Chapter 175 Why Would He Do This?

Lexi was stunned.

She was completely overwhelmed by the sensation of his lips against hers and their

insistent movements, as if desperate to claim her as his own. She wanted to lose

herself in this moment completely and her heart craved him between her legs but

there was something niggling at the back of her mind and it was stopping her from

immersing herself completely in the moment.

The subtle hum of conversation returned to the room as people carried on as if

nothing had happened, but for Lexi, everything had changed.

Allen hated her and everything that she stood for, and he infuriated her with his

constant pompous demands, so why would he do this now?

Was he jealous because she had clicked instantly with Greyson? Greyson, the man

who had stepped in to defend her in a heartbeat and didn’t seem to give a s**t about

where she came from or how she acted.

As the frantic panic of the thoughts in her mind brought her to her senses, she pushed

away from Allen, glaring at him in disbelief.

That familiar emotion of hurt flashed in his eyes briefly before he clenched his jaw and

reached for her again, but Lexi evaded him and backed away from him slowly.

Allen’s face hardened as he straightened himself and his eyes seemed to dim slightly
