Never Late, Never Away (Vivian and Finnick) novel Chapter 3195

Chapter 3195

The Heart Wants What It Wants

Megan’s self-conscious gaze darted around the room, focusing on anything but Jake. Her brain kept recalling the launch event and the feeling of the warm hand on her shoulder.

That small, simple touch had triggered something unknown inside of her.

“So did you, or didn’t you?” Jake held her chin between his thumb and pointer finger, the smell of his cologne overpowering her as she stared at his handsome face up close, enraptured. Megan knew that this was a trap, but the dazed look in her eyes betrayed her true emotions.

“I did…”

Jake raised an eyebrow, absentmindedly moving his hand upwards to trace his fingers against her face. “Was it because you lied to me?”

Lied…?

Megan blinked owlishly, suddenly snapping back to reality. Goosebumps rose all over her skin; she’d nearly given into his hypnotic gaze and sold herself out.

“I never lied to you.”

She pushed him away with arguably more force than needed, raising her chin high up in the air and huffing.

Why is he so insistent on catching me off-guard? And to think that he’d nearly succeeded!

“Is that so?” Jake looked calm and threw her a casual reply.

He scanned the room they were in, sitting himself down on the bed and patting the empty spot next to him. “Come here. Tell me, what did you and Jonas talk about?”

Jake was never one for niceties or polite introductions; instead, he preferred to order people around. Due to this, Megan felt the uncontrollable urge to oppose him.
