After the CEO Divorced Me, He Wants Me Back (Aveline and Lucas) novel Chapter 970

As the guests trickled out of the beachfront villa, Selena glanced around the now-empty courtyard, her eyes widening slightly. "Hey, where did everyone go?"

She was a little tipsy, her cheeks flushed with a soft pink hue, her gaze hazy and slightly unfocused, adding an extra layer of allure to her already beautiful features.

Aaron gently took the wine glass from her hand, setting it aside before scooping her up in his arms. He started toward the upstairs bedroom, holding her close as her body relaxed into his.

"You haven’t even seen your new room yet. Let’s go take a look," he murmured.

Selena’s limbs went limp, her arms draping lazily around his neck as she leaned into him, her voice soft and dreamy. "New room… what does it look like?"

Aaron smiled, amused by her dazed innocence. "You’ll find out soon enough."

Their master bedroom was on the second floor, the largest in the villa, with elegant double doors leading into the suite. Inside was a cozy sitting area, complete with a sofa, cabinets, and a TV. As they walked further in, a round bed adorned with luxurious red bedding came into view, surrounded by soft, flowing drapes.

Aaron gently laid Selena down on the bed but didn’t pull away.

Instead, he hovered over her, his eyes darkening as he took in her flushed face.

"Selena, you’re my wife now."

Her foggy mind slowly processed his words, and she blinked up at him, her hands reaching to cup his face. A sweet smile spread across her lips as she whispered, "Husband."

At that moment, Aaron’s restraint snapped. He leaned down, capturing her lips in a deep, hungry kiss, as if he’d been parched for days and had finally found water.

Selena gasped, her breath catching as the intensity of the kiss left her dizzy. "Slow down…"

Her words came out in between ragged breaths, her small fists weakly pushing against his shoulders.

Aaron’s voice was thick and gravelly as he chuckled. "You like it slower, huh?"
