Devil's Prisoner of Love by Prefer

Aurora and Mio clashed the moment they saw each other, sparks flying between them. Neither had any intention of yielding.

"I've finished handling the company's matters, but I still have other business to attend to. Unlike you, Miss Montgomery, I'm not so free," Mio said sarcastically.

"Is that so? Then I must thank you for your hard work, Mr. Vice President," Aurora retorted with a cold huff before turning on her heel and heading toward the garage. Mio walked in the opposite direction.

He wasn't going to handle business at all. Instead, he was headed to the nearby pet market. Last night, he had promised Rebecca that he would bring her a pet-a perfect opportunity to strengthen their connection.

Aurora, on the other hand, had plans to watch a movie with Julian that evening. As she reached the garage, a car window rolled down. It was Julian.

She was surprised. "What are you doing here?"

"What? Not happy to see me?" Julian smiled, the corners of his mouth lifting into a playful grin. "Do you really expect a pregnant woman to drive herself? Get in. I came specifically to pick you up."

"Alright, I won't refuse then," Aurora said as she got into his car. Truth be told, she had spent the entire previous night dreaming about Julian.

In her dream, the two of them were on a deserted island with only a white cat for company. They had a wonderful time together on the island.

But later, the dream turned into something indescribable. She dreamed of them doing things she couldn't even bring herself to think of now. The vividness of the dream was shocking-so real that Aurora couldn't even look Julian in the eye today.

Julian noticed that Aurora was unusually quiet, staring out the window as if lost in thought.

"Did something happen at work today? You seem a little down," Julian asked gently, always attuned to her emotions and hesitant to let even the smallest hint of unhappiness pass unnoticed.

Aurora couldn't possibly tell him that she had dreamed of something so inappropriate. It was just a dream, yet she could still clearly remember the texture of his skin, every detail of his body.

Damn it. What on earth was she even thinking?
