Mission: From Divorcee to Millionaire

"You..."

Before Selena could finish, the man gently cupped her chin, his tongue slipping into a dance with hers, a dance filled with fiery intensity.

In his eyes, she was like a tempting dessert, and he seemed eager to savor every bit.

Everett found this feeling strangely captivating.

Being with her was like being under a spell; his famed self-control seemed to vanish. All he wanted was to let go and bask in the allure of their chemistry.

The abrupt end to their evening in Northtown had been haunting him. Even if she hadn't returned to Newport, he knew he would've found himself back in Northtown soon enough.

But here she was now, right before him, and he didn't want to wait another moment.

Selena's tongue tingled from his kisses, her breath nearly stolen away. Dizzy, she summoned all her strength to nudge him back just a bit.

And then, she slapped him.

Everett remembered being slapped by Selena more times than he cared to count, almost viewing it as part of their complicated dance.

But this time felt different, almost like it was the first time.

His handsome face darkened slightly, his eyes turning intense and shadowed.

A dangerous aura filled the air.

Selena, catching her breath, showed no sign of fear. She flicked on the bedside lamp, her gaze cool and detached.

"Everett, what do you think I am?"

Everett, brimming with unruly desire, wasn't in the mood for a debate. He leaned in again, brushing his lips against hers, his voice a low, husky murmur with a teasing edge.

"Selena, isn't it natural to feel drawn to each other? Don't pretend you're not feeling it..."

They had always been so in sync, and he could tell when she was feeling it.

Whether it was last time or now, her body clearly had its own desires. Why not give in and fulfill each other's needs?

Selena looked into his eyes, his handsome features just inches away. She raised her hand, tracing his brows, down his strong nose, her fingers lingering lightly on his lips.

There was an undeniable allure in her touch.

This time, Selena didn't deny it. She said, "Yes, I feel it."

Everett's large hand caught hers, kissing her fingertips. "Selena, your honesty is beautiful, it makes me want to..."

He whispered raw, passionate words in her ear.

"Just give in to me, and I'll make sure you feel incredible, okay?"

Selena stayed silent. When Everett leaned in to kiss her again, she her arms around

The room's temperature soared, and the air seemed electric.

Everett's hand found her slender waist, his body taut with tension.

He couldn't help but remember seeing Rhett's arm around her waist earlier. The thought fueled the fire in his eyes.

She was meant to be his!

Just then, Selena suddenly kicked him in the stomach, catching Everett off guard and sending him tumbling to the floor.

Everett was taken aback.

Selena calmly wrapped herself in the blanket, sitting up with a playful smile as she tidied her hair.

"Sorry, Mr. Everett, I just changed my mind."

Everett was silent for a few seconds, his face flushed with frustration.

Grinding his teeth, he said, "Selena! You did that on purpose!"

Selena blinked, feigning innocence "Mr. Everett, it's not like that. I admit I have needs too, but I'm picky. Without feelings, I can't go through with it."

"You want to be with me without giving anything back emotionally. Why should I

agree to that?"
