Beast Love Show: All For Her (by Sylvester Raven) novel Chapter 107

Chapter 107 The Cold Glare

Later, when Shane came to visit the Grant family, she’d run out to make a good impression.

She hadn’t even gotten a word out before he’d given her an icy glare.

“I didn’t know you back then. If I had, I would’ve run toward you, not away.” Shane caught Layla’s hand as she tried to pull away. “Don’t be mad at me, okay?”

That “okay” was soft, the tone lifting at the end. Slightly sexy.

Layla pressed her lips together.

She wanted to kiss him.

She’d never been the demure type.

But with the live stream rolling, she couldn’t exactly do anything. She just gritted her teeth, slid her hand to his waist, and pulled him closer.

Feeling her move, Shane’s eyes curved into crescents. He scooted closer on his own.

[Who saw that? Who made the first move?]

[Prof. Slater, right?]

[No, it was Layla!]

[Too busy to text back, but not too busy to watch the stream?]

[Honey, I’m sorry. But it really was Layla. I screen-recorded it. I’ll send it to you.]

[You two should go on the show. You’d be better than them.]

Hidden from Vanguard’s camera by Shane’s body, Layla lifted her head slightly and brushed a kiss against

his chin.

She felt him go completely stiff. His arms turned to iron around her.

Satisfied, Layla closed her eyes and got ready to sleep.

Shane, on the other hand, was wide awake.

Snakes, well… they had certain needs.

And with the woman he loved warm in his arms, having just teased him like that? No way he was sleeping.

He couldn’t sleep, but he couldn’t bring himself to disturb her either.

His embrace, which had been merely warm, grew hotter.

Now Layla couldn’t sleep either. “If I’d known you had this kind of power, I wouldn’t have bothered with the heated platform.”

“Layla.” Shane’s voice was full of grievance.

Whose fault was this?

She was the one who’d started it without any regard for the consequences. And now she was teasing him for

There was no justice in the world.

Layla didn’t care. She patted his arm and leaned close to his ear, lowering her voice. “Calm down. You don’t want your students to see you like this, do you?”

Shane had almost calmed down. Then she whispered in his ear.

Warm breath, laced with teasing provocation, burrowed from his ear straight into his chest.

All he could do was look, not touch. He was only torturing himself.

He lowered his head to meet Layla’s eyes, then finally turned his back to her.

Layla laughed softly and was about to turn away too when he caught her hand, and from behind, pulled her arm around his waist.

What else could she do?

Spoil her boyfriend, she supposed.

“You’re really not selling it?” Shane’s voice came out soft, almost tender.

“Not if you say that thing is really that valuable. If we actually find it, this won’t be a dead planet anymore.”

“It could still end up being worthless.”

“That’s what I have you for,” Layla smiled.

She was broke. Shane wasn’t.

She got a boyfriend so he could help her when she needed it. Otherwise, what was the difference between him and Caleb?

Hearing her admit so openly that she relied on him made something warm settle in Shane’s chest.

She’d included him in her plans.

“Yeah. You have me.”

And the Slater family behind him.

The live chat, however, was anything but calm.

[What did I tell you? All that talk about hiring females, and in the end, she’s still leaning on a male.]

[Been saying it for years. Females are only good for having kids and raising them. The idea of them having
