Megan leaned on the leather seat. She had been busy all day, and now she was super tired and didn’t want to even move a tor
It took her a few seconds to react to Sullivan. She turned to meet his eyes and said gently, “I’ve always been like that! It was just you never noticed”
In their three years of marriage, most of their interactions were on bed. As for the other times, he was always working in the company or going to harmony City to meet Cressida.
Megan eventually grew indifferent towards him, no matter how deep she once loved. Now she couldn’t be moved a bit by his abrupt tendemess
Her serene demeanor was captivating
Sullivan couldn’t help himself and leaned in to steal a kiss.
Megan’s hand covered her lips, stopping him short. She gazed up at him with soft eyes, “Sullivan, that two million doesn’t cover sleeping with you. Remember, I’m all about keeping it professional.”
A tendemess washed over Sullivan. He kissed the palm of her hand, his voice husky with emotion, “I’m not asking for anything more then your company, Megan.”

Megan kept silent. She didn’t want to respond yet couldn’t escape. How embarrassing!
Finally, Sullivan seemed content with the embrace. He rested his forehead against hers, his eyes searching her face for a reaction as Megan turned her face away, burying it in the crook of his neck.
It was an intimacy beyond the kissing and caressing, stirring something deep within them.
Sullivan whispered against her nose and then fell silent, simply holding her, as if they were a couple in love, as if they were a devoted husband and wife.
But Megan knew better. This fleeting tenderness was nothing more than a surge of dopamine!
“What’s on your mind?” Sullivan inquired, reaching out with his warm fingers to trace her lips when she didn’t respond. making me some pasta upstairs? I haven’t had much to eat tonight.”
Megan declined, “It’s not a good time.”
Sullivan kissed her gently, “How about $10,000 for a bowl, Mrs. Lowry?”
