Aaron Xavier looked as though he'd just been jolted awake. Nathan Lockwood's warning had been completely straightforward, a direct expression of his displeasure.
And once Aaron Xavier processed it, he found he couldn't argue.
He glanced at Zoe Pierce, who had remained silent, and was now rendered completely speechless.
'He felt a little wronged, yet there was nothing he could do.'
He had no self-control.
He'd known since last time. When he was around her, he had none.
She didn't have to do a thing. Her mere presence was a temptation, a seduction.
But now, not only could he no longer bring himself to say anything cruel, he found himself wishing she *would* seduce him.
"What else do you want to ask?" Seeing Aaron Xavier's gaze drift toward Zoe Pierce again, Nathan Lockwood narrowed his eyes and wasted no time in showing him the door.
His time with Zoe Pierce had been interrupted, so naturally, no one could expect him to be in a good mood.
