Ayla didn\u2019t expect anything else that night, but she still got a sweet message from Casey. \u201cHey, did you get home safe? Congrats on your divorce. Wishing you joy every day.\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\n
Ayla smiled.\u00a0<\/p>\n
Wow, he really knows how to make people feel cared for. He was sweet, charming, and thoughtful.\u00a0<\/p>\n
He was destined to do well in the entertainment world. She truly believed Casey had a bright future.\u00a0<\/p>\n
\u201cI\u2019m home. Thanks.\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\n
Casey replied instantly with a good night emoji and didn\u2019t say anything more.\u00a0<\/p>\n
He stopped exactly where he should. Ayla liked that.\u00a0<\/p>\n
If he kept chatting and she didn\u2019t feel like replying, she\u2019d start worrying about hurting his feelings.\u00a0<\/p>\n
She tapped her forehead. Her heart was way too soft sometimes.\u00a0<\/p>\n
House No. 18, Norton Road.\u00a0<\/p>\n
Halle\u2019s bedroom sat on the third floor of the villa. The room had big vintage cross-pane windows-classic trendy Trensea\u2019s architecture style.\u00a0<\/p>\n
But tonight, the room looked nothing like its usual tidy self.\u00a0<\/p>\n
Men\u2019s and women\u2019s clothes were scattered everywhere. A pair of heels-one at the door, one under the\u00a0<\/p>\n
bed.\u00a0<\/p>\n
The room smelled like perfume, wine, and other things.\u00a0<\/p>\n
Halle\u2019s head throbbed. Her whole body ached, especially her lower back. But what really made it hard to breathe was the man\u2019s hand resting across her chest.\u00a0<\/p>\n
Memory rushed into her mind.\u00a0<\/p>\n
Halle\u2019s eyes flew open. She stared at the ceiling, speechless.\u00a0<\/p>\n
Last night, she had gone to James\u2019s party with a clear goal-connect with him and get closer to Zheron\u2019s network. The party was fun; she drank a lot, but she wasn\u2019t drunk.\u00a0<\/p>\n
When everything wrapped up, because Ayla asked James to take care of her, he felt responsible for getting her home safely.\u00a0<\/p>\n
Halle had been happy about that until they ran into her ex on her doorstep.\u00a0<\/p>\n

They had agreed to a simple three-month relationship. Just for fun. But somehow, her ex suddenly decided he had fallen in love and wanted to continue.\u00a0<\/p>\n
Halle couldn\u2019t stand people who agree to play the game and then suddenly talk about true feelings.\u00a0<\/p>\n
If true feelings were worth something, they wouldn\u2019t have started casually in the first place.\u00a0<\/p>\n
He didn\u2019t understand the rules, and worse, he came back to bother her. Halle hated that.\u00a0<\/p>\n
James, who had seen everything under the sun, spotted the problem instantly. One second he was a gentleman. Next, he slid an arm over her shoulder and gave the guy a cold smirk. \u201cBeat it.\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\n
He was handsome, dangerous, and carried himself with a sharp edge. The ex felt small and walked away like a defeated puppy.\u00a0<\/p>\n
James cashed in the favor and asked if he could come inside for a bit.\u00a0<\/p>\n
Halle didn\u2019t see a reason to say no. She poured him a glass of water, but James quickly spotted her cabinet full of expensive liquor. Her home was stylish, warm, and full of personality. He grew curious, opened one of the good bottles, and the two of them drank and talked for hours.\u00a0<\/p>\n
And then, somehow, the talking moved to the bedroom.\u00a0<\/p>\n
Now Halle stared down at the hand resting across her chest. Last night, this man couldn\u2019t keep his hands off her breasts. And even while sleeping, he still wouldn\u2019t let go.\u00a0<\/p>\n
Who sleeps like this? she thought, completely baffled.\u00a0<\/p>\n
Her mood felt awful.\u00a0<\/p>\n
Yes, she wanted connections in the Zheron, but getting them through a night in bed felt a little too questionable.\u00a0<\/p>\n
She let out a quiet sigh and went back to staring at the ceiling, utterly speechless.\u00a0<\/p>\n
A deep, low voice brushed past her ear. James whispered, \u201cThinking about how to toss me aside?\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\n
His warm breath hit her skin, and Halle felt a sharp shiver run through her whole body.\u00a0<\/p>\n
She turned her head, and there he was, James propped up on one arm. He showing off a very well-built chest, complete with faint marks from last night.\u00a0<\/p>\n
Her eyes moved up and met his hunter eyes. His gaze was filled with teasing.\u00a0<\/p>\n
His mouth was curved in a smirk, yet somehow he managed to look pitiful, like he was the one who\u2019d been wronged.\u00a0<\/p>\n
Halle was stunned by how shameless he was.\u00a0<\/p>\n
She was about to push him away when James leaned down again and pressed a kiss to her neck.\u00a0<\/p>\n

He already learned about her weak spots after last night. So, he went straight for them on purpose.\u00a0<\/p>\n
Halle\u2019s whole body turned limp, but she still shoved him hard. Halle pulled the blanket around herself and\u00a0<\/p>\n
sat up.\u00a0<\/p>\n
He actually fell back onto the bed, but he didn\u2019t look upset at all. He just lay there, watching her.\u00a0<\/p>\n
She looked him in the eyes, her voice firm and serious. \u201cI have a fianc\u00e9. I\u2019m not taking responsibility for you.\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\n
James smiled. \u201cGot it.\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\n
\u201cMr. Reagen, you\u2019re from a high place. I can\u2019t reach that. I\u2019m sure you won\u2019t cling to me either. We both had a good time last night. No one lost anything. It\u2019s over now. If we meet again, we pretend nothing happened. Okay?\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\n
James answered smoothly, \u201cOf course.\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\n
Halle let out a quiet breath of relief. She glanced at the bedroom door, then back at him. \u201cMr. Reagen, are you staying for breakfast, or are you leaving now?\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\n
James suddenly looked curious. \u201cSo, no one lost anything, huh?\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\n
Halle blinked, her mind racing. She noticed the smile tugging at his mouth. The next second, James pushed himself up and wrapped an arm around her waist. He whispered in her ear, \u201cYou were pretty loud last night.\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\n
Halle finally caught the evil intention hiding under that smile.\u00a0<\/p>\n
She wasn\u2019t the type to let anyone have the last word. She shot back right away, \u201cMr. Reagen, you were quite desperate yourself.\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\n
