Chapter 148:
He stood before her, gazing down. He could see her—every part of her—clearly.
But he exercised self-control.
“Are you asking to get fucked? Huh?” he ventured.
“In your dreams.” Ellie looked up at Kaiden and, in a sudden move, grabbed his tie, pulling him down toward her.
Taken by surprise, Kaiden found himself bending closer to her.
“I want to…” Ellie began, a grin playing on her lips. She could feel their breaths mingling. “I want to know if the rumors about your impotence are true p>
