My Extraordinary Wife

Ashlyn did not pay him any mind as she was long used to this by now. She would stay here tonight so she would not have to book a hotel room. The matter she was here for was tomorrow anyway.

Her gaze drifted toward Lucas. His side profile was incredibly attractive, especially now with the dim lighting softening the normally harsh features of his face. His dark eyes were focused on his laptop screen while his lips were tightly pursed in concentration. It made for a very alluring sight.

Inexplicably, desire flared to life in her, and she had the sudden urge to kiss his lips.

It should be a crime to look this seductive and alluring. Gah! Restrain yourself, Ashlyn! He may look ravishing, but he’s a narcissistic, arrogant, mean, and domineering jerk! You mustn’t be seduced by his charms! There are plenty of better other men out there.
