"I should beg you?"

"Yes, beg me." With a snicker, Theodore leaned forward, closing the small distance between them.

"After all, it won't be the first time, and neither will it be the last."

Those conceited words annoyed Ariana greatly. She struggled to break free from his hold. Suddenly, the car jerked, jolting her toward him. Her Lips pressed against his. The softness of his lips caught her off guard.

A muffled groan escaped from Theodore's mouth.

Ariana's brain seemed to stop functioning. Her widened eyes were so close to his that she could see her reflection in them.

Many seconds passed before Ariana finally came to her senses. She realized she was supporting herself with her hand on Theodore's crotch!

Time seemed to have stopped while the awkward kiss lasted. A deafening silence fell in the car as soon as it began moving again. Ariana pulled away from Theodore and rubbed her Lips with the back of her hand. Her cheeks turned red in a split second.

Theodore moved to the opposite side. He stared out of the window, looking unusually embarrassed. He swallowed hard as he tried to conceal the bulge in his pants.

The humming sound of the engine was the only sound that could be heard as the tension continued to build up.

Ariana didn't have the courage to look at Theodore again. She couldn't stop thinking of how soft and warm his Lips were, and the bulge she felt while her hand rested on his crotch. These thoughts were driving her crazy.

The car suddenly jolted and halted again. Caught off guard, Ariana fell to the side. Her forehead hit Theodore's hard shoulder. The pain made her cry out and brought tears to her eyes.

Theodore stretched out one hand to help her up. Then he turned to Horace.

“Why the hell are you driving so recklessly?"

Horace replied apologetically, “I'm sorry, sir. It wasn't intentional. There's a car accident ahead. We are stuck in a traffic jam."

Ariana pressed her palm against her aching forehead. She looked out of the window and saw that there was a crowd ahead. A private car had crashed into a taxi.

“I guess we will have to wait for a while," said Horace, turning off the ignition.

Theodore didn't say anything. When he saw that Ariana was still curiously looking out of the window, he was about to say something. But her face suddenly changed. She wrapped her scarf around her neck and got out of the car in a hurry.

“I'LL be back in a jiffy!" she uttered before running off. Horace quickly wound down the window and shouted behind her, "Where are you off to, Ms. Edwards?"

Ariana didn't look back or respond. She soon vanished into the crowd. Horace turned to look at Theodore.
