Deanna\u2019s POV:<\/p>\n
I paused, realizing Luis had a point.<\/p>\n
Still, he\u2019d made me a promise\u2013why pull back halfway now?<\/p>\n
I honestly couldn\u2019t figure out what was going through his head.<\/p>\n
I took a breath and walked closer, stopping just about a foot away.<\/p>\n
Even sitting down, Luis carried a natural authority, like he was born to run the show.<\/p>\n

I pressed my lips together and said carefully, \u201cI don\u2019t buy that you\u2019re so small\u2013minded. You already agreed to put in eight billion, so you wouldn\u2019t break your word.\u201d<\/p>\n
\u201cMs. Wiley, wrong again. I am that small\u2013minded.\u201d<\/p>\n
He smirked, lips curling with a dangerous edge.<\/p>\n
\u201cOh, wait\u2013I shouldn\u2019t call you Ms. Wiley. I should call you Arthur\u2019s fianc\u00e9e. After all, you two even tried on wedding dresses.\u201d<\/p>\n
My heart skipped.<\/p>\n
How the hell did Luis know I tried on those dresses?<\/p>\n
Was he there that day?<\/p>\n
Did he get the wrong idea\u2013that I\u2019d promised to dump Jake but didn\u2019t? Is that why he\u2019s holding back the rest of the investment?<\/p>\n
I quickly spoke up. \u201cI can explain\u2013that day was an accident.\u201d<\/p>\n
\u201cAn accident?\u201d<\/p>\n
His voice dripped with sarcasm. \u201cDon\u2019t tell me somebody dragged you into a wedding gown against your will?\u201d<\/p>\n
I couldn\u2019t lie.<\/p>\n
I had agreed to try it on that day, but it was only to get back at Jake.<\/p>\n
So I admitted, \u201cNo one forced me.\u201d<\/p>\n
The air in the office seemed to chill instantly.<\/p>\n
A shiver crept up my spine, so I quickly added, \u201cBut it\u2019s not what you\u2019re thinking! Jake and I are over. I don\u2019t go back on my word.\u201d<\/p>\n
Luis suddenly unfolded his legs and stood up.<\/p>\n
He was a head taller, and when he stepped right in front of me, his shadow covered me completely.<\/p>\n
Before I could even respond, his hand reached out\u2013cold fingers lightly pinching my chin, his index finger lifting my gaze to meet<\/p>\n
his.<\/p>\n

His touch was light, but the tension in the air made my heart pound.<\/p>\n
\u201cNot what I think, huh?\u201d<\/p>\n

\u201cJake just tried sending me an invite to your ceremony. Maybe you\u2019ll even have a baby with him in a few days. Deanna, are you really that good at faking it?\u201d<\/p>\n
We were way too close. His scent\u2013woodsy with a trace of tobacco\u2013wrapped around me, dizzying and strangely familiar. For a second, I almost drifted.<\/p>\n
But the word baby jolted me back.<\/p>\n
A baby in a few days? Impossible.<\/p>\n
And honestly, who\u2019d want to have a baby with someone like Jake, anyway?.<\/p>\n
I looked into Luis\u2018 stormy eyes and asked quietly, \u201cAre you jealous?\u201d<\/p>\n
\u201cJealous?\u201d He gave a cold laugh.<\/p>\n
\u201cNo one\u2019s ever put me in the role of the other guy before. You\u2019re the first. So tell me\u2013how should I feel?\u201d<\/p>\n
My chest tightened. I\u2019d never dare make the alpha of the Mooncrown Pack the side guy.<\/p>\n
But what if he really cut off the last four billion because of this mess?<\/p>\n
I took a deep breath and softened my tone, trying to calm him down. \u201cYou\u2019re not the other guy.\u201d<\/p>\n
I tried to step back for some space.<\/p>\n
But before I could get away, his large hand snaked around my waist, gripping me so firmly I couldn\u2019t pull loose. He drew me straight into his embrace.<\/p>\n
I went stiff, my hands slick with nervous sweat.<\/p>\n
This was his office\u2013what if someone walked in?<\/p>\n
Luis didn\u2019t let go. His stare pinned me as he asked, \u201cWhy?\u201d<\/p>\n
I tried to pull away, but his grip held firm. Knowing I couldn\u2019t win here, I shut my eyes and admitted, \u201cYou\u2019re my first.\u201d<\/p>\n
For a long moment, he just froze, staring at me in obvious shock.<\/p>\n
The sharp intensity of his gaze made my scalp tingle, and I felt awkward under it.<\/p>\n
Clearing my throat, I muttered, \u201cI ended things with Jake that day. So\u2026 that\u2019s why we accidentally ended up together. You\u2019re not the other guy.\u201d<\/p>\n
I\u2019d never sleep with another man while still in a relationship with Jake.<\/p>\n
Even if I\u2019d lost my mind.<\/p>\n
Luis suddenly smiled, his hand brushing lightly along my waist.<\/p>\n
