“So, do I get a yes, sweetheart?” he murmured.

Kaia cursed him a dozen times in her head but still gave the faintest nod, her cheeks blazing red.

By the time the long kiss finally ended, Kaia was breathless. “You’re such a greedy capitalist.”

All she had asked was for him to help her fake a harmless little act–how had it turned into this?

“Greedy?” Lucien licked his lips, clearly savoring the moment. “Exactly. And I always take my cut–especially from you.”

Before she could respond, he kissed her again, harder this time.

By the time she realized what was happening, it was too late.

Lucien had already taken over, and her mind was too fogged up
