CHAPTER 42 The Door Wasn't Locked

  His intentions were clear, but wasn't this a bit too wild?

  I distinctly remembered that the door hadn't been locked earlier—anyone could walk in at any moment. How awkward would that be?

  Panicking, I tried to push him away. "I worked the night shift, Lucas. I'm exhausted."

  But Lucas didn't seem to care. He pressed closer, leaning into my ear with a seductive whisper. "No worries, wife. You can rest while your husband does all the work."

  Caught between his teasing advances and my mounting anxiety about the unlocked door, I was torn. He probably realized this wasn't the right place for prolonged intimacy, so he quickly got to the point.

  "Kate, you've seen it now—I have the ability to give you everything you've ever wanted and make you the happiest woman alive."

  Barely able to think straight, I guessed he was referring to his CEO status.
