Besides, he had been celibate for many years. The only time he felt the stirrings of lust again was when he had met Noelle.
Noelle now blinked as Cyrus’ words evoked scenes from last night. She felt her face grow hot.
“Well… You’re right, Mr. Simmons. I was drugged. It shouldn’t have happened, so please just forget that it ever did. Do not worry, I won’t hold the matter against you. It was a mistake, nothing more.”
Cyrus glared at her angrily.
“You! How can you be so cruel? You held me so passionately last night, and you expect me to act like it was nothing? Shouldn’t you take responsibility for what you did to me?”
Noelle’s head jerked up at that.
“What did you say?”
What the hell was he on about?!
She had never imagined that someone so dignified would spout out such nonsense.

“No buts!” he snapped.
“I will take care of everything that comes between us. You are no longer alone, Noelle. You have me to conquer the obstacles ahead with. I will love you and spoil you like never before. All you have to do is to pursue the things you love and be happy.”
Noelle could only stare at him, her heart overflowing with emotion.
She thought she had already signed off men and relationships after Delavan had cheated on her, but Cyrus had somehow broken through her walls.
To be loved and cared for, to have a family of her own… These were things she had always wanted, but had never allowed herself to dream of.
“Can you not be so good to me?” Noelle choked on a sob.
Cyrus cupped her face and pressed his forehead against hers.
“Why not?”
