Jarrod’s look turned frosty. “What’s the issue?”
Nicole leaned casually against the elevator wall, glancing at him.
“Lost interest.”
Jarrod’s gaze was meaningful, his voice soft. “Then how about we head to your room, try out that bed, and find out who can bring you to the peak?”
Nicole’s expression turned into a scowl as she looked at him. “You’ve lost your mind!”

Jarrod responded with a grin, “Madly, but only for you.”
A gentle smile flickered in Nicole’s eyes. Her actions since she came back were all about testing him, to find out if he still had feelings for her. It appeared that her charm was not lost on him, or maybe it was something deeper.
Yet, these things seemed minor. What really counted was his companies and assets. He might not be so easy to convince.
Nicole concluded with a tinge of sorrow that perhaps it was only her figure he was drawn to. When it came down to matters of importance, Jarrod’s more unyielding side came to the forefront. With that in mind, she realizes the full extent of his feelings toward her.
Nicole playfully lifted a finger, tilting his chin upwards. “Keep this in mind, Jarrod Schultz, whether or not I find joy in this has nothing to do with you. You barely even registered as a minor lover.”
“Nothing to do with me?” Jarrod allowed those words to escape his lips before acting further. Without waiting for her response, he reached for the buttons on her chest. “Let’s establish some connection then.”
Following this, he brought the elevator to a stop. A button was undone swiftly.
A shiver coursed through Nicole. Even if the elevator came to a stop, cameras were still watching. She gripped Jarrod’s arm tightly, her face pale and cold. “How dare you!”
Jarrod laughed even harder, his laughter taking on a mischievous tone.
He lowered his head, gently pressing his forehead against hers in a teasing manner. “Nicole, have you forgotten who I am?”
He tilted his head slightly, a playful smirk on his face. “If it’s something I desire, there’s no barrier I wouldn’t cross.”

While talking, his hand continued to explore, moving further without hesitation. He seemed unwavering in his intentions.
Nicole’s body tensed from the tingling sensation, her anger boiling to the point where she could only respond with laughter. Then, she reached out her slim fingers and pinched his chin. “I said no, Jarrod. Are you going to make me?”
Jarrod’s deep, dark eyes met Nicole’s bright blue ones. Noticing the disdain and chill in her gaze, he hesitated for a brief moment.
She gently tapped his cheek. “Try anything, and I won’t hesitate to call the cops on you.”
Just when Nicole was sure he would argue, he surprisingly chose to withdraw. His voice was even. “You think you’re clever, playing games with me.”
It was a declaration, not a question.
Nicole gazed up at Jarrod, her lips curling into a taunting smile.
“And what if I am? Maybe it’s time you stopped playing games too.”
