Chapter 226 He Undressed Me With His Eyes

• Clairessa's POV
• It was day two of Randolph’s over-the-top birthday celebration, and today he’d invited us to a laid-back poolside hangout at his private villa. No external guests—just the “storm team,” as he liked to call us.
• This time, I made sure to get to the pool early, before anyone else. I wasn’t about to repeat yesterday’s mistake, showing up late for no good reason, unless you count oversleeping and spending too long getting ready to knock Gabriel off his game. And honestly? It worked. He was all over me.
