However, before Charlotte could react, Justin Battleson took a stride towards her and enveloped her in his arms.
"Justin, you... mm..."
As soon as Charlotte opened her mouth, Justin's fiery kiss landed on her, leaving her speechless.
But at this moment, Charlotte was still on the phone. On the other end, Jonathan Thompson, upon hearing Charlotte's hesitant voice, immediately grew anxious.
"Charlotte, what's wrong? Why..."
Jonathan's incessant questioning came through the phone, causing Justin's brow to furrow deeply. Without hesitation, he hung up the call and tossed the phone aside.
Then, without giving Charlotte any chance to react, he pressed his palm against the back of her neck and resumed the kiss from before.
This kiss felt like a punishment, urgent and passionate, like waves engulfing Charlotte, making it hard for her to catch her breath.
Charlotte's palm pressed tightly against Justin's chest, feeling the strong heartbeat beneath his skin.
