Betrayed, Then Back For Blood

Chapter 112

Chapter 111

The lunch was a real feast, packed with all of Briar’s favorite dishes.

The spicy and numbing cuisine was her absolute dream food, Briar had two plates of food just to show how much she loved it.

Full and satisfied, Briar trailed after Ashton back to his office, and then followed him straight into his private break room.

The lounge was huge, made up of two rooms, each with a big bed. The furnishings were super simple—just a cozy little sofa and a wardrobe.

Once the door was closed, it would be a closed private world. No one could bother them.

“You can sleep in the inner room. No one’s ever stayed there, and the bedding is all new,” Ashton said, gesturing toward the room.

Briar nodded. “Okay.”

But instead of going over right away, she turned and asked, “How about I tuck you in first?”

Ashton’s heart skipped a beat. He nodded. “Okay.”

Then he walked over to the window and pulled the curtains shut.

The room instantly dimmed, and the sensor–activated warm light by the bed came on automatically, making the whole place feel cozy and

perfect for sleep.

Briar could tell that Ashton went out of his way to create a good sleeping environment, but it didn’t really do the trick.

Ashton grabbed his pajamas from the wardrobe and headed to the bathroom to change. When he came back out, Briar was already settled

on the sofa.

Ashton walked over to the bed, lifted the covers, and lay down as if it were the most natural thing in the world.

He pulled the blanket over himself, folded his hands over his chest, and closed his eyes.

Briar kept watching him until he closed his eyes, ready to sleep.

Only then did she pick up a stock market magazine from beside the sofa, lower her head, and start flipping through it.

The first three times she’d coaxed Ashton to sleep, Briar had always sat right next to him. The two of them were so close that Ashton would
