Chapter 316 Ben D. Over

"Yes. That's me."

He leaned closer, his presence dominating the room. 

His hand reached out to gently caress her face, his fingers brushing against her skin with an intimacy she'd never experienced before. 

Jessica froze, her breath hitching as her heart raced uncontrollably.

She had never been touched like this by anyone. 

Her life had been consumed by academics and the pressure of her scholarship.

But now, here she was, face-to-face with a man whose mere touch seemed to ignite something lewd within her.

"It's fortunate to meet you under such... unique circumstances, Jessica," Ross said, his voice dropping to a low murmur. 

"I can only call it fate."

With those words, he straightened and turned to leave. 

His movements were fluid, effortless, as though he controlled the very air around him.
