Love at First Sight? Mr. Harrison Has Been Scheming All Along-Chapter 81: "We’ll Register Our Marriage First Thing Tomorrow Morning.
Rory Linden said nothing. She rose slightly on her toes, wrapped her hands around the man’s neck, and tilted her head up to kiss him.
The instant their lips met, the man’s palm clamped onto her waist. His other hand rose, his well-defined fingers threading past her slender neck and up through her hair to cup the back of her head, pulling her closer.
Rory Linden’s impression of Sean Harrison had always been one of self-possession, restraint, and maturity.
She had never been kissed before, but she had imagined kissing him would be a gentle affair.
She never expected the man to be so dominating, like a conqueror laying siege.
The man’s kiss was urgent and fierce.
Rory Linden felt the air draining from her lungs, making it difficult to breathe.
"Mmph..."
Rory Linden had no choice but to push against the man before her.
Only then did Sean Harrison straighten up slightly, his gaze lowered.
Her previously cherry-pink lips were now flushed red, a shade similar to her cheeks.
’Originally, I wanted to be a gentleman, to take things slow. But the moment she kissed me, years of longing, of forbearance, even the resolve to remain by her side as an elder—it was as if a seal had been broken. All my emotions came pouring out, transmitted through the medium of a kiss, without a trace of restraint.’
Sean Harrison just stared at the woman so close to him.
A dark tide surged in his ink-black eyes.
’Even through the multiple layers of her gown’s petticoat, Rory Linden could still feel the metal buckle of his belt, and an even more obvious presence...’ 𝗳𝚛𝗲𝕖𝚠𝚎𝚋𝗻𝗼𝕧𝗲𝐥.𝚌𝚘𝐦
Sean Harrison fought the urge to kiss her again and said, "There’s none at home, but I don’t want to stop."
Rory Linden knew what he meant.
She was inexperienced, but as a doctor, she was well aware of the consequences.
Before she could speak, Sean Harrison continued, "We’ll go get our marriage license first thing tomorrow. No need for any prenuptial assessment..."
As he spoke, he couldn’t resist lowering his head to kiss her again.
He spoke between kisses, "If I cheat, I’ll leave with nothing. We’ll have the grandest wedding, I promise to marry you in style, I..."
The man’s words came out in fragments.
Rory Linden found a gap and said softly, "Mr. Harrison, actually... I can take the pill this time."
Sean Harrison was visibly taken aback.
He stood up straight, his long fingers leisurely tidying the stray strands of hair by her ear. "Never mind," he said slowly. "Let’s stop here for today."
Ever since Sean Harrison had acquired his current status and wealth, countless women had wanted to get into his bed.
Countless women had wanted to marry him, to become his Mrs. Harrison.
But now, the first time he had suggested it, Rory Linden had chosen to take the pill herself.
’I feel like I just said something that really killed the mood.’
Sean Harrison’s arousal had clearly subsided somewhat.
"Shall we get the license tomorrow?" Sean Harrison asked again. "Every word I just said still stands."
"Mr. Harrison..." Rory Linden looked up at him. "I’m a bit traditional. I’d like to meet... Auntie Rhodes first."
She used to call Charlotte Rhodes "Grandma Rhodes."
Now that her relationship with Sean Harrison had changed, she had to change how she addressed her.
"And if she doesn’t approve?" Sean Harrison asked.
Rory Linden was at a loss for words.
’I did think about this problem.’
Her mother was a housekeeper for the Harrington Family.
And Sean Harrison was different from Miles Harrison. Miles was, at best, just a regular second-generation heir with money and connections.
Sean Harrison, on the other hand, was a titan who controlled his own network, wealth, and core technologies.
Logically, there was no way Charlotte Rhodes would ever agree.
"Then... I’ll just have to do my best to impress her?"
Rory Linden forced a smile.
’I’ve noticed Sean Harrison likes to use the word ’forever,’ but I know in my heart... that he and I might not have a forever. Still, even if we only have a short time together, I’ll cherish it for a long, long time to come.’
Sean Harrison leaned down to kiss her forehead. "Alright, then. Leave this to me."
The distance between them didn’t increase.
Rory Linden reached out for the man’s hand, looking at him with wide, hopeful eyes. "So... Mr. Harrison, are you my... boyfriend now?"
Sean Harrison looked down at her at the sound of her voice.
He couldn’t help but lean down to kiss her lips again. "In that case, shouldn’t you be calling me by my name?"
Rory Linden complied readily. "Sean Harrison."
Her voice was soft and sweet.
Sean Harrison struggled to control himself and turned to go to the bathroom.
-
「That night, in Sean Harrison’s dream.」
He pinned both of the woman’s slender wrists with one hand, leaning over to kiss her lips again and again.
He watched as those soft lips became slightly swollen.
He saw her beautiful eyes fill with tears, her gaze fixed on him, filled with obvious panic, fear, and terror.
He grabbed a tie and haphazardly wrapped it around her eyes.
’Don’t let her see me.’
He couldn’t let her discover that his possessiveness for her was so strong it was irrepressible, uncontrollable. That even with her by his side, there was still an unfillable black hole in his heart.
When he woke again, it was broad daylight.
After Sean Harrison dropped Rory Linden off at the hospital, the first thing he did was call Henry Lancaster to help him pick out contraceptives.
Henry Lancaster had had countless girlfriends and was quite experienced in this area.
His first reaction upon hearing about this was—
"Bro, don’t tell me you’ve never used these before."
As Henry Lancaster asked, he already knew the answer.
They had made it crystal clear last time that this was a first love for both of them.
He just hadn’t expected that his handsome, charming, and wealthy big brother was actually an innocent virgin.
If word of this got out, it would really be...
’It would be hard for people not to suspect he had some kind of physical defect.’
Henry Lancaster didn’t dare say any of this, so he diligently recommended the products he thought were good to Sean Harrison.
"Big Bro, these ultra-thin 0.01 ones feel amazing. It’s like wearing nothing at all. I love using them." After speaking, Henry Lancaster immediately contradicted himself. "But if a guy hasn’t done it before, he might not be able to handle this much stimulation. Maybe you should start with something else, like these textured ones."
Sean Harrison glanced at them and said, "A box of each."
"Is one box gonna be enough?"
Henry Lancaster grabbed five boxes of each.
Noticing Sean Harrison’s disdainful expression, he quickly said, "This is on me. My treat. A gift for you, Big Bro."
His big brother was in his early thirties and was only now having his first time.
As his little brother, even a hundred boxes wouldn’t be too extravagant a gift.
Henry Lancaster put the ten boxes of condoms into the shopping basket, only for Sean Harrison to take some out.
Henry Lancaster didn’t stop him and continued, "Wanna buy something else? Or this, it’s remote-controlled, really enhances the feeling. This ring isn’t bad either?"
Sean Harrison didn’t even glance at them. "That’s enough. Let’s check out and go."
After they checked out and left, Henry Lancaster said earnestly, "Big Bro, how about I share some of my experience with you? Let me tell you, if a guy is inexperienced, his... stamina won’t be great. Sister-in-law will definitely look down on you."
Sean Harrison walked a few steps forward before turning back and uttering two words: "Tell me."
