Lyanna’s lovely face was contorted into a twisted mask of jealousy. “I’ve been in love with him since we were kids. I promised myself I would become Mrs. Nolan when I grew up. If even that cheap b*tch Hera can smile and flirt with him, how dare he not even look at me?”
“I can’t stand this insult, Damian. There’s only one family with the name Berry in Lake City, and they might as well be trailer trash. Do you really think the Nolan family can accept a girl from that type of family as a daughter-in-law?”
Damian swallowed nervously. “But didn’t we hear that Lucas was married? There’s already a Mrs. Nolan.”
Lyanna chuckled coldly. Judging by what she knew of Lucas, hell would freeze over first before he ever got married.
“If he were really married, I’m sure we would at least see his wife at one point. That incident where he rescued people on a plane? I’ll bet it’s another underhanded trick to promote South Star Airlines. Just look at their stock prices—it’s been going up continuously over the past few days!”
“Lyanna, I know you’re the smarter one and that you’ve always been more proud of yourself than I am, but I’m worried for you.” Damian heaved a sigh.
Lyanna glanced at him impassively. “I told you, stay out of my business.”
Damian’s lips moved like he wanted to say something, but in the end, he could only nod. “If you say so… “
…
At this moment, in the Whitland Villa, two intertwined bodies grappled back and forth on the large bed.
The air was heavy with musk, sweat and desire.
The man’s low groans and the woman’s breathy whimpers echoed through the room in time with each other, rising and falling to compose a sensuous symphony.
Lucas’s large hands gripped Ashlyn’s waist tightly as he worshiped her, the passion in his dark eyes threatening to melt her into nothingness.
Even as she threw her trembling head back, Ashlyn clung desperately to her last shred of resistance, unwilling to let herself fall into that mesmerizing abyss.
But it was not a choice. Everything was working against her, stripping her resistance away and silencing any refusal.
Lucas groaned, and the sound alone was almost enough to send Ashlyn over the edge. He embraced her tightly. “Lyn… “
Through the pleasant haze in her mind, Ashlyn could vaguely see Lucas’s face grow closer.
Lyn. It was a name she never heard anyone call her since her mother passed away.
It was comforting to hear it again.
