Rising from the Ashes (Andrew) novel Chapter 1774

Everyone else was stunned, and honestly, so was Andrew.

As Chantelle dragged him along, he gave her a wry smile. "What's this? You mad or something? Announcing our relationship in front of everyone like that? That's not really your style."

Chantelle scoffed. "Hank's stare made my skin crawl."

Andrew blinked. "So, you used me as a shield?"

Chantelle gritted her teeth. "I wasn't using you as a shield. I meant it. I want to stay over at your place tonight."

Andrew frowned. "Didn't we just do it last night? You're kind of on a streak lately."

Chantelle nearly choked on her own breath. Her face flushed red with fury and embarrassment. "Andrew, are you even a man? How could you say that? Fine! Let's say I am insatiable. Just answer me straight—are you in or not?"

Andrew did not hesitate for even a second. "I'm definitely in."

If he even paused for a moment on an offer like that, he deserved to get struck by lightning.

Chantelle said, "I'm leaving now. By the way, don't ever ask me something like that again."

She was clearly pissed, yanking the car door open and sliding into the driver's seat. Through the window, she shot him a sharp, cold look. "I like men who take charge. Someone bold and aggressive. So, don't be afraid to push me around a little. I like it when a guy doesn't ask permission."

With that, she slammed the pedal, peeling out fast.

Andrew stood there, fighting a laugh. He was sure that Chantelle was the second coming of Aspen, both strong on the outside and submissive underneath.

They both liked it when he took control.

Women were total mysteries, and judging a book by its cover was not wise.

Andrew gave Aspen a quick call and asked her to come pick him up. Half an hour later, he was sitting in the passenger seat of her Ferrari, on the way to a new entertainment company.
