Mission: From Divorcee to Millionaire

Chapter 303

In that moment, she couldn't help but feel overwhelmed, a wave of fear and hesitation washing over her.

Seizing the chance when he was momentarily distracted, Selena gave him a hard shove, attempting to leap off the kitchen island. But Everett, with his seasoned instincts, anticipated her move. His long arm swiftly wrapped around her waist, pulling her back to him. Her legs were slender and straight, her ankles gracefully defined a sight to behold. His body was wedged between her legs, and from behind, her legs dangled by his waist. His broad shoulders and long legs starkly contrasted her petite frame, creating a scene both beautiful and decadent.

"You've done this so many times before, are you still scared?" Everett murmured teasingly in her ear, his voice lazy yet intensely captivating, while his actions were swift and commanding.

His eyes were filled with a deep joy.

Selena's body moved involuntarily. She couldn't steady herself, frightened of slipping, and eventually, she clung to his neck, resting her head on his shoulder.

Tears spilled from her eyes, but Everett gently kissed them away.

When she woke again, Selena found herself in bed, the room darkened as night had fully settled in. Everett was nowhere to be seen.

Her body ached, and her legs still trembled.
