Mission: From Divorcee to Millionaire

Chapter 243

Everett's voice was deliciously husky, laced with a magnetic pull that sent shivers down her spine. Selena almost rolled her eyes at the classic line about 'just cuddling, and not going all the way'-what a load of nonsense. She knew better.

"I'm really tired," Selena declined once more, trying to maintain her composure.

But Everett was having none of it. He captured her wrists, gently pressing them to her cheeks, his lips trailing soft kisses down her collarbone and nibbling at that little beauty mark of hers. The sensation sent a jolt through her, her porcelain skin blushing a deep pink, and her eyes becoming hazy with emotion.

"Mrs. Bennett, you want this too, don't you..." he teased, his voice a low chuckle in her ear. Selena felt a confusing mix of embarrassment and indignation. Despite her resistance, he had a knack for awakening her desires.

Sensing her resolve wavering, he coaxed softly, "You don't have to do a thing-just lie back and enjoy. If it gets too much, I'll be gentle, alright?"

Selena's grip tightened, her mind still battling her heart.

Everett leaned his forehead against hers, nuzzling her tenderly like a big, affectionate puppy. "Just this once, okay?" he pleaded.

He let her feel his eagerness, whispering, "See, it misses you."

"Mrs. Bennett, let me..." he murmured, gently taking her earlobe between his lips. "Selena, I missed you, is that okay?"
