The Unshackled Queen: Never Say Never

A frown formed on her face when she felt his feverish skin and assessed his overall state.

Given Bryson’s condition, Hannah knew it was pointless to ask him how he had been drugged.

She retrieved ice cubes from the refrigerator, filled a basin with cold water, and grabbed a towel to help bring down Bryson’s fever.

As she placed the ice-wrapped towel on his forehead, he seemed to regain a bit of clarity.

However, when he opened his eyes, his gaze was unfocused.

He looked at Hannah and almost instinctively jerked his hand away.

“Get… get out.

”

In his confused state, he mistook her for Ryleigh, so his words cut through.

Knowing that Bryson wasn’t fully aware, Hannah didn’t take offense.

She continued to gently wipe his neck with the icy towel.

Suddenly, Bryson seized Hannah’s arm and flung her onto the bed.

The towel and its ice cubes scattered across the floor, sending ice skittering in all directions.

Bryson hovered over Hannah, breathing heavily.

His kisses landed urgently on her neck.

He kissed her fervently as if driven by hunger and desperation.

His tongue pried open Hannah’s teeth.

Their lips remained locked together until they finally ran out of breath.

“Hannah…” Bryson propped himself up with his arms on the bed and peered at her.

“You’re Hannah.

”

“Yes, I am.

” Hannah gently stroked his face.

Relieved, Bryson smiled and leaned in to kiss her softly again.

Hannah closed her eyes and returned his kiss.

His hand slipped under her clothes and began to caress her plump breast.

His touch was warm as if fueled by a fire within, igniting a tender warmth wherever he touched.

Hannah’s cheeks flushed a deep red.

She grasped his wrist and copied his movements.

As his rationality slipped further away, Bryson’s mind blurred the lines between Hannah and Ryleigh.

He acted on instinct and sought solace in the closeness they shared.

He leaned closer and nibbled in her earlobe, making Hannah tremble and moan.

“Hmm… Hmm.

”

With her face glowing with a rosy blush, Hannah tilted her head back slightly and responded instinctively to his intensity.

Her legs encircled his waist, pulling him closer.
