She Took The House The Car And My Heart

Chapter 972:

Freya stared at him, completely at a loss for words. She saw through that gentle exterior; it was just another mask he wore. A hint of frustration flickered across her face, and his grin only broadened, amused by her reaction.

Girlfriends were meant to be treasured, yes—but if she ever joined his world of high-stakes missions, he’d hold her to the same unforgiving standards. There’d be no special treatment. Survival depended on it. Nothing about those missions was scripted. Even with him at her side, there were no guarantees—real danger was never as tidy as a soap opera.

While his smile lingered, Freya decided to get even. She pushed up on her toes and pressed a quick, playful kiss to his lips, catching him completely off guard.

Before he could react, she teased him with a mischievous laugh, sparking something hot and electric between them. Ellis’s instincts kicked in. He swept her into his arms, claiming her with an intense embrace.

Freya felt the heat in the air spike.

Just as things hit their peak, she twisted free, darted across the room, and slipped behind a door, leaving him blinking in disbelief. She vanished so fast that Ellis didn’t have a chance to catch her.

He stood there, the taste of her kiss still clinging to his lips, her sweet scent lingering in the air, and a restless fire burning in his eyes that refused to go out.

Ellis stepped confidently toward the room where Freya was tucked away. At the door, he called softly, “Freya, you in there?”
