The youthful charm that once defined him had vanished, replaced by a sophisticated, dangerously magnetic presence that made her fingers twitch with the urge to unfasten the buttons of his tailored suit, to disrupt his impeccable composure.

Stop it!

Lara mentally chastised herself.

What on earth are you thinking? You two are finished.

As the car came to a halt outside her building, she swiftly unbuckled her seatbelt. “Thanks for the ride,” she said, reaching for the door handle, eager to escape the charged atmosphere.

“Ever regret breaking up with me?” His voice sliced through the silence, low and unexpected, sending a shiver down her spine.

She halted, her heart racing. “No. I’m glad it’s over.”

Her hand found the cool metal of the door handle, but just then, his fingers wrapped around her wrist with a gentle yet unyielding grip.

Anger shadowed his usually calm demeanor, though his hold was deliberate—strong enough to prevent her from leaving, yet not enough to cause her pain.

Lara managed a cool, almost mocking smile. “I didn’t hate it. I was really into your body back then. But you know, like someone who eats steak every day… eventually, I just got bored.”

The glare he shot her was sharp enough to cut glass.

“Mr. Morris, would you mind letting go?”

His lips pressed into a thin, tense line before he finally relinquished her wrist.

She opened the door and stepped out, a sense of triumph washing over her. “If you ever find yourself missing the good old days, I wouldn’t mind a fling. After all, sometimes it’s okay to take another bite of something you once grew tired of.”

As expected, a flash of ice flickered in his eyes.

She shut the door behind her and walked into the building, refusing to look back.

A man as proud as him would never let words like those slide without consequence.

The thought made her chuckle softly, the sound laced with a hint of bitterness.

It’s just a man. Life has so much more to offer.

The following day, Lara and Riley found themselves wandering through the bustling mall.
