The Divorce Prescription

Celine stirred slightly, trying to sit up.

But as soon as she moved, Adam woke up. He reached out and pulled her back

into his arms.

"You're awake?" he asked.

Celine stayed quiet and buried her face in his chest.

Adam's eyes were still heavy with sleep, but the usual cold restraint on his features had softened, giving a hint of lazy and seductive charm.

He reached out and gave her cheek a gentle pinch.

"What's wrong? Are you mad? You won't speak to me now?"

Of course, she was mad. Last night had not been consensual. Celine wanted nothing more than to ignore him right then.

Adam smirked and placed a kiss on her forehead. "Even when angry, you're still so cute."

Celine gave his firm chest a brutal twist in retaliation.

Adam flipped over, pinning her beneath him.

"Still not satisfied from last night? Should we go for another round?"

Celine's lashes trembled. After the exhausting ordeal from last night, she couldn't believe he still had the energy for more.

"I said no! It's already morning. We haven't heard anything from Carly yet, and I'm really worried about Bella and Mrs. Alvarez."

Adam was naturally worried, too. He lowered his voice and comforted, "No news might be good news. Carly's probably too overwhelmed to make a move."
