**Chapter 176: I Didn\u2019t Mean Right Now**<\/p>\n
**Deanna\u2019s POV:**<\/p>\n
A flicker ignited within me, a spark of realization that changed everything.<\/p>\n
It dawned on me that Latis was merely dissecting the situation from a business standpoint, breaking it down with a cold, analytical precision.<\/p>\n
Just then, Luis\u2019s teasing voice floated through the car, laced with that familiar lazy charm. \u201cSo if you want my help, you\u2019ll have to pay me some serious interest.\u201d<\/p>\n
My lashes fluttered in surprise, a rush of emotions flooding through me.<\/p>\n
Serious interest?<\/p>\n
With the Mooncrown Pack\u2019s vast resources and wealth, there was no one in Sudland who could rival his financial standing.<\/p>\n
And here I was, practically broke.<\/p>\n
All I had to offer was\u2026 myself.<\/p>\n
I lowered my gaze, biting my lip as I hesitated, the words tumbling out in a whisper, \u201cTonight I\u2019ll\u2026 I\u2019ll satisfy you.\u201d<\/p>\n
Luis continued driving, but the moment those words left my mouth, he turned to me with a devilish grin that sent my heart racing. \u201cSatisfy me with what, exactly?\u201d<\/p>\n
Heat rushed to my cheeks, a mix of annoyance and embarrassment flooding my senses. \u201cYou know exactly what I mean! Why are you acting so clueless?\u201d<\/p>\n
Luis erupted in laughter, the sound rich and playful. \u201cDeanna, why are you blushing like that, huh?\u201d<\/p>\n
The courage I had mustered moments ago evaporated under his teasing gaze, leaving me feeling vulnerable and exposed. \u201cForget it,\u201d I snapped, trying to regain some semblance of control.<\/p>\n
\u201cI\u2019ll give you another deal,\u201d he said, his tone shifting as he maneuvered the car sharply, veering into a deserted side street.<\/p>\n
Before I could fully comprehend what was happening, he slammed the brakes, bringing the vehicle to a halt in a secluded corner.<\/p>\n
In an instant, he reached over, effortlessly pulling me from the passenger seat and onto his lap.<\/p>\n
I found myself straddling him, my legs spread wide, trapped in a position with no escape.<\/p>\n
His gaze was intense, burning into me with an unwavering hunger. \u201cYou get me all worked up, and then you tell me to forget it? Deanna, you really are wicked.\u201d<\/p>\n
Seated on his lap, I could feel the hard, defined muscles beneath me, a palpable reminder of his strength.<\/p>\n
Swallowing hard, I made one last desperate attempt. \u201cCan we just\u2026 wait till we get home\u2026?\u201d<\/p>\n
Luis sighed dramatically, as if the very idea was laughable. \u201cI can\u2019t wait.\u201d<\/p>\n
\u201cThere are things we need to do at home, but right now, there\u2019s something urgent to take care of right here. Deanna, can\u2019t you feel it? It\u2019s waiting for you.\u201d<\/p>\n
Oh my God!<\/p>\n
This man was a force of nature, dangerously irresistible.<\/p>\n
My lips felt parched, and my heart raced so fast I could barely form coherent thoughts.<\/p>\n
I wanted to say no, to push him away and regain control, but Luis captured my hands, pressing them firmly against his chest.<\/p>\n
His strikingly handsome face drew closer, his lips teasingly brushing against mine before trailing down to my earlobe, his tongue dancing there.<\/p>\n
He knew every one of my weak spots, every sensitive nerve that he could exploit.<\/p>\n
A shiver coursed down my spine, an electric thrill that shot straight to my core, leaving me breathless and yearning.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"template":"","class_list":["post-2259","chapter","type-chapter","status-publish","hentry"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"http:\/\/icuow.top\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/chapter\/2259","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"http:\/\/icuow.top\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/chapter"}],"about":[{"href":"http:\/\/icuow.top\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/chapter"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"http:\/\/icuow.top\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=2259"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
