The tinted windows of the luxurious car allowed those inside to see out, but no one could peer inside. Wendy couldn\u2019t see Stanley, but she could feel the weight of his cold, dark gaze, fixated on her and Nathan. Why had he suddenly shown up to find her?\u00a0<\/p>\n
Wendy turned to Nathan. \u201cNathan, it\u2019s getting late. I think I should head back to my dorm.\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\n
Nathan grinned. \u201cAlright, I\u2019ll come find you next time.\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\n
He got into his Ferrari, and with a loud roar, the sports carped off.\u00a0<\/p>\n
Wendy watched Nathan leave before she walked toward the Rolls\u2013Royce Phantom. She reached for the backseat door and slid inside.\u00a0<\/p>\n
The Rolls\u2013Royce glided smoothly down the road, the luxurious interior illuminated by the neon lights of the night. Stanley\u2019s hands, long and defined, gripped the steering wheel. The soft glow from the streetlights outside flickered across his handsome face, casting shadows and creating an air of mystery, as if his face were part of a classic black\u2013and\u2013white film.\u00a0<\/p>\n
Wendy broke the silence first. \u201cMr. Hawk, did you need something from me?\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\n
Stanley\u2019s deep voice was eerily indifferent. \u201cAre you really dating Nathan?\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\n
Wendy nodded. \u201cYes.\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\n
\u201cYou\u2019re not right for him.\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\n
\u201cWhy\u2019s that?\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\n
\u201cThe Lowes would never consider someone like you. The Lowes want a debutante from a well\u2013matched family. You\u2019ll never step into their door\u2013you\u2019ll only be Nathan\u2019s plaything for a while.\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\n
Since Stanley had always looked down on her, he was probably unaware of how hurtful his words were.\u00a0<\/p>\n
\u201cThen I\u2019ll just play along.\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\n
What?\u00a0<\/p>\n
Stanley\u2019s long fingers tightened around the steering wheel, and he glanced at Wendy through the rearview mirror.\u00a0<\/p>\n
Wendy met his gaze with her clear eyes, her lips curling slightly. \u201cIf I play along Nathan, I\u2019m not losing anything. After all, you all think he\u2019s out of my league. He\u2019s handsome and rich\u2013who wouldn\u2019t want someone like that?\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\n
The air inside the luxurious car thickened to the point of suffocation.\u00a0<\/p>\n
Wendy found it laughable. Stanley had been flaunting his relationship with Jessica, so what right did he have to meddle in her life? \u201cMr. Hawk, if there\u2019s nothing else, please just take me back.\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\n
Stanley gave her a long, penetrating look. \u201cCome to the front.\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\n
Wendy\u2019s heart skipped a beat. What was he planning to do? Was he demanding repayment for the debt she owed him?\u00a0<\/p>\n
She slid into the front passenger seat and fastened her seatbelt.\u00a0<\/p>\n
Stanley glanced at her flawless face. \u201cDo you know what I\u2019m planning?\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\n

Wendy bit her lower lip, het teeth biting the soft, red flesh.\u00a0<\/p>\n
Her lips lost their color with the pressure but immediately bounced back, youthful and full of life, inviting a desire to possess.\u00a0<\/p>\n
\u201cIf you break up with Nathan, I won\u2019t-\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\n
He didn\u2019t finish his sentence because Wendy suddenly leaned over, closing the gap, and kissed his handsome face.\u00a0<\/p>\n
Stanley froze.\u00a0<\/p>\n
Wendy pulled back, her lips curling into a challenge. \u201cCome on, then.\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\n
Stanley\u2019s throat moved unconsciously, his Adam\u2019s apple rolling with a casual mockery. \u201cDo you think Nathan knows you\u2019ll play around with me while you\u2019re with him?\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\n
Wendy stared at him. \u201cI\u2019ll play with you this one time, Stanley. But after that, don\u2019t come looking for me again.\u201d The traffic light ahead turned red, and Stanley brought the car to a halt. His gaze darkened as he looked at Wendy. Wendy\u2019s delicate hand slowly climbed up to rest on his firm shoulder, and without hesitation, she leaned in and kissed his lips. 1\u00a0<\/p>\n
