveloped me . It wasn't until my thoughts were gradually lost in the swirling tide that I heard his voice : " At least , your taste is much better than his . " " Eve , you chose me . " Outside the car , the rain fell steadily . Inside , the damp , hazy mist was like an overwhelming downpour . Jax Ryder's place wasn't far , a thirty - minute drive . The moment we entered , he grabbed my shoulders . The next second , his lips sealed mine , grinding against them with an almost savage force . " I'll be gentle . " < He said , " It won't hurt . " His scorching breath fanned my neck , moving downwards , as his hand powerfully pressed against the prominent butterfly bones on my back . But then , he stopped abruptly when he felt the uneven scars . " … What's this ? " His breathing suddenly quickened . " Did he lay his hands on you ? " I froze for a second , then understood . He was talking about those old whip marks . I laughed , dismissively : " No. " " No matter what , with both families having collaborations , he wouldn't go that far .. " I didn't finish the sentence . Because his passionate , even reckless kiss completely sealed my lips .
