Julian’s eyes darkened as he took her hand and pressed it to bhis /bcheek. “Because you taught me so well, mydy.”

    Sienna looked at him, puzzled. “What do you mean?*

    Julian leaned over her, gently pressing her down onto the bed. He brought his lips close to her ear and whispered, “Because when we’re in bed, even though you’re obviously loving it, you still keep begging me to be gentle.”

    bSienna’s /bcheeks instantly burned. She pushed him away, grumbling. Julian, you never behave yourself”

    Julian’s hand moved to her earlobe, gently caressing its soft fullness. He let out a low chuckle. “My bdy/b, do you want me to please you

    tonight?”

    Sienna turned her face away, warning him, “Don’t you dare.

    “Rx, mydy. It won’t hurt the baby. The doctor said pregnant women need to let boff /bsome steam. Come on… let me hold byou/b,” bsaid /bJulian with his nose tip caressing her earlobe.

    Aiden slumped in bhis /bseat at the restaurant, looking so downcast that other diners couldn’t help but sneak bnces /bat bhim /b

    He couldn’t really refuse to help, but still, he felt pretty conflicted.

    He had no idea what kind of person this boss would turn out to be

    He thought, b‘/bbMaybe /bshe’d be fat, burly, bbald/b, or even sporting a full head of gray bhair/b?

    But Alden never expected bthat /bboss to be ba /bgorgeous blonde woman.

    He wasn’t really into foreign women. Compared to their tall, slender figures, he preferred girls who were gentle and sweet, the kind that made men want to take bcare /bof them.

    Hello! I’m Demi bBale/b. You must be Mr. Aiden Hart? Demis eyes sparkled the moment she saw him–he was even more attractive in person than in his photos.

    She was already falling hard for this man, willing to bepletely love–struck and even bwalk /bdown the aisle with him.

    Aiden breathed a sigh of relief. She was nothing like what he’d feared–instead, she was a textbook foreign beauty, with curves in all the right ces and blong/b, fair legs that actually got his heart racing a little.

    Aiden extended his bhand /bas he introduced himself. “Hi, I’m Aiden Hart.”

    They chatted for a bit, both pretty much knowing what the other was after. Aiden had been with plenty of women over the years, so he could instantly tell that Derni was seriously into him–like, she looked ready to have her way on him.

    Of course, Demi could see that Aiden wasn’t all that interested in her, but so what? She liked him enough to just ignore bit /b

    bDemi /bnced at the ss bshe’d /balready drugged “Mr. Hart, here’s to a sessful partnership with your daughter. Cheers!”

    Aiden knew it was bdone/b, so he smiled and clinked his ss with hersb. /b

    But after drinking, he immediately felt dizzy, his mind growing fuzzy, Demi was quick to move closer. “Mr. Hart, are you alright? What’s wrong? Are you bdrunk/bb? /bCome on, let me bhelp /byou bupstairs /bto get some rest

    Demi supported him up the bstairs/bb, /bba /bbtriumphant /bsmile tugging at the bcorners /bof her mouth.

    Aiden was all hers now.

    Meanwhile, Winifred was starting to build her own power base. When Fay caught wind of her ns, he sought her out.

    Fay said seriously, “Winifred Hart, no offense, but the way you’re doing things is pretty slow. I’ve got a foolproof n that might suit you

    better.

    Winifred toyed with a small object in her hand, then looked up at him, “Go bon/b. I’m listening”

    Fay bsaid/b, “The Umbre Organization has this unwritten rule: if you manage toplete 50 ss A dangerous missions in a byear/b, you get promoted to team leader.

    “That means you could form your own squad–one that’s yours alone–even though you’d still technically be part of the Umbre Organization
