Chapter 2: Get Out of My Clothes Or Get Out Of My Room?

Angela POV

I stopped talking and stopped resisting, just lying quietly in his arms.

Who wouldn't be captivated by him? Some of the younger women at the company even joined just because of him.

As I started to unbutton my shirt, I noticed he was still standing there, watching

I paused, the soft sound of the water filling the silence between us.

"Can you... can you leave?"

He didn't move. Instead, he leaned casually against the doorframe, a smirk tugging at the corner of his mouth.

"Get out of my clothes or get out of my room?"

Heat rushed to my face.

Just hours ago, he'd been with Christina at the club. And now, here he was, flirting with me like nothing had happened.

What was I to him? A backup? A distraction? Something to pass the time with?
