Chapter 134
Yann’s deep, magnetic voice carried a hint of laughter that sent shivers through Audrey like a gentle breeze. His broad, muscular chest vibrated slightly as he chuckled.
“Oh. Right.” Audrey’s face turned oven redder. She looked down shyly, her heart pounding like crazy. All she wanted was to escape from this situation that made her pulse race.
The moment Audrey tried to turn away, an arm tightened around her waist. Yann had taken off his boxing gloves, and his strong fingers gripped her slim
waist like a vice.
Before Audrey could react, Yann pulled her to the side with one powerful motion. Her back hit the padded wall behind her.
them so close she could feel his heated breath against her skin. His lips brushed her ear as he whispered,
Yann’s tall frame toomed over her, bringing th “What are you running from?”
The warm breath on Audrey’s sensitive ear sent a shiver through her entire body. An electric current shot from her ear down to her toes, making her scrunch up her shoulders instinctively.
Audrey raised her hands to push some space between them, but when her palms hit his moisture–wicking t–shirt, she realized it was completely soaked
with sweat.
Through the thin fabric, Audrey could feel his tight muscles underneath–all power and strength, like waves churning beneath a calm ocean surface. Through the thin fabric, she could feel every taut muscle beneath–radiating raw power and explosive energy, Eke turbulent waves surging beneath a calm sea.
The contact burned like fire against her palms, and Audrey yanked her hands back quickly. She couldn’t look at the obvious desire in his eyes, so she turned her head away
But Yann wasn’t letting her off the hook. Those intense eyes followed her every move, demanding an answer. “Do you like it?”
Three simple words, but they hit Audrey’s heart like a sledgehammer. She pressed her lips together tight and twisted the hem of her shirt between her fingers.
Her lips pressed tightly together, her fingers unconsciously twisting the hem of her clothes. “I’m so nervous right now, I can’t even put it into words,” she thought, her mind in complete chaos.
The panic inside her was beyond words. Her heart was practically beating out of her throat, and the intense nervousness made her squeeze her legs together. “Gosh, yes! I like it, Audrey thought.
Audrey wasn’t just attracted to Yann’s strong, powerful body. She was completely captivated by his handsome, heart–stopping face.
Under Yann’s intense gaze, Audrey finally worked up the courage to lift her head. The moment their eyes met, she saw herself reflected in his deep eyes – flushed and shy and adorable.
Time seemed to freeze. Even the distant sounds of students hitting punching bags and coaches yelling faded away completely.
Audrey took a deep breath, then stood on her tiptoes and quickly packed his chin before he could react. Her answer was like throwing gasolme on a fire. Everything exploded instantly.
Yann captured her hesitant lips with his own, kissing her hard and desperate. His strong fingers traced her spine, sending electric currents s her tailbone straight to the top of her head.
Audrey let out an unconscious whimper, her hands pushing against him one second and clutching his shirt the next. Her legs went weak, but what little sanity she had left made her push the relentless man away. “There are people around.”
Yann’s eyes were flushed red as he swallowed hard “So if there weren’t any people. His voice sounded like he’d swallowed gravel, rough and hoarse, but with an irresistible pull that made her knees weak..

Audrey gave him a soft punch with her fist, then turned and rushed toward the bathroom. If she stayed any longer, she might lose all self–control Just
her mind had flashed with some very inappropriate images.

Yann took a deep breath, trying to calm the storm raging inside him. His hand slipped into his pocket, adjusting himself as his body betrayed just how
affected he was.
“Are you serious about Ms. Henderson?” Ivan walked over, completely unaware of what Yann was going through right now. He just wanted to protect his favorite teacher.
Ivan looked up at Yann, clearly scared but trying to act tough. “You’re definitely gonna get old way before me. If you mess with Ms. Henderson, when I’m as strong as you someday, I’ll pay you back 10 times worse.”
Yann slowly turned around. The hunger in his eyes vanished, replaced by ice–cold menace. His eyes, deep as an abyss, studied the cocky little kid in front of him. The heat in his gaze vanished, replaced by a frosty glare.
Setting aside Yann’s untouchable status, just his height and build alone made him look like a towering mountain that could crush anyone beneath it
Forget 13–year–old Ivan–even Miguel, who’d been wheeling and dealing in business for years, would probably crack under vann’s razor–sharp stare
Ivan felt the crushing pressure and instinctively wanted to look away. But something flashed through his mind that suddenly gave him courage. He lifted his head and met the man’s gaze head–on.
His voice was steady and determined. “Ms. Henderson doesn’t have any family. From now on, I’m her family. I’m gonna study hard and protect her when ! grow up. I’ll have her back.”
Yann’s voice was low and dangerous. “Who says she doesn’t have family?!”
Ivan’s heart jumped, and he was about to blurt out “Clayton told me when Yann continued, “I’m not just her family, I’m her partner, and I love her deeply.
Luckily, Audrey didn’t wear makeup, so splashing cold water on her face wasn’t a problem. It took forever for her burning cheeks to cool down.
Audrey grabbed some tissues from her bag and dried her face, noticing her lip was cut. How long has that old man been starving exactly? she thought,
After pulling herself together, Audrey
by walked out of the bathroom looking totally calm, like she hadn’t just turned into jelly back there.
Yann and Ivan had gone to shower, so she sat in the lounge area and pulled out her phone to check the photos she’d secretly taken. She couldn’t tell if she was just good at candid shots or if Yann was naturally photogenic.
Every single photo looked like magazine cover material. One shot really got her. It was the moment Yann threw a punch, his hair swept back from his forehead, and a single drop of sweat caught right in front of his fierce, wild eyes. The contrast was insane.
Audrey was obsessed with that photo. She even wanted to kiss her screen. She quickly looked around to make sure no one was watching, then hurriedly saved all the stolen photos to her cloud storage.
“Let’s go.” Yann’s deep voice suddenly came from right above her.
Audrey’s hand jerked and she almost dropped her phone, frantically locking the screen as she jumped up.
Audrey noticed that Ivan, who had been all hostile toward Yann just minutes ago, wasn’t just backing down anymore. He was practical

Something had definitely happened while she wasn’t around. She slowed her pace and walked over to Ivan’s side. “Did he give you a talking to while was gone?”
Ivan shook his head.

Ivan glanced at Yann first, then at Calvin. Only after they’d left the club did he quickly lean into Audrey’s ear and whisper, “He’s not just some regular
