I thought you were smarter than that, Gwen.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Her fists clenched at his condescension, fury flickering through her fear.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Stay away from me,\" she spat, her voice defiant despite the tremor in it.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Ross only chuckled, a low, mocking sound that sent chills down her spine.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Oh, Gwen,\" he said softly, his tone almost pitying. \"You don't understand, do you? There's no running from this. No escaping me.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He leaned in closer, his face just inches from hers, his breath warm against her skin.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"I warned you to stay out of my business. But you didn't listen. And now, here we are.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Gwen's eyes darted around the room, searching for anything—anything—she could use as a weapon.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Her mind worked frantically, trying to formulate a plan, but Ross's presence was suffocating, making it nearly impossible to think clearly.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Fight all you want,\" Ross continued, his voice dropping to a menacing whisper. \"Scream, kick, claw—it won't make a difference. I say again. You're mine now.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Gwen's body tensed, her muscles coiled with both fear and defiance.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>She wasn't ready to give up, not yet. Even if he seemed unstoppable, she wasn't going to let him win without a fight.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"You think you're untouchable,\" she said, her voice sharper now, fueled by adrenaline. \"But everyone has a weakness.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Ross smiled, an infuriatingly calm expression. \"Maybe. But good luck finding mine before you break, Gwen.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Her heart pounded as he took another step closer, looming over her. His body now plastered tightly on her own.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>She knew the odds were stacked against her, but she refused to let him see her fear—not entirely. This wasn't over yet, not if she could help it.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Mmm…\" Gwen found herself being kissed again, just as she had anticipated. But this time, something in her shifted.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>She didn't push him away. She didn't fight him immediately. Instead, she allowed the kiss to linger, even leaning into it ever so slightly.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Her lips moved with his in hesitant response, mirroring the rhythm he set.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>It was a deliberate choice, calculated and careful. If brute strength hadn't worked, she needed another approach.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Still, every moment of that kiss made her feel like she was losing something—a piece of herself slipping away under his touch.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>And yet, her body betrayed her completely.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Her nipples tightened beneath her oversized sweater, pebbling painfully against the fabric, and the heat between her thighs only grew, dampening her underwear in a way that made her stomach twist with shame.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>She couldn't control it, no matter how much her mind screamed against it.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Ross's scent filled the space around her, overpowering her senses. It was intoxicating—rich, musky, and maddeningly irresistible.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He smelled like something primal, something designed to make her defenses crumble.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>His breath was warm against her lips, and his technique… it was unlike anything she'd ever experienced.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>His lips teased hers with a skill and confidence that felt almost supernatural.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Ahhh…\" The soft moan slipped from her lips before she could stop it. Her cheeks burned with humiliation, but she refused to let it distract her.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>If she couldn't outmatch him physically, she'd have to use her wits.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Her hands moved deliberately, roaming up to Ross's head as if she were surrendering to the moment. Her fingers slid through his hair, her touch light, almost tender.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>She tilted her head, deepening the kiss as if she were giving in completely.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But it was all a lie.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Just when he seemed to let his guard down, she struck.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Puchi!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Her fingers jabbed toward his eyes with all the force she could muster, nails aimed for the soft, vulnerable flesh.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>It was a move born of desperation, her last-ditch effort to catch him off guard and break free.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But just like before, her plan failed.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Ross's eyelids snapped shut with an unnatural speed, blocking her strike as if he had anticipated it.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Worse, his eyelids were impenetrable, as strong as steel. Her nails skidded harmlessly against them, the impact sending a sharp pain up her fingers.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"What the…?\" she whispered, staring at him in disbelief.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Ross opened his eyes slowly, almost mockingly, and smiled.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Nice try,\" he said, his voice calm and steady, as though her attempt had been nothing more than a playful gesture.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Before she could process what had happened, he moved.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Whoosh!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>In one fluid motion, Ross grabbed her by the waist and flung her across the room.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Gwen's body hit the oversized bed with a thud, the impact knocking the breath from her lungs.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>She gasped, clutching at the sheets as she tried to steady herself.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Dazed but not defeated, Gwen pushed herself up, her chest heaving as she fought to regain her composure.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Her baggy jeans and sweater were rumpled from the scuffle, but she hardly noticed.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>She had worn them deliberately, trying to appear as ordinary as possible—most definitely around Asher after what he did last week—but none of that mattered now.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Her innocent, angelic face was framed by her disheveled hair, and despite the fear etched into her features, her eyes burned with determination.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>She wasn't going to break. Not yet.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Ross stood at the other side of the room, watching her with an expression of amusement. His dark eyes glinted in the dim light, and his lips curled into a faint smile.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"You're impressive, Gwen,\" he said, his voice low and smooth. \"Most people would've given up by now. But you… you've got fight in you. I like that.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>She clenched her fists, nails digging into her palms as she glared at him. \"Stay away from me,\" she spat, her voice trembling but defiant.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Ross chuckled, a low, mocking sound that filled the room. \"Stay away? After everything? Oh, Gwen… you should've thought about that before you stuck your nose where it didn't belong.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He took a step closer, his movements slow and deliberate, like a predator savoring the hunt.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Discover exclusive tales at empire\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Gwen instinctively backed away, her legs hitting the edge of the bed.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>She glanced around the room, her mind racing as she searched for anything she could use as a weapon.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But the space was barren, leaving her with nothing but her bare hands and wits.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Fight all you want,\" Ross continued, his tone almost conversational. \"Run, scream, claw—none of it will make a difference. This is a checkmate for you.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Over my dead body,\" Gwen shot back, her voice sharper now, fueled by adrenaline.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Ross smirked, unfazed by her defiance. \"If that's what it takes,\" he said, his voice dropping to a menacing whisper.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"But I'd rather keep you alive. You're much more fun this way.\"\u003C\u002Fp>",1135,"2026-06-09T06:18:43.919Z",1,"novelbin.me","411a551a6f66d9d02fe281e2ed2f0c634c5e65464ebebef9bb05713c87cc50ed","evil-mc-s-ntr-harem-chapter-154","evil-mc-s-ntr-harem-chapter-152",1212,"https:\u002F\u002Fnovelzhen.com\u002Fimages\u002Fcovers\u002Fevil-mc-s-ntr-harem-cover.jpg"]
