Chapter 1287:
“You're completely wasted.”
Her cheeks were squished between his palms, her lips forced into a pout. “No more water. Go to sleep.” She tried
to push him away.
“Stay.”
Eric held on, his fingers warm against her skin. His eyes, barely open, searched her face before he leaned in and
kissed her.
Hadley froze. Her eyes flew open in shock.
The man holding her didn’t stop; his kiss only grew deeper, more consuming.
Out in the hallway, Ayla clutched the room card, pacing in tight, frustrated circles.
She'd been standing here for an hour.
At last, Eric showed up, but he wasn’t alone. Hadley was with him. Just minutes before that, she had seen the
group message confirming the night shoot had been called off.
Why now, of all times?

Hadley had gone inside with Eric. Which meant... was she staying the night?
Ayla burned with frustration. She had planned everything down to the last detail—yet somehow, it was Hadley

Hadley lifted her hand, reflexively trying to push Eric away.

him. Her pulse raced, her breath cin quick bursts.
And then, almost without realizing it, her eyes closed and she leaned in, returning his kiss.
That response seemed to light a fire in him. Encouraged, Eric grew bolder.
His fingers grazed her neck as he slowly untied the knot near her collar.
The shawl slid from her shoulders—and just like that, Hadley jolted awake. What was she doing? Had she really
let herself melt into his kiss?

“Stop!”
The words shot out as she shoved him away, bolting from the bed and rushing toward the door. She had to leave
—right now.
“Hadley!”
She'd only managed a couple of steps when she tripped on something. Her knees gave out, and she crashed to
the floor.
She braced her hands on the carpet, struggling to rise. But her limbs betrayed her, limp and drained. And it was
too late to run away now.

He murmured her nagain and again as he leaned in. His kisses csoftly, one after another.
