Devil's Prisoner of Love by Prefer

Unlike Julian, who always dressed in a black suit and overcoat, Gore, in Aurora's eyes, was like a flamboyant peacock, as flashy as he could possibly be.

"Does a normal person drive a convertible in the middle of winter? Aren't you afraid of freezing to death?" Gore muttered to himself, "No wonder I felt like the heater wasn't working today."

Aurora was speechless. This man was the epitome of a high-IQ, low-EQ playboy. She had sensed it the first time they met.

It had been nearly six months since Gore and Aurora last saw each other. The only times she'd seen him were on the news or in magazines. Compared to the Aurora from six months ago, she had changed significantly. At least now, she understood the ways of the world and no longer kept everyone at arm's length with her icy demeanor.

"Insulting me the moment we meet-you're such a troublemaker," Gore said, clearly unbothered. After all, no other woman dared to speak to him like this, and strangely enough, he enjoyed it.

It was a dynamic where one teased, and the other willingly played along.

"It's late-are we having breakfast or lunch?" Gore glanced at his watch. It was almost 11

a. m. He remembered how this woman never used to sleep in, yet when he called earlier, it was clear she'd just woken up.

"Lunch, I suppose. Honestly, I'm starving," Aurora replied.

"Your man hasn't been feeding you well? Why don't you come with me instead? Three meals a day, guaranteed." Gore's tone was teasing, but beneath the surface, there was always a hint of flirtation.

Though Gore and Asher seemed similar on the surface, they were vastly different. Both were cheerful in Aurora's presence, but Asher was like the warming sun, while Gore was a scoundrel.

From the moment Aurora met Gore, he had never been serious. He spent every day finding ways to lure her into his bed. Aurora had always believed he saw her as prey- something he couldn't have, which made him all the more determined.
