Chapter 315

“Neil, you’re better at keeping cool than I am, aren’t you?” I sidled up to Nell and took his hand, gently stroking his palm. “Didn’t you say that Ethan Foster smells fishy? He’s probably keeping a wary eye on you. If we want to catch him out, we have to make him believe that we’ve split”

“Do I need to make it up to you?” I was genuinely surprised. Was Neil pushing it?

“Yeah, you do.” Without waiting for my response, he pressed his lips on mine as his tongue expertly explored my mouth.
