Chapter 334\u00a0<\/p>\n
Haskell changed the subject. \u201cHas Torrin been bothering you these past two days?\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\n
Larissa shook her head. \u201cHe won\u2019t be bothering me anymore. From now on, he\u2019ll only be bothering\u00a0<\/p>\n
Avril.\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\n
\u201cOh?\u201d Haskell raised an eyebrow.\u00a0<\/p>\n
Larissa explained how Avril had taken over her text conversations with Torrin. Haskell listened and then remarked, \u201cIn that case, Avril has really solved a major headache for me.\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\n
\u201cIs it that serious?\u201d Larissa said, amused.\u00a0<\/p>\n
Haskell nodded earnestly. \u201cYes. In my opinion, Torrin is more difficult to deal with than people like Draven or Solomon. He hasn\u2019t actually done anything illegal, so I can\u2019t exactly be too harsh with him.\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\n
\u201cSo you were originally planning to do something about him?\u201d Larissa asked.\u00a0<\/p>\n
\u201cOf course,\u201d Haskell admitted without hesitation. \u201cThe methods might have been a bit underhanded.\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\n
Larissa guessed, \u201cYou were going to have someone beat him up until he got the message?\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\n
Haskell smiled faintly. \u201cNot that crude. A honey trap would have been more effective. Similar to what Avril is doing now, just with a different approach.\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\n
\u201cI see,\u201d Larissa said, understanding. \u201cThat is a bit underhanded.\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\n
Haskell adopted a helpless tone. \u201cWell, what can I do? After falling for you, I\u2019ve developed this uncontrollable possessiveness.\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\n
Larissa knew he was teasing her and played along. \u201cNow that you mention it, I can relate. After all\u2026 I feel the same possessiveness toward you.\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\n
Haskell\u2019s eyes twinkled with amusement. \u201cTo be possessed by you, Larissa, would be my greatest\u00a0<\/p>\n
honor.\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\n
As they bantered, Larissa found herself captivated by his handsome face. Her gaze drifted from his strong brows down to his soft, red lips. In the privacy of his office, with just the two of them, an impulse she could no longer ignore took over.\u00a0<\/p>\n
\u201cI want to try something today.\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\n
\u201cTry what?\u201d Haskell asked, but the moment his eyes met hers, he understood.\u00a0<\/p>\n
\u201cTry the texture of these,\u201d Larissa said, tapping her own lips with her index finger.\u00a0<\/p>\n
A light ignited in Haskell\u2019s deep eyes.\u00a0<\/p>\n
\u201cThen what are we waiting for?\u201d He closed his eyes. \u201cCome on.\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\n
His shamelessness made her laugh. \u201cHaskell, that\u2019s not how it works. I\u2019m supposed to be the one closing my eyes.\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\n
\u201cLike this?\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\n
Haskell opened his eyes. \u201cYou close your eyes, Larissa. I\u2019ll do it.\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\n

Before she could answer, he leaned forward from his wheelchair, cupped the back of her head with one hand, tilted his head slightly, and pressed his lips against hers.\u00a0<\/p>\n
That afternoon, Larissa was back in her room, not napping, but replaying Haskell\u2019s kiss in her mind. Sage watched her for a while, then slithered over to the desk where Shadow and Snowy were coiled up. It nudged them with its tail and flicked its tongue. Both small snakes turned to look at Larissa on the bed. After a moment, they seemed to reach an agreement and nodded their tiny heads.\u00a0<\/p>\n
Satisfied, Sage slithered off the desk and disappeared through a crack in the wardrobe, into a cabinet filled with bottles and jars.\u00a0<\/p>\n
A moment later, the sound of clinking glass broke Larissa\u2019s reverie. She looked toward the wardrobe, realizing Sage was missing, and got up to open the door. Inside, she found it with a small porcelain bottle wrapped in its tail.\u00a0<\/p>\n
She raised an eyebrow. \u201cSage, what are you doing?\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\n
Sage nudged the bottle with its tail, then circled it.\u00a0<\/p>\n
Confused, Larissa picked it up, uncorked it, and shook the pills into her palm. She brought them to her nose and sniffed.\u00a0<\/p>\n
The scent was unmistakable, and the corner of her mouth twitched.\u00a0<\/p>\n
