Chapter 173: Refusal
Only when their mouths touched did Yvonne understand how badly she had miscalculated.
Elias Kane could not be trusted.
She had known that from the beginning, so why had she believed him when he claimed he did not know how?
His so-called inexperience turned into a kiss that almost tried to devour her. It carried the heat and energy a boy his age should have had, along with a skill that did not belong to his age at all.
His lips looked fuller after the kiss, damp and flushed, shaped like they were asking for more even when he was not moving. He lifted his spine and looked down at her from above, smiling with a sweetness that only made him seem worse.
"Yvonne," he said, as if he meant every word, "you really are amazing."
It sounded like praise.
After that kiss, Yvonne heard the comparison underneath it.
He was measuring her against the women before her, and he was pleased with the result.
Yvonne did not comment on that. She only repeated, "Kneel."
