tell you."

"Is it money you're after?" Freya dismissed his nonsense with a cool voice.

Brendan didn't harbor genuine affection for women. This current flirtatious persona-just one of his most practiced masks.

"Who doesn't want money?" Brendan casually set his wine glass aside, his legs still crossed in effortless elegance. "But right now, it's the least of my priorities. Compared to that, I'd much rather have..."

He purposely trailed off.

Freya's brow twitched faintly. "What?"

"You." His grin was so dangerously captivating, it seemed to draw the whole world into silence.

Freya held his gaze, utterly unshaken.
