I Refuse to Divorce novel (Zoe and Mason) novel Chapter 33

"You've got issues. Don't forget, she's someone's wife."

…

Zoe was alone in the dressing room as she took off the little black dress, revealing her fair body adorned in black lingerie, glowing softly under the dim yellow lights.

With a creak, the door swung open. Zoe was startled, immediately covering her chest with a shirt and turning to see who it was. To her surprise, it was Mason.

He stared at her, leisurely closing the dressing room door behind him.

Zoe bit her lip. "Mason, this is the women's dressing room!"

Mason seemed to ignore her words.

He walked toward her, removing the shirt from her hands before she could react. Then, with one hand, he pressed her against the dressing room counter, examining her under the lights.

This situation made Zoe uncomfortable. Goosebumps covered her body as she trembled slightly. She dared not speak, afraid of attracting others into the room.

However, Mason did not do anything else. He just quietly observed her as if they had never been a married couple, and this was the first time he had seen her body. There was not a hint of desire in his eyes.

After a while, he loosened his grip on her.

Zoe silently turned away, fingers trembling as she changed into her clothes. Trying to sound nonchalant, she asked, "Mason, what is the meaning of this?"

Mason's mood was complicated.

In the past three years of marriage, he had never cared about Zoe. He did not take it seriously when she proposed a divorce, thinking Zoe belonged to him. Unexpectedly, so many men were coveting his wife, and he had not noticed before.

He moved closer to her from behind.

He breathed gently against her delicate earlobe. The smell of tobacco filled up her nose. Her ears turned a faint pink. It was incredibly enticing.

Mason lowered his gaze, his Adam's apple bobbed involuntarily. His voice was husky as he spoke, "How should I describe you, Mrs. Lockwood? A femme fatale?"
