Divorced CEO's Forgotten Wife Strikes Back (Riley and Bryce) novel Chapter 345

Chapter 345 Agreeing to His Terms

Even though their relationship was contractual, Lara had never once introduced Shawn to her friends.

Unless he came to her first, she never called him, never texted him, never sought him out.

Yet she was the one who had chased him relentlessly, pushing until he finally agreed to date her.

Now, she acted as if she couldn’t wait to distance herself from

him.

Is her affection truly that brief?

Has she already stopped liking me?

His mind flash back to the scene of handsome young male escorts surrounding her, and to the male escort she claimed was “just a friend” feeding her drinks.

A sharp unease shot through him.

Does she think I’m too old?

Not as attractive as those young, beautiful escorts?

“Put me down-” Lara started to protest, but her wor1 died as

bite.

“What are you doing?” Lara hissed, glaring at him as he pinned her against the back of the bedroom door.

He still held her in his arms, though the position had changed from horizontal to vertical.

Her feet could not even touch the floor.

“What am I doing? I’m your boyfriend. This is perfectly natural,” Shawn said. “If you don’t want to fall and make noise, you should wrap your legs a little tighter.”

Lara felt suffocated with frustration. “What do you want?”

“Do you really not know?” He pressed his body closer.

Her face stiffened. She could feel exactly what was happening physically.

“Don’t. Riley is outside.”

He leaned in so close she could feel his breath. “We’re a couple. Riley understands that couples lose control sometimes.”

“You… you can’t do this,” Lara whispered, her cheeks burning. “Anything else you want, I’ll try to give you. Just not this.”

She had no idea how provocative those words were for him.

They made him want her right there.

“I… I’ll try,” she repeated quickly.

“Then call me every day,” he said.

She frowned. “Every day?”

A knock sounded. Riley’s voice came from outside the door. “Lara, are you in there?”

Lara’s entire body went rigid with panic.

Shawn leaned in even closer. “Why don’t we open the door like this?”

He reached toward the knob.

Lara slapped her hand over his. “Fine, fine! I’ll call you every day.”

Then she raised her voice toward the door. “I… I’m changing clothes. What is it?”

“I just wanted to tell you that I’ll go to the office with you in the morning,” Riley said.

Okay,” Lara replied. “Sleep early.”

Once the hallway went quiet, Lara finally let out a breath.

“And another rule,” Shawn said. “You’re not allowed to hang out with any male escorts anymore. While we’re dating, no cheating. And don’t deny our relationship in public. If someone asks who we are, you tell them you’re my girlfriend.”

Lara frowned.

The rules are piling up.

The first is fine… but that second one…

“If I can’t cheat, then you can’t flirt with other women either.”

“Sure,” he said without hesitation.

His quick agreement surprised her.

“Okay then. I agree. Now put me down.”

“Not yet,” he murmured, burying his face against her neck and inhaling deeply.

“Shawn, don’t go back on your word,” she whispered anxiously. Riley was in the next room. If anything happened, Riley would know instantly.

“If you don’t want me to take you right now, then don’t speak,” 4/5

struggling to control.

For years, his physical appetite had been nearly nonexistent. Sometimes he wondered if something was wrong with him.

Yet the moment he touched Lara, he turned into something wild, something starved.

Is she my psychological weakness?

Had being dumped by her damaged him so deeply that he couldn’t accept other women?

Or was it simply because she was the only one who could shatter his restraint? The only one who could make him want

like this?

Lara didn’t dare move.

It took Shawn a long time before he finally lowered her to the

floor.

“Lara… do you really not like me anymore?” he whispered.
