After the CEO Divorced Me, He Wants Me Back by Riverflow

Aveline looked at him and said, "But I don't need you by my side."

Lucas reached out and tapped her forehead lightly. "Aveline, where did you learn this from? You just asked me to help investigate, and now you're saying you don't need me?" Aveline pulled back a little and replied, "Aren't you expecting something in return?"

If he didn't want anything, maybe she could believe his words. But his intentions were too obvious. She couldn't trust him.

A flicker of exasperation passed through Lucas' sharp eyes. "The only thing I want in return is for you to become addicted to my body and my capability in bed."

Aveline stared at him, utterly stunned.

Was he serious?

"What's with that look?" Lucas guessed what she was thinking from her expression. "Did you think I only cared about my own pleasure?"

He leaned in closer, his deep, magnetic voice dangerously seductive. "Aveline, be honest with yourself-haven't I always made sure you were satisfied first before thinking of myself?" Aveline felt her ears burning, avoiding his gaze. "In any case, there's no future for us."

Lucas' eyes lingered on the flush of her ears. He didn't argue. Whether there was a future or not-that was something they could figure out in time.

Besides, her blushing and flustered reaction was a promising sign. He wasn't in a hurry; he could wait patiently.
