William caught her before she could react. His hand came up firm against her cheek, tilting her face slightly as his lips pressed against hers.
Thalia froze for a split second.
Before she finally snapped and then struggled. Her hands pushed against his chest, trying to create distance, but he didn't move.
His other hand slid to the side of her face, holding her in place.
The kiss deepened. Obviously forced.
Thalia's brows furrowed as she tried to pull back, her fingers gripping his shirt tighter.
Nothing seemed to work, he didn't budge.
Her chest tightened and her thoughts scrambled.
And the more she tried to push him away the less her body seemed to cooperate.
At her last resort, she bit his lip.
Hard.
"What the hell are you trying to do, Mr. Freaking Carter?!" she shouted at the top of her lungs.
William staggered a step back. His thumb brushed over the spot she had bitten then he smiled. "Let's get married."
