Chapter 2129

"Tyler, how long are you going to play this time? Let's make a bet. This woman who's supposedly chasing you, she's just trying to get your attention. Give it two months tops, and she'll be gone if she doesn't see any response from you."

Tyler stubbed out his cigarette in the ashtray beside him. "I agree. She's not as clever as she thinks she is," he replied before hanging up the phone.

Just as he put his phone down, he turned to see Athena standing in the doorway. He had no idea how long she had been there. Freshly showered, Athena looked like a ripe peach, ready to be devoured.

Tyler swallowed hard, turned off the lights, and moved into the room. Athena wasn't sure what he was up to until he picked her up and tossed her onto the bed.

"Tyler?" she questioned nervously.

Ignoring her protests, Tyler pinned her down, making her blush furiously as she tried in vain to push him away.

Eventually, after much pleading, he finally relented, pulling her into his arms. Athena lay there trembling, her forehead damp with sweat, clutching the sheets beneath her. Tyler had always joked about not liking to kiss, but he had kissed plenty of women-just never like this.

Athena must have thought he was softening, but in true Tyler fashion, he released her the next moment. "I'll have someone drive you home," he said nonchalantly.

Athena felt like she'd been dropped from cloud nine. She said nothing, though, only struggled to dress with shaky legs.
