Adam Jones's eyes darkened, and the hand that was originally grabbing her ankle suddenly loosened, covering her hand instead. His body spun, causing them both to tumble to the ground.
A muffled groan of pain escaped from Adam's mouth, or more precisely, it was Adam who fell to the ground, with Elly Campbell shielded by him, her whole body landing squarely on top of him.
Her elbow just happened to jab into Adam's chest, causing him so much pain that his expression turned somewhat ugly.
Elly, too, was startled by the sudden turn of events, and it took her several seconds to come to her senses, only then realizing that she was actually lying on top of Adam. Their posture looked quite intimate.
Elly's cheeks burned, and she quickly tried to push herself off the ground. However, just as she was halfway up, Adam pressed her back down onto his firm chest.
