Dead at Heart (Ariel and Jayson) novel Chapter 721

Jayson's lips were warm, carrying a cool, subtle scent. It hit Ariel's senses like a jolt.

She froze at once. The anger that had been raging through her mind just moments ago stalled midstream.

She couldn't process the situation and couldn't understand why Jayson would do something like this out of nowhere.

Neither of them closed their eyes. Jayson didn't miss a single flicker of expression on her face.

Before she could react, his other hand had already ended the call.

It wasn't until Morgan's voice faded that Ariel snapped back to herself.

Jayson's move had been too sudden. By the time she registered it, she had only taken a small step back.

"What are you doing?" She frowned slightly as she looked at him, feeling a bit puzzled.

It wasn't really a big deal. After all, they had done this countless times before.

But after so long, and with their previous unpleasant encounter, it was inevitable that she felt strange.

After asking the question, Ariel lifted her hand to wipe her lips.

Jayson narrowed his gaze. "You find me disgusting?"

Ariel paused. "Aren't you the one being abrupt?"

"Other than the abruptness, you're okay with it?"

She stared at him quietly. "Jayson, what the hell are you doing?"

He didn't rush to straighten up. His gaze swept downward, and his fingertip brushed her lip before he asked, "Are those irrelevant people really worth your anger?"

Well, shifting her attention to him worked pretty well. Better to vent at him than stew over Morgan.
