Chapter 160 A Punishing Kiss


    Cough!


    Tessa noticed the bulge in Landon''s pants and awkwardly looked away, unable to


    meet his gaze.

    At that moment, her cheeks flushed with a hint of red, and her heart pounded uneasily in her chest


    She could feel the intense heat radiating off Landon, mixed with the distinct scent of his pine pheromones, carrying an invisible force that both oppressed and attracted her. It enveloped her tightly, as if silently dering his desire and possessiveness.


    Suddenly, Landon lowered his head and ced a kiss on her forehead.


    Tessa froze for a moment, then bit her lower lip. Is Landon doing this to intentionally provoke me?


    Seeing her teeth bite down on her soft, pink lip, the man felt an electric current surge through him.


    A gleam shed in his eyes, like a hungry wolf spotting its prey. His throat involuntarily moved as a low, almost inaudible growl escaped his nose.


    No one knew how much restraint he had used to keep from pulling Tessa into his arms, kissing her fiercely, and iming her!


    Landon took a deep breath, trying to calm the desire in his body, and reached out to adjust her nightgown


    cor.


    His fingertips brushed against her exposed skin, sparking a me that made Tessa''s heartbeat quicken with each movement.


    "Put your clothes back on. I''m actually not as much of a gentleman as you think," he said, struggling to maintain control.


    Tessa blushed and said, "Sorry, I was half-asleep. I forgot you and Nathaniel were here."


    She had been alone recently, and after a good night''s sleep, she had forgotten about the presence of the two


    men.


    This time, Landon gave her a punishing kiss on her lips.


    "Am I someone you can forget so easily?"


    Well, Landon is kind of petty. I already said I was half-asleep!


    Ysabel opened the door and came out, only to see Landon pinning Tessa against


    the door, kissing her. For a moment, she waspletely stunned.


    What should I do now? Should I go back to my room? Or should I just greet them casually?


    Before she could decide, Tessa had already seen her.


    Noticing Tessa''s gaze, Landon turned and saw Ysabel.

    "You two go downstairs. I''m going back to my room to take a shower," Landon said and then returned to his


    room.


    Tessa was speechless.


    The awkwardness of the morning passed. After breakfast, Tessa and Ysabel went to school together.


    Yesterday, Winona had done something bad, and today she was afraid to face Tessa, especially remembering how powerful Tessa had been the day before-so strong that Winona couldn''t resist. She felt even more fearful now and tried to stay hidden in ss, avoiding going out.


    However, everyone has to eat, drink, and use the bathroom. She couldn''t hold it anymore, so she went to the restroom.


    And, as fate would have it, the person she most wanted to avoid was the one she ran into.


    She had just walked out of the bathroom when she ran straight into Tessa waiting outside!


    Winona didn''t want to seem too scared, so she straightened her back.


    She tried to reassure herself that there was nothing to be afraid of-this was school, Tessa wouldn''t dare do anything to her, especially with so many people around.


    Yet, as she walked ahead, Tessa silently followed her.


    Not a word was spoken, but the more silent Tessa became, the more anxious Winona felt.


    Unable to bear it any longer, Winona turned a corner where there were no people. "Tessa, what exactly do you want?" Winona snapped. "Don''t forget, this is school!" Tessa sneered disdainfully, "So what if it''s school? You think I can''t do anything to you here? Winona, I have to say, you really are a little too naive and kind ofughable."


    She had hurt Ysabel, so there was no way she''d get off easy. Tessa had never been one to let things slide, and Winona should''ve known that by now.
