"Mrs. Hawk, Mr. Hawk attended several meetings today. He rushed home in the afternoon, and now he's here to pick you up. Please don't mind him," the driver explained, gesturing for me to enter from the other side of the car.

I glanced back and saw Yasmine watching me with a worried expression from a distance. Not wanting her to worry, I ignored the driver's suggestion, bent down, and slipped into the car, all while pressing my body close to Nicholas. I straddled him, facing him, and grinned at the driver, signaling for him to close the door.

Recently, Nicholas and I had been living recklessly, so the driver wasn't surprised. After the door closed, the man beneath me

fluttered his eyelashes.

When he opened his eyes in the dim light, his pitch-black pupils were revealed.

He smiled helplessly, patting me lightly on the bottom. Then he closed his eyes again, his voice raspy and sensual when he asked, "

His scorching hand caressed my back a few times, and just those few touches made him lose focus

Our bodies pressed close together, and he wasn't content with just the warmth between us. His hand slipped under my clothes, rubbing against my back.

He tilted his head slightly, his tongue brushing against my lips. "I

I'm not jealous!" I instinctively tightened my arms around his neck and said, "I'm just worried you'll blame me. After all, we've been married for so many years, and I've never really gotten the upper hand with her." Nicholas's suit pants were beginning to feel at

"Isn't it true?" I pulled away from him slightly, showing my disappointment.

He pinched my waist and said, "You ungrateful little thing. I've been working day and night just so I could take you on a trip."

"Oh?" I teased, my fingers playing with his Adam's apple. "Where to?"

"I'll clear my schedule, and you can choose the destination. I'll have Ms. Gardner plan the itinerary."
