Meeting The One For Me

Chapter 15
Overwhelmed by the drug's effects, Audrey's phone slipped from her grasp.
She pinched her leg painfully, trying to force clarity back into her foggy mind.
However, the agonizing pain was no match for the burning desire that engulfed
her.: She gritted her
teeth in torment.
Nathan's words echoed in her drug—clouded brain, “You still owe me last wish.
Let someone take
you home.”
Drenched in sweat, she wrapped her arms around herself. Tears streamed down
her cheeks. It was a mix of unbearable physical agony and emotional torment.
Heat surged within her like lava boiling in her veins. Cold water could help.
Before meeting Nathan, she had requested several buckets of ice and filled the
bathtub with cold water.
Like last time, she had to endure it until it passed. Forcing herself against the
wall, Audrey stumbled into the bathtub filled with ice.
Outside the door, Ryan heard the faint sound of water over the phone and nearly
crushed it in his grip. He ended the call then instructed his assistant, “Get the
hotel manager to open the door. Bring
the car to the hotel entrance.”
The assistant nodded and stepped aside to make a call.
Soon, the manager arrived and swiped the key card to unlock the door.
Ryan cast a backward glance at Charles, who appeared pale and unsettled.
Ryan's eyes, cold and daunting behind his gold-framed glasses, conveyed an
unmistakable sense of warning.
“Hand him over to the police,” Ryan ordered coldly.
“Mr. Lambert! I'm Nathan's brother-in-law! It wasn’t my fault. I was just following
orders! Nathan is in Room 3020, Cloudsea Pavilion. We were together! You can
ask him...
“Take him to Nathan. Tell him I want an explanation for this,” Ryan snapped
impatiently.
He strode into the room and headed straight for the bathroom. He found Audrey
in her down jacket, soaked in the icy water.
Her wet head rested on the edge of the bathtub. The marble floor was flooded
with water and ice. Her pale, trembling fingers gripped the tub desperately.
Ryan swiftly shed his wool coat and suit and lifted her from the bone—chilling
water. The icy water had soaked through Audrey's down jacket. He peeled off her
heavy, waterlogged jacket then carried her out of the bathroom.
The ice—cold water had barely kept Audrey's frantic urges at bay. But now, held
close to a source of warmth and enveloped in a masculine scent, her feverish
state flared.

Her last shreds of rationality shattered.
As her frigid body met the soft bed, she struggled to open her eyes. Her vision
was blurry.
She could see Ryan's sharply defined jaw, the movement of his throat, and the
way his wet shirt clung to his body. Everything sent a jolt through her.
Ryan pulled a comforter over her. Audrey, acting on pure instinct, grabbed his tie
and kissed him.
Ryan's hand braced on the bed. His muscles tensed, freezing in place.
Audrey's kiss was unskilled and driven by desire. The drug had stripped away
her consciousness.
As she hooked her freezing, pale fingers around his neck to deepen the kiss, she
tried to pry open his lips awkwardly. A fierce fire burned within her, yet her body
couldn't stop shivering from the cold.
Ryan's hand firmly pressed against the bed. He tensed in her grip. His entire
body was rigid and motionless.
Tormented by the fierce battle between ice and fire, Audrey clung to the man’s
scorching body like at lifeline. Despite being controlled by a drug that made her
yearn for a man, her tears flowed incessantly.
Ryan held Audrey's face as he gently pressed her into the bed.
Unexpectedly, she turned her head and kissed his hand. Her icy hands wound
around his arm. Ryan's hand tensed. A jolt of electricity numbed his right hand,
spreading through his entire body.
His eyes darkened as he withdrew his arm, pressing her back onto the bed
again.
“Audrey!” he exclaimed.
Her eyes fluttered open. Her gaze was unfocused.
The city’s neon lights outside the window illuminated his sharp features, casting a
colorful glow on his prominent nose and lips inches away from hers.
Audrey spoke with a heavy nasal tone, “Ryan... Mr. Lambert, I feel so terrible...”
“Don't worry, I'll take you to the hospital,” he assured her.
He extracted his tie from Audrey’s hands and bundled her up in the comforter.
However, his touch, scent, and voice only intensified her desires and feelings of
emptiness.
Audrey bit her lower lip in agony. Her breathing became erratic. Reaching for
Ryan's hand, she pleaded hoarsely, “Help me, please...”
Ryan paused, his dark pupils deepening like an abyss. “Audrey, I'm not Nathan. I
can't help you.”
The mention of Nathan was like a needle piercing the softest part of her heart. It
unleashed the restrained torment in her blood, gnawing at her.
As Charles had said, the drug's potency intensified over time. She couldn't hold
on any longer. She

had completely lost her sanity.
She wanted the man before her eyes!
Half of Audrey's face was buried in the comforter, and the other half was
obscured by damp hair.
Her hoarse voice was full of pain. She whispered, “Ryan, please help me!”
Her plea, light as a feather, ignited the long—dormant volcano within him,
releasing the scorching lava he had kept sealed in his heart.
His gaze darkened, his breath growing heavier. Boiling blood thundered in his
chest.
Ryan's grip on Audrey's wrists tightened. The veins on his hand bulged.
He brushed away the wet hair on her face. His throat rolled with an intense,
smoldering desire. ” Audrey, are you sure?”
“Ryan. Help me, please,” she begged, her voice clouded with desire and tears,
luring him into a willing descent.
Audrey felt enveloped in his searing heat as she sank deeper into the soft bed.

She remembered Ryan's deep gaze, mesmerizing and disorienting. During their
passionate kiss, a sudden pain made her clench the sheets tightly.
She cried out his name before her lips and tongue were entwined in his burning
softness.
Her fingers, curled in either pain or ecstasy, were pried open by his strong,
defined hands as he forcefully intertwined their fingers.
She was lost in a sea of desire induced by the drug, tossed about like a small
boat on turbulent waters throughout the night.
