Chapter 39
Stella froze as if her body was stuck. Then, she slowly turned her head around.
Keegan was lying on his side next to her, and his eyes were half–closed. One side of his face was buried in his pillow, while the other visible side showed a frown. He was displeased to be woken up out of the blue.
Looking down, Stella’s hand was still stately resting on Keegan’s chest.
She abruptly took back her hand. Her whole body went numb, her brain felt rusty, and she was not able to get her thoughts straight. Stella then asked an obvious question.
“Why are you here?”
Keegan did not even bother to open his eyes. “I thought you rented me for the night?” he replied lazily.
The memories of her being drunk were suddenly coming back to Stella.
“How much for a night?
“Your good looks deserve a higher price.
“I want to sleep with you,” she recalled what she had said.
Stella was so embarrassed that she wanted to dig a hole in the ground and hide.
There’s no way I said that!‘ She thought.
She pretended not to hear what Keegan said. She grabbed her clothes and attempted to get up.
But, suddenly, Keegan’s arm swooped in and pulled her back into bed. “Don’t run. You haven’t paid me.”
