That blazing red tangled with a shocking white–it was like crimson plum blossoms bursting into bloom in the dead of winter, suddenly buried beneath a heavy fall of snow.

The snow pressed down the branches, bending them with its weight.

Fragrance wafted through the air. Seduction flooded every inch of the car.

“Lily, get away from me!”

James didn’t want this. Didn’t want to kiss her. Forcing himself to turn his face away, he used every ounce of willpower he had to shove her off, trembling as he did.

“Someone’s bringing the antidote. You won’t feel like this for long. Stay away from me!”

When she tried to cling to him again, he shoved her aside with a cold face and wasted no time slipping into the driver’s seat.

“Mm…”

Lily had been quite content hugging that cool, icy jade—comfortably nestled against him.

Kissing it was even better.

She was happily wrapped around her human–shaped ice stone… until the stone suddenly came alive, refused to let her hold it, and even tossed her to the ground.

And then it yelled at her?

How could she not be mad?

Unable to hug her cold jade anymore, she tried to find some other way to cool off. If not, she’d really burn alive.

Hearing her little whimpering sobs of frustration, James glanced up at the rearview mirror without thinking.

He hadn’t wanted to marry her. That was the truth.

But after spending time with her, he’d come to realize she wasn’t the shameless, irrational kind of woman he’d assumed she was.

He thought once he pushed her off, even if she was uncomfortable, she’d sit still in the back seat like a decent person.

He never imagined–she’d unzip the dress completely.

That red dress slipped loosely down to her waist, pooling around her like blooming red lotus petals cradling the first snow of winter.

That dazzling white gleamed in the low light, carrying a faint fragrance, and burned straight into his

vision.

It wavered. It swayed. It blinded him.

“Lily!”

James‘ voice was like a whipcrack. His expression turned deadly. “Put your clothes back on!”

But Lily couldn’t even understand what she was doing anymore. There was no way she’d follow orders.

Not only did she not pull her dress back up–she rolled up the hem lazily, and in a flash, two long, slender legs stretched out in front of him.

She looked like a clueless little temptress who’d fallen straight into the mortal world–using the most innocent face to commit the most maddening acts.

James‘ face darkened several shades, like someone had just robbed him of a billion dollars.

His car had one–way tinted windows–he could see out, but no one could see in.

Still, he could see.

And what he saw now nearly drove him insane.

The air in the car felt suffocating.

But with her in this state, he couldn’t even crack a window.

Even blasting the air conditioning didn’t help.

Panicked, he tore his eyes away from the mirror. But even without looking, the image burned into his mind, searing him like a brand.

He couldn’t escape it.

He started silently reciting Bible verses he’d learned as a child.

But no matter how many times he repeated them, no peace came.

He wasn’t a monk. He was human. And his breath kept faltering.

Every second inside the car became a kind of torture.

He slammed the gas pedal, desperate to get her home as fast as possible.

Once home, she could go to the bedroom. He’d sleep in the study. They’d keep their distance. Stay out of each other’s way.

By the time they arrived, it was late. Everyone else at the Luke estate had gone to bed. The main house was silent.

She looked like she’d fallen asleep. Her long lashes cast soft shadows on her cheeks, her lips were rosy, and her face had a gentle flush.

She looked… calm. Innocent.

For a moment, James was stunned.

She looked so quiet like this, eyes closed.

But that dress barely covering her–she was anything but quiet.

There was no way he was going to carry her upstairs like this.

He shut his eyes, took a deep breath, and coldly ordered, “Lily. Fix your clothes. Go to your room.”
