After Divorce Billionaire Ex Found Me Pregnant (Leonica and Gabriel) novel Chapter 5

“Lloyd Riley, I’ll make this a night for you to remember.”

It was like a promise, or maybe even a declaration, but regardless, it was one Anastasia was determined to keep and she knew just how to do so.

Over the course of years, she had dealt with boys like Lloyd, players, the call themselves. They waltz into your life, mess up your emotions and end up using you as a one night stand.

Anastasia’s first experience at that had been painful, so right now, as she walked back to where she and Lloyd had been seated, she wondered how Lloyd would feel if the tables were turned on him.

“You done?” Lloyd asked as she took her seat from across him, fingers curling around the glass of her whiskey.

“Yes. The bathroom here didn’t really have much to offer.” She flashed him a smile, deciding to move on to her plan rather than delaying an further. “So, do you have any plans after this?” She asked, placing the tip of her glass on her lower lip and looking at Lloyd through her lashes.

He narrowed his eyes at her sudden question and the look in his eyes.

Was he missing something? Did something happen back at the bathroom?

Or was it perhaps the whiskey?

Whatever the answer was, Lloyd had it to thank.

“Are you asking me if we’re going back to your place or mine?” He asked.

“Maybe,” She purred, leaning in. “But if you ask me, I’d prefer your place. We can always do a repeat of the other day.”

Lloyd was surprised by her forwardness, but he didn’t have a single complain. If she was willing, he was more than willing.

“Then let’s head out.” He said, reaching for his wallet and paying their bill.

Anastasia watched him and couldn’t help but smile. Teaching his stupid ass a lesson was going to be more fun than she had experienced in this shitty, expensive looking night club.

Lloyd held out his hand, helping her out of the barstool and once they were both standing, they left the nightclub, his arm wrapped around her waist.

They were silent on the drive back to his place, but the tension between them was high, and not just that, the sexual tension was even higher.

Lloyd had to resist the urge to reach over and place his hand on her tights.

Be a gentleman, he reminded, not wanting things to progress too fast with Anastasia and he’d end up causing her discomfort.

That was the last thing he wanted tonight.

“We’re here.” He said, parking the car in his driveway and walking around to open the door for her.

“Such a gentleman.” Anastasia teased as she stepped out, purposely closing the proximity between them and staring into his eyes as she did so.

Lloyd gulped. She was playing a dangerous game, and he wasn’t sure he could keep himself together if she kept doing that.

“I’m a man of class, you see.” He replied and began leading the way towards his house. “Something many of your ex’s didn’t have I presume.”

Anastasia laughed, genuinely, because what Lloyd had said was right. She had dated a total of 11 men who claimed to have wanted to be serious with her, but it was all a lie, a façade to get into her pants.

And sadly, Lloyd was going to be number 12.

Her dating history truly was questionable.

“I’ll take that laugh of yours as a confirmation.” Lloyd said as he unlocked the door and they stepped in. “Wine? Whiskey?” He offered.

Having another round of drink right after leaving a club, how healthy.

“Just water.”

Her answer had Lloyd looking back at her, his gaze once again narrowed on her. “Just water, eh?” He laughed and Anastasia found that the sound, free from all the club distractions, was quite pleasing to the ear.

As soon as the thought crossed her mind, Anastasia rebuked it, reminding herself that this was just a little revenge project to show Lloyd how girls felt after he messed with them.

“Yeah. Just water. I’m not much of a heavy drinker.” She answered.

“Really? Because you look like the type of girl who has a drink in her hand 24/7.” He said as he poured himself white wine then grabbed a bottle of chilled water from the fridge. “But I guess I’m wrong.” He leaned on the island which was between them and stared into her eyes as she cracked the cap open. “It looks like there’s a lot I still have to learn.”

Anastasia hummed, taking a sip from her water before looking at him. “Well, those information don’t come easy. You’d have to earn it.”
