Mission: From Divorcee to Millionaire

She heard him ask, slowly and deliberately, "So, are you pregnant?"

day..."

Selena's breath caught in her throat. She couldn't bring herself to meet Everett's eyes, her gaze darting around nervously. Thankfully, she quickly mustered a shy, slightly annoyed demeanor. "Of course not. I'm just concerned because you want to have sex every single Except during her period, his appetite seemed endless!

Everett observed every nuance of her expression; her cheeks were painted with a shy blush, nothing else giving her away. "We're not the type to have kids together," he finally said, offering his answer.

Selena's smile stayed perfectly in place, the curve of her lips unwavering, flawlessly composed, yet inside she felt as if he had ripped her heart apart and tossed it into a freezing lake. Even though she had anticipated this response, it still stung.

Everett seemed oblivious to her inner turmoil, his gaze fixed on her pretty, flushed face. Her lips parted slightly, her whole being so soft and inviting, tempting him to indulge. His eyes darkened, and he grabbed the back of her head, pulling her in for a forceful, dominating kiss, as if he wanted to consume her entirely.

Selena snapped back to reality, her hands instinctively pushing against his chest. "Stop... I'm not feeling well," she pleaded. Not only was she not in the mood for his advances, but she also had to think about the child she was carrying. Everett's lovemaking could be quite rough, and with their baby just a month along, she worried about any possible risks.

Luckily, she had already come up with an excuse about a stomach ache!

Everett frowned with frustration. She was right there, in his arms, and he was no saint. Being so close yet unable to touch her was driving him mad. He either hadn't heard Selena or didn't care; his kisses grew more intense, traveling down to nibble at her tender neck. He eventually pinned her to the soft, wide bed...

Selena couldn't help but let out a pained whimper.

"Everett!" she cried, trying once more to push him away, her voice trembling with fear.

Everett was above her and showed no signs of stopping. He clasped her hands, pressing them to the sides of her face, bending down to envelop her in a deep kiss.

Selena dared not resist too

was hope he'd be gentle enough not

to harm the baby.

Just when she was about to give in, Everett suddenly paused, panting heavily near her ear, his body radiating a heat that threatened to engulf her. Selena looked up at him, bewildered.

After a moment, Everett whispered

in a strained voice by her ear, "Selena, you're such a little

enchantress. Damn it, no matter what I do, it's never enough. Hlave you cast a spell on me?"

His words made his desire all too clear to her.

Selena's heart skipped a beat, panic flaring in her eyes. What was he implying? Was he really in the mood for something new and look to spice things up again today?

Every time Everett got creative, it left her completely drained!

With that thought, her body trembled uncontrollably.
