The Enchanting Doctor With a Bite novel Chapter 88

Kylie forced herself to stay calm.

Samuel looked at her, amused by how her words didn't match her eyes.

He let out a low chuckle. "If you were scared of me, you never should've messed with me in the first place. Life doesn't hand out do-overs."

Kylie replied, "Maybe not, but everyone's got a weakness—even you. And if you've got one, that means there's always a way to get to you."

"Then clearly, you've got no idea what it really means to cross me." Samuel's eyes narrowed, dark and sharp. His voice dropped to an even lower, yet dangerously calm tone.

"Let me show you what it means to 'fall in love.' You don't know if it's love until you've slept with someone, right?" He dragged out the last few words, low and magnetic. It was the kind of voice that stirred something deep and unsteady in one's chest.

"What do you mean?" Kylie stared at him in disbelief, shocked by how close he was.

"'Backing off' isn't in my vocabulary," Samuel said again, his voice firm. "Owen isn't even on my radar. If I'd wanted him dead, I wouldn't even have needed to make a big show of it—I could take him out clean, no mess, and no risk to my grandfather.

"I'm already digging into the crash. It won't be long before we get answers."

Kylie was forced to meet Samuel's gaze.

Her eyes searched for an answer in his eyes. She was trying to make sense of the dangerously handsome, yet unreadable man standing in front of her.

Allan had once told her to stay away from people she couldn't figure out. But what was she supposed to do with someone like Samuel?

People thought she had him wrapped around her finger—but that was never really the case. In truth, he was always the one holding the reins.

Samuel stared into Kylie's eyes. They were as dark as obsidian and shimmered softly with unshed tears, and every slow blink of hers caught the light.

Despite the haziness in her gaze, Samuel felt like he could see straight through to her soul.

She was impossible to look away from—so beautiful in fact, that she made his chest tighten.
