Tempted Trapped and Too Late to Run

Chapter 750

Kaitlyn's expression turned frosty. After years in showbiz, she'd seen it all-how many top stars had ruined themselves just because they fell in love? Getting caught up with some guy was never in her playbook.

He tilted her chin up, a smirk tugging at his lips. "Giving me attitude now?"

She tried to brush his hand away, but he just leaned in, voice low and teasing. "Kaitlyn, I'm not that easy to get rid of. Maybe I just haven't had enough of you."

She looked down for a moment, thinking it over. Then she said, "Alright. I'll take you to my place and show you the marriage certificate."

Jackson's expression twisted, almost like he thought she was being ridiculous.

She met his eyes. "But my husband's home right now. If you don't mind, you can meet him too."

His hand paused on her chin, something sharp and uncomfortable flickering in his chest. Hearing her say “husband” just felt wrong.
