No Way Back

Chapter 36

Hugh lowered his head. The image of Jane reflected off his deep, amber

eyes.

The moment those eyes marked out a target, it felt as though they were capable of ***one’s soul into an icy-cold vortex.

They were dangerous and sexy.

“Come on in.”

Since he was doing her a favor, it was wrong of her to be rude.

What else could she say? Jane had taken an interest in the food in the picture.

Hugh had brought the food all the way here. If she refused to let him through the door, it made her seem unreasonable.

Jane was very confident about her moves.

However, she had no confidence in the likes of Hugh.

One thing was certain though, Hugh was not the sort of guy to go against

her wishes and touch her.

Hugh’s lips curved upward slightly as he entered Jane’s residence.

The décor inside was simple and bright. Everything was clearly visible.

There was a lightly colored low-profile couch, a coffee table, lighting, and a dining furniture set.

She had everything she needed.

There was nothing extraneous in the place.

Jane’s style was just like Hugh’s.

Jane took the food container from Hugh and said, “Just make yourself comfortable. Erm… Have you eaten yet?”

Hugh raised his chin. He nodded and said, “Eat up while it’s hot.”

“Okay then. I happen to be hungry anyway since I haven’t eaten anything.”

Jane and Hugh were too close, so the atmosphere felt weird.

She genuinely did not know how to handle men like him who were very strong and dangerous.

It felt as though Hugh could suppress her anytime.

Jane told Hugh to look around while she brought the food containers to the kitchen.

Whatever it was, there was nothing for Hugh to steal at her place.

He was the heir to one of the most powerful families in the world, so he probably felt her place was nothing more than an ant’s nest.

After opening the food containers, sure enough, it contained a strange black substance.

Jane held it up and smelled it.

Hmmm…

It seemed to smell very good.

It was kind of like ****tofu. It smelled bad on the surface but tasted good inside.

It was just a pure nightmare for people who preferred fancy-looking food. However, it smelled very fragrant and whetted her appetite.

She just did not know where to start.

Jane stuck her head out from the kitchen.

Hugh was sitting on the cool-colored blue couch.

He sat with his long slender legs crossed. His expensive glossy suit sparkled slightly in the ****light.

The light scattered over Hugh’s excessively gorgeous face. It seemed impossible for anyone to have such a beautiful face.

His face was expressionless and slightly softer than usual. He lowered his head and seemed to be in deep thought.

His pursed lips. His sharp nose made his profile so handsome that one might lose friends for it.

With every stroke, he looked like the finest painting from the best masters.

He was six feet, three inches tall. Even though he was seated, he gave off a powerful aura.

To begin with, Hugh seemed like royalty.

was hard to come up with the right adjectives for Hugh.

At least, Jane had trouble squeezing more from her brain.

He was so elegant and dignified that he resembled a god who had lost his way.

Hugh looked in Jane’s direction. He seemed to detect her looking at him. The moment she made eye contact with Hugh, her heart skipped a beat.

It felt as though Hugh had caught her red-handed secretly looking red-handed.

It felt terribly awkward.

“Where should I start eating?

“Erm… I meant the food. Should I just eat it? Or do I have to cut it first?”

“Any way you like. Despite its appearance, it’s very soft and feels just like cake.”

“I see. Thanks.”

Jane hurriedly hid inside the kitchen.

“Why did I feel like I was caught doing something *****?”

“This is clearly my place!” Copyright Nôv/el/Dra/ma.Org.

Jane shook her head.

She must have been so hungry that her mind was out of service. “Why else would I keep getting distracted?”

She picked up the fork and knife and cut a piece of black substance.

She held it up to her mouth and swallowed her saliva.

After mustering her courage, she closed her eyes and put the food into her

mouth.

When the flavor exploded in her mouth, Jane hastily opened her eyes wide.

Excellent.

It was simply excellent.

Jane had never eaten such delicious food.

She could not hold herself back and wiped out all the food in a few bites.

Jane finally snapped out of her thoughts.

That was it.

“Is it all gone?”

Even though her stomach was full, the food was simply delectable.

It had won Jane’s affection, so she promptly walked up in front of Hugh.

“Mr. Croft, can you please tell me how this was made?”

“Do you want to know?”

Hugh seemed to already expect Jane’s question.

He smiled as he stood up.

His six-foot, three-inch physique left a shadow over Jane

“Erm… You can talk sitting down

As Hugh approached her, Jane had trouble breathing

Even though Hugh did not reveal the slightest ev: intentions, a man like him spelled danger regardless

Jane could even sense her blood racing

The temperature was rising.

“Is it a normal chemical reaction because both of us have Type Omegal blood and are getting close?”

As Jane pondered, Hugh’s scent had already wafted into her nose.

She had never been this close to Hugh before.

Hugh had a nice faint scent.

Jane could not put a finger on the scent.

It was a pure mystery just like Hugh.

Just by smelling his scent, Jane could sense an itch inside.

It felt as though she was a 100-year-old vampire awakening after a long slumber. She had finally found some tasty blood.

She wanted to take a bite.

“If you like it, I can bring some over every day.

“This was created using a high-tech machine. It was blended using the

perfect ratio of ingredients.

“Humans can’t make this.”

Hugh’s sexy voice made Jane snap out of her thoughts.

His warm breath scattered by her ear.

Jane’s sensitive ears pricked upward like a rabbit.

“Mr. Croft, you don’t have to come so close to me when you talk. I’m not deaf, so I can hear just fine.”

Jane automatically retreated by a few steps

Damn it.

Jane had unexpectedly gone into a daze owing to Hugh’s scent

This had never happened to her before

Perhaps Hugh’s Type Omega blood had a different kind of taste It was the only plausible explanation.

It caused Jane’s Type Omega blood to react and affected her judgment.

“Is this one of the side effects of having Type Omega blood?”

“I only got closer so that I could smell your scent.

“Otherwise, I won’t be able to rest well today.

“Let’s hope both of us can have sweet dreams tonight.”

Hugh was candid about his purpose.

Jane had not signed the contract to sleep with Hugh.

Once they did, they could completely eradicate all the side effects of having Type Omega blood.

After interacting with Jane a couple of times, Hugh was finally able to sleep.

at night.

Sadly, it was not enough, so he did not sleep well.

Hugh wanted to hug Jane and go to bed.

He was very attracted by Jane’s special scent.

It was the scent of someone just like him, and the blood kept calling out to him.

Hugh could not resist Jane and felt obsessed with her.

Jane probably felt the same way.

Hugh had already marked her as prey, so it was impossible for her to escape his clutches.

Jane already belonged to him.
