When he opened the door, a hard punch landed on his face, making him stumble back. Standing there like a beast ready to devour his prey, Henry's eyes were spitting fire, and the veins on his neck bulged with fury. The man, trembling badly, began to crawl backward as Henry advanced with great strides.

"How dare you touch what's mine?" he roared, his voice echoing like a hungry beast. The raw power in his tone reverberated through the room, sending chills down everyone's spines. His eyes, burning with fury, were like twin infernos, threatening to incinerate anything in their path.

I-I-I don't know what you are talking about, sir. Please forgive me if I offend you in any way." His voice trembled, barely audible in the oppressive silence. He could barely speak in the presence of Henry, the man's icy gaze piercing through him like a sharpened blade.

*dark chuckle* You don't know what I am talking about, right? Now, you will remember everything," said Henry, who kicked him hard on his stomach. The man groaned in pain and fell on his knees.

"Take this trash away and tie him in my basement. I will personally teach him a lesson," Henry ordered, and his men dragged the offender away. I lost my senses when I discovered they were plotting against my baby. How dare he? The thought of him touching what's mine drives me crazy. I took a deep breath and went inside the room to see my baby. She seemed uneasy; maybe the drug she took was too strong. I cursed them under my breath and tried to shake her awake..

"Cindy, wake up." Henry shook her, but she remained unresponsive. Her dress had slipped off her shoulder, revealing more than he wanted to see. His eyes darkened with concern and anger. He gently tried to cover her properly, but as soon as she sensed his touch, she instinctively pulled him closer.

"I need you now; I'm feeling hot," Cindy murmured, cupping his face and leaning forward to kiss him. But Henry pulled back, getting up from her.

"Cindy, come back to your senses," Henry pleaded, trying to bring her back to reality.

"No, I need you now. I'm craving you," Cindy insisted, sitting up and pulling him back over her, her hot breath brushing against his neck.

"Don't do that; you'll regret it, and I don't want to take advantage of your situation."

"I'm willing to do this, and I'm sure I won't regret it. Just do it," she said, her hands roaming over his body. He struggled to maintain control, trying hard not to cross the line.

"Are you sure you won't regret it? Think again; if I make you mine, there will be no turning back," he warned, his voice tinged with care and possessiveness. He was confident in himself; if he claimed her, there would be no coming back.

Annoyed by his talk, Cindy pressed her lips to his and kissed him fiercely. Henry smiled between kisses and matched her passion. After a few intense moments, they broke away, breathing heavily.

"Now that you've started it, let me finish this game, love," Henry whispered before kissing her again, devouring her lips. Cindy's hands moved to Henry's back, while his hands lovingly traced her curves. Between kisses, Cindy opened her mouth, and Henry took advantage of the opportunity, invading her tongue and exploring every part of her mouth. Their saliva mingled, and there was no space between them, not even for air.

I pushed him away and sat up straight, locking my gaze with his without uttering a single word. "Let me show you heaven," I whispered seductively as I slowly removed my top and pants, leaving me in just my undergarments. Then, I pushed him onto the bed and straddled his stomach, a mischievous smile playing on my lips.
