Chapter 129
Chapter 129:
He was not someone who was easily affected by others. But for some reason, Annabel could influence his mood so easily.
And it did not feel good.
Annabel’s temper flared and she yelled, “Rupert, why are you questioning me p>
“Because I’m your fiancee!” Rupert blurted out instantly.
Fiancé?
Did he really see himself as her fiancé?
It was only nominal. Rupert was taking it far too seriously.
Annabel smiled sarcastically and said, “That’s just nominal p>
Rupert’s handsome face darkened. He suddenly reached out and wrapped his fingers around her wrist. “Who said it was just nominal p>
Pain shot through her wrist and Annabel froze. “Isn’t it?” she asked, stunned.
Her detached tone stung Rupert. He pulled her into his arms.
He lowered his head and kissed her.
“Hey, Rupert, what are you doing?” Annabel was completely thrown off by his sudden move. She was about to say more, but her words were swallowed by his lips.
The next second, a searing, all-consuming kiss crashed over her.
His kiss was fierce and domineering, as if he wanted to devour her. Rupert was not an impulsive man. For years, he had shown no interest in women. Even when Heather tried to seduce him, he had remained indifferent, even slightly repulsed.
But Annabel made him lose control again and again. What was it about her? Were Cathy and Erica right when they claimed Annabel loved seducing men?
The image of Rory holding Annabel’s hand flashed across his mind. His gaze darkened and he deepened the kiss.
He wanted his actions to tell Annabel clearly that he was her fiancé.

The sudden kiss left Annabel dazed.
A moment ago, this man had been like an icy glacier, and now he was blazing like a roaring fire.
Her mind went blank. Her heart pounded wildly against her ribs, as if it might jump out of her chest.
She had to admit that Rupert’s kissing skills were exceptional, and for a moment Annabel felt herself slipping under his spell.
She braced her hands against his chest, trying to push him away, but the gesture only seemed to provoke him further.
His hand moved to unbutton her coat and slipped inside.
Annabel shivered as a wave of cool air brushed her skin. A moment later, his hand settled over her breast, igniting a fire that seemed to spread through her entire body.
“Enough, Rupert p>
Annabel suddenly came to her senses and slapped him hard across the face.
The temperature in the office seemed to drop several degrees.
A sharp sting spread across Rupert’s cheek, instantly extinguishing his desire. He loosened his hold on Annabel, his eyes filled with disbelief.
