Everyone has their own aesthetic preferences.
And a man's sexy Adam's apple was, for Si Tian, a fatal temptation.
"Would Miss Si like to try someone else?"
After saying this, Zhou Si raised his red wine glass and took a sip.
Outside the floor-to-ceiling window, moonlight spilled over him like white frost, deepening the silhouette of his profile.
As the wine slid down his throat, the man's prominent, smooth Adam's apple rolled slowly downward…
As if in slow motion, silently seducing her.
There was no denying it—with Zhou Si's looks and physique, he could outshine every male celebrity in the entertainment industry.
Faced with such male beauty, Si Tian's feet felt nailed to the ground, unable to move an inch.
If she actually slept with Zhou Si, she wouldn't be at a loss—she might even come out ahead…
But taking that step forward, she couldn't bring herself to do it.
In that brief moment of eye contact just now, whether it was her imagination or not, she thought she glimpsed an intensely predatory look in the man's eyes.
Extremely dangerous.
His current amiable demeanor was more like a disguise.
A tactic to lower her guard.
Zhou Si seemed to see right through her. He bent down, set his glass on the table, and picked up the bottle with more than half the wine still in it.
He stood up, strode over on his long legs, carrying the bottle, walking toward her against the light.
His tall, dark figure approached step by step, soon completely enveloping her petite frame.
With it came an overwhelming, suffocating pressure.
Si Tian's hand gripping the door handle tightened involuntarily, her fingertips turning stark white.
Zhou Si lowered his back, his thin lips brushing against her ear as he let out a soft chuckle. "Miss Si, don't be afraid. I don't bite."
The moment his words fell, a large, dry palm calloused with rough skin covered her fair, delicate little hand resting on the door handle.
Si Tian's body stiffened, but before she could pull her hand away—
The large palm guided her hand to rest on his prominent, sharp Adam's apple.
An Adam's apple—visually, it was sexy.
In reality, it was also fragile and vulnerable.
And just like that, Zhou Si exposed his fatal weakness completely into her hands.
Si Tian's heart trembled.
At the same time, some kind of electric current wildly danced along her nerve endings.
Si Tian's gaze fell to her own hand.
The man had normal yellow-toned skin, while she had fair, cool-toned skin.
Her delicate white hand against his thick, sturdy neck created a striking visual contrast.
Sensing the woman's gaze, Zhou Si's eyes darkened, and a wicked smile curled at the corner of his lips.
"Care for a drink?"
Hearing this, Si Tian looked up and immediately fell into his deep, whirlpool-like eyes.
Those pitch-black pupils drew her in deeply, bewitching her.
Si Tian felt her rationality crumbling bit by bit.
Two voices were fighting in her head—one telling her to stay clear-headed.
The other urging her to get her 'revenge' now!
"Yes."
Her mouth moved faster than her mind, and the word slipped out.
Words once spoken were like water spilled.
Never to be taken back.
Of course, Zhou Si wouldn't let her take it back either.
He raised his hand, lifted the wine bottle, and brought it to his own lips.
Seeing this, Si Tian was slightly taken aback.
Wasn't this wine meant for her?
Just as she was puzzling over it, the hand resting on the man's neck suddenly felt cold.
Si Tian froze.
Red wine was continuously spilling from the corners of the man's mouth…
The dark crimson liquid traced along his sharply defined jawline, flowing down to his neck…
Si Tian's fingers hanging at her side unconsciously clenched the fabric of her clothes.
God help her!
How was she supposed to withstand this visual feast?!
Zhou Si's Adam's apple kept rolling beneath her palm as the wine in his hand steadily diminished.
Seeing the wine nearly run out, Si Tian parted her red lips slightly, about to ask something.
Then—crack—a crisp sound rang out as the wine bottle was casually tossed to the floor by the man.
Si Tian flinched in surprise.
But the startled cry barely escaped her throat when her jaw was seized in a firm grip.
The man's handsome face suddenly loomed large before her.
His cool, thin lips pressed down.
In an instant, the sound in her mouth was swallowed away…
