Lucas carried her into the bathroom, a hint of amusement playing in his eyes as he washed her. "See? My service is quite thorough. Are you comfortable?" After the intense passion they had just shared, Aveline's body felt weak and limp, but her tone was icy. "Very comfortable. How much do I owe you?"

Lucas laughed in disbelief. This woman-she was treating him like some hired plaything!

Aveline met his gaze coolly.

Lucas didn't hold back, bending down to capture her lips in a deep kiss, only letting go when he felt her breath become uneven.

Aveline reached up to push him away, but he simply resumed washing her.
