Mission: From Divorcee to Millionaire novel Chapter 710

Selena had a hunch that Ava might have locked the door on purpose, trying to play matchmaker. She got where Ava was coming from, but Ava didn't really grasp how guys can be. The more you hand everything over on a silver platter, the less they appreciate it.

Selena didn’t bother explaining. Instead, she tilted her head up to meet Everett’s teasing gaze. Her voice was steady, "There's something about you that hasn't changed."

"Oh?"

"You're still as cocky as ever."

Everett wasn’t fazed by Selena’s words. He was sure she didn’t mean them. His eyes wandered over her lovely eyes, the curve of her nose, and settled on her soft, pink lips. In the dim light, they looked so tempting, almost begging for a kiss.

His mind drifted back to memories of their passionate times together—in every place and position imaginable. Those moments were intense and unforgettable.

His gaze grew more intense, his body warming up. It had been a while since he felt this kind of urge, and from the moment he saw Selena today, he wanted her.

Guys often follow their desires, even when love isn’t in the picture. His hand slipped under Selena’s shirt, expertly teasing, as his lips brushed her ear, his voice low and husky.

“Shall we?”

If she wanted it, he was more than willing to oblige. From what he remembered, their chemistry was always electric. If it wasn’t, she wouldn’t have been the only woman for him all this time.

But now, his mind was filled with heated images, and yet, he felt a disconnect. He was eager to see if it was as incredible as he remembered.

Before Selena could say anything, he leaned in, capturing her lips in a kiss, feeling her slight tremble. His blood seemed to heat up even more, and his heart raced.
