Mission: From Divorcee to Millionaire novel Chapter 200

If Selena hadn't witnessed with her own eyes last night how he and Margot were wrapped up in each other's arms, she might have doubted herself, thinking she was being unfair to him. She tried to force a smile, but it just wouldn't come.

Oblivious to her unease, Everett seemed oddly pleased by the slight accusation in her voice. "What's up? Did you miss me?"

"Not really, just curious," she replied, pushing him away to get up and freshen up.

She was so close that she caught a whiff of the perfume , and that familiar, nauseating feeling began to bubble up inside her again. If she stayed, she feared she might actually be sick.

Mistaking her reluctance for playfulness, Everett grabbed her wrist and pulled her back onto the bed. "Selena, I've missed you too."

His hand slid up her thigh, inching higher.

A chill ran through Selena. She knew what he was after. By now, she could read the signs of his desire like a book. Biting her lip, she felt a mix of hurt and anger.

She had planned to give him a chance to explain, to be honest about seeing Margot. She wouldn’t have felt so disgusted if he had just been truthful. Instead of being honest, he lied and seemed focused only on sex. Her mind was in turmoil, not ready to tackle their issues, and she certainly wasn’t in the mood to indulge him.

But Selena knew his persistent nature well enough. Outright refusal would only seem like a game to him. Her only choice was to feign annoyance. "You... you go take a shower first."

Everett paused at her words, his dark eyes narrowing as he leaned closer to her ear, teasing, "Disgusted with me, huh?"
