Chapter 2 Are You So Thirsty for Women, Mr. Fowler?

• His intense gaze was full of hatred, and he grabbed her shoulders in such a tight grip that it was hurting her.
• Bella turned her head away with a frown to avoid meeting his intense gaze. Then, her lips parted and curled with a hint of mockery. "Mr. Fowler, don't tell me you've been single for such a long time that you feel like sleeping with a woman as soon as you see one?"
• "You can't fool me, Nelly. I know it's you." Aaron's warm breath touched her ear. "What a nerve you've got. Not only did you run away from me, but you even got pregnant with my children in secret!"
• Bella replied, "Mr. Fowler, I told you that I'm not one of those f*ck buddies of yours. If you don't let go of me now, I'll sue you for sexual harassment." After that, she turned to meet his eyes in order not to appear so guilty.
• Their eyes were fixed on each other as none of them spoke.
• Suddenly, Bella wrapped her arms around Aaron's neck. Changing the subject, she suggested with a coquettish giggle, "That being said, we're both adults, so it's only too normal for us to satisfy our needs. Considering your figure and your good looks, I guess it's not a big deal to sleep with you." Then, she blew onto his ear and said in a temptingly flirtatious voice, "What do you think, Mr. Fowler?"
• Her flirtatious demeanor made him lose the last shred of reason. "You've got some nerve, Nelly!" he bellowed before sealing her charming red lips in a kiss…
• …
• Bella lay in bed while staring blankly at the ceiling.
• Aaron turned his gaze slightly; his eyes fell upon her chin and lingered on her features with a puzzledly probing look. He didn't feel anything peculiar while kissing her and caressing her cheeks just now. Even though she had makeup on, her face didn't have the feel of a mask.
• Unable to ignore the intense gaze beside her, Bella threw back the thin quilt and sat on the edge of the bed with her back to him. Then, she picked up the bra on the floor and started getting dressed.
• Aaron snatched the bra from her. "I have to put on the clothes that I took off you."
• Bella was speechless. The next instant, she realized what the man was up to.
• His fingertips slid gently down her spine, sending shivers throughout her skin, which was still warm from the passionate affair just now.
• Bella tensed up with a frown without moving at all.
• Aaron teased her for a moment but quickly found it boring. Thus, he fastened her bra, picked up her shirt, and tossed it to her. Then, he got out of bed, stood in front of her, and picked up his underwear from the floor before putting it on so slowly as if he were filming a tempting commercial for men's underwear. His long legs swayed as he moved, and his prominent member was right before her eyes, making it difficult for her to ignore it.
• Such a posture and such an angle… Honestly, it's a bit intoxicating. Bella looked up and met the man's teasing gaze. Her red lips parted, and she mocked, "Are you that thirsty, Mr. Fowler? Don't tell me you have yet to alleviate your urges and want to continue flirting with me after doing it with me a few times?"
• Aaron didn't restrain himself in the slightest upon hearing this. Instead, he lowered his head and leaned closer to her. Their lips were just a few millimeters away from each other, so they would kiss if either one of them leaned forward even a little.
• Bella didn't move, and neither did Aaron. Curving his lips into a smile, he said with a chuckle, "Nel, you're still prickly like before."
• "Tsk!" Bella raised her charming eyebrows while caring nothing about the man's words. "I didn't expect you to be such a hopeless romantic. Well, this makes me curious about the Nel lady that you keep talking about."
• "Yeah, just go on pretending." Aaron slipped his legs into his pants. The instant he zipped up his pants, he concealed his temptingly naked body. However, his pants looked baggy on him, and his attractive abs and beautiful Adonis belt made him look seductively gorgeous in a different way.
• Bella withdrew her gaze, looked down, and buttoned up her shirt with a frown. The savage man had torn off two of her shirt buttons, so she had no choice but to give up on the two topmost buttons and started from the third one, thus revealing her charming cleavage.
• Unwilling to admit defeat, they refused to budge until Aaron pulled her into his arms and lowered his head to kiss her swollen lips.
• Bella put up her hands and pushed him, but he wouldn't move an inch.
• The man's overbearing and overwhelming kiss was about to break through her defenses.
• The instant he forced his tongue into her mouth, she knitted her brows and bit into it.
• "Hiss…" Aaron let go of her lips in pain before glaring at her in disbelief. "Are you a dog or something?"
• "No, I'm a worm." Bella put on her skirt with a beautiful smile while winking at him. "Haven't you heard of the saying 'even a worm will turn'?" Immediately after, she headed for the door and went out, unwilling to give the man any more openings. She put up her hair while looking back at the man in the break room. "Mr. Fowler, are we still gonna negotiate the contract? I'm in a hurry."
• Aaron was silent for a moment. "...Absolutely!" He stepped out of the break room, looking at her with a sinister smile. "How can I let go of such an opportunity to bind you to me openly?" Placing his hands on the armrest of his chair, he bent over and looked her in the eye. "I let you run away from me four years ago. This time, I'll have you stay with me even if you're reduced to ashes!"
• "Wow, Mr. Fowler, I know you're angry with your ex, but don't take it out on me," Bella replied with a sneer. "I'm still young, so don't curse me."
• "Nelly, you once left me. Why did you come back?"
• Bella replied, "I told you that I'm Bella Talley, not Nelly. Mr. Fowler, if you got me here only for the purpose of sleeping with me and treating me as a substitute for someone else, I'm sorry but I'm not gonna entertain you!" With that, she shoved him away and walked outside.
• But the man grabbed her wrist and stopped her. She didn't look back.
• Subsequently, Aaron picked up the agreement from his desk and handed it to her. "Sign it!" he said in a deep voice that sounded so cold as though it were emotionless, yet it had an unnoticeable hint of resignation to it.
