Midnight Bride The CEO’s Temptation

Dylan lifted the hem of her skirt. His finger slipped through the fine lace and slowly circled around her. Before Savannah reacted, he thrust his finger inside her, and Savannah moaned out.

She suddenly woke up. He did this to her in broad daylight? Even if they were in his private estate, no one around, he went too far...

Damn!

What made her more shameful was that she almost lost herself beneath his expert fingers. She forgot that she had not made up with him, and her body honestly responded...

How could this happen? She must have been bewitched by him…

Or, as Garcia said, she had special feelings for him and couldn't leave him?

Dylan withdrew his hand. He was about to take her to the pavilion to continue when Savannah pushed him away with all her strength.

She retreated a few steps and quickly regained her composure, saying sarcastically, "did you call me over to do this, Mr. Sterling?"

Dylan smiled ruefully, and he looked vaguely disappointed. Fine, he should take a gradual process. He wanted her badly, but he had been waiting for her for so long that he was in no hurry now.

Well, just let her go. He had more important things to do now.

A serious look came into his heated and lustful eyes. He adjusted his suit and approached her. Afraid she would be frightened again, he stood in front of her and didn't touch her, "still angry?"

She took her breath, controlled her emotion, and looked up at him. "I should thank you for taking the Schultz's factory back for me, and the house in Green Lake, and Garcia. I really appreciate all you've done for me."

She thanked him, but she was too courteous as if he was a stranger.

It was clear that she was still angry at him. She agreed to come here to see him just because he had done too much for her these days, and she would like to give him some face.

"If you want to thank me, do one thing for me." He smiled, looking at her seriously.

Savannah looked at him with a puzzled frown.

Do one thing for him?

She didn't think he lacked in anything. There was not anything he couldn't have in his status.

The baby in her was the only thing she could give him.

Dylan dived into his pocket, and then, with a charming smile, he took out a beautiful brocade jewel case lined with velvet. He opened it, disclosing the content to Savannah.

There was a diamond ring dazzling with brilliancy in the box. It was obviously highly valued for its unique design and the size of the diamond.

Savannah stared at the blinking diamond in surprise for a moment and then stammered, "wh-what, do you mean?"

"Just do one thing for me if you want to thank me. Put on this diamond ring." Dylan said in a soft but fervent voice.

Savannah's heart was in her mouth.

What does that mean? Is he proposing?

Dylan pulled out the diamond ring and lifted her hand. He was about to place the ring on her third finger when she reacted and snatched her hand away.

"No, I don't want it." Savannah looked doubtful at him.

She didn't believe he proposed to her because of love. It must be his father's command that made him compromise, or they wanted to give the baby her legal status.

Or because he couldn't find his savior, he wanted to lawfully confine her in order to put his feelings for that girl on her forever?

No! She didn't want this kind of love.

Then she stumbled down the steps and made her way to the gate.

Dylan laughed with anger. He never thought that he would be turned down. It was his first proposal in his life, and only this little woman would say no to his offer of marriage. She thought he was not serious, or she thought he still took her as a substitute.

Dylan strode down the stairs and yelled at her from behind, "stop, Savannah! Come back!"

She did not stop but quickened her steps as if there was a wolf running after her.

Dylan frowned and began to run to catch her.

He stopped in front of her and blocked her way.

Savannah halted, frowning. The tall man towered over her and also blocked the sunlight.

"I said no!" she shunned him when he tried to put his arm around her shoulders, "what? I know you have a powerful family, but you can't force me into marriage!"

Dylan didn't look angry. He looked at her red face with a smile, as if in a good mood. He put his hand to her trembling chin, "well, if you really don't want to marry me. Just look at me and make an oath of it."

He had been with her for more than one year, and he had been familiar with her temperament. He was very clear what the little woman really thought.

How could she be so angry if she really didn't want to marry him?

She had feelings for him.

Savannah quivered and bit her lip. She looked up into his eyes but could not utter a word under his intent gaze.

She lost the game!

She couldn't say that she really didn't want to marry him. That was not her meaning. But she was also annoyed that he exposed her lie mercilessly. It seemed that he was laughing at her for not being able to leave him.

In a shameful rage, she grabbed the ring from his hand, ran to the edge of the lake, and threw it into the lake without hesitation!

The ring made a ripple on the surface of the lake and immediately disappeared in the crystal-clear lake.

"You know what I mean now?" She turned and cried, "if you still want me to marry you, well, get it back if you can!"

With that, she drew herself up and walked toward the gate again.

Dylan squinted, eyes on the lake. Without much hesitation, he strode over and began to take off the suit and shoes. Then he quickly jumped into the lake!

Savannah heard the movement, startled, and turned around, staring at the figure in the lake with eyes wide!

What's he doing? He's not trying to get the ring back from the lake, is he?

Is he mad?

This was a natural lake. It was not his swimming pool! They didn't know the depth of it at all!

Flustered, she ran back to the lake and cried, "Dylan? Come back!"

Dylan was still in the lake, rising and falling. Though he was good at swimming, the lake was too large for a small ring. Savannah was quite clear that it was impossible for him to find the ring!

"Dylan! Are you crazy? Stop looking for it!" She was all of the sweat on the shore of the lake.
