Meanwhile, Mitchel's black luxury car slipped out another exit, unnoticed.

On their way to the hospital, Raegan was heavily affected by the drug. She felt unbearably hot and uncomfortable, as if flames were raging inside her. Her thirst was overwhelming, and her limbs felt weak.

A hollow feeling gnawed at her, shaking her already fragile nerves.

She felt like a fish gasping for air on dry land, her mind overwhelmed by an intense sexual desire that was torturous.

"Don't move." Mitchel stopped Raegan from approaching him any closer.

Realizing she was overwhelmed with a strong desire, Mitchel gently turned her away with his hand, trying to prevent her from clinging to him. He knew she would only crave more if he didn't.

Yet, Raegan leaned her head against him, her eyes unfocused, resembling a kitten seeking comfort. She seemed to believe that Mitchel's presence could satisfy her yearning, and she found herself rubbing his chest through his shirt.

Mitchel's well-built chest and masculine physique only heightened her senses. She grew warmer in his embrace, making Mitchel feel as if he was sitting on a bed of needles.

With a noticeable swallow, Mitchel placed his hand on Raegan's shoulder, his voice laced with urgency. “Matteo, how much Longer until we reach the hospital?" he asked.

Matteo, checking his phone and avoiding looking back, replied anxiously, “Reporters have surrounded the nearest hospital of Ardlens, so it's not an option. Another hospital will take about forty minutes.

What should we do?"

Forty minutes... Mitchel sighed, glancing down at Raegan, who seemed too weak to last even four more minutes.

He quickly made a decision, unbuttoning his collar with slender fingers. "Head to the Hilpton Hotel," he instructed. It was only a ten-minute drive away.

Matteo understood and promptly directed the driver to change course.

In the back seat, Mitchel's throat moved visibly. He clenched his teeth as he watched Raegan playfully stick out the tip of her tongue, lightly licking his throat like a playful cat. But it seemed that wasn't enough for her.

Suddenly, Raegan pressed her lips against his in a kiss!

This action sent Mitchel over the edge! He took a sharp breath, his handsome features twisting as he fought to control himself.

Meanwhile, Raegan, eager to express her desire, tried everything she could...

As she moved from Mitchel's throat to his collarbone, she was abruptly pushed against the chilly car window.

A firm hand held her shoulder, and a cold voice commanded, "Stay still. Don't move."
