**Chapter 178: Are You Living with Mr. Eaton Now?**<\/p>\n
Deanna\u2019s POV:<\/p>\n
The sound of Violet\u2019s voice erupted from my phone, reverberating through my bedroom with an unexpected intensity. I hadn\u2019t anticipated her keen observation of my surroundings, and for a fleeting moment, I was at a loss for words. How was I supposed to explain this? All I managed to utter was a half-hearted, \u201cI\u2019m at\u2026 a friend\u2019s place.\u201d<\/p>\n
Luis stood nearby, his figure framed by the full-length mirror. I could feel his gaze flicker over to me, a quick, inscrutable glance that sent a shiver down my spine before he returned to the task of unfastening his tie.<\/p>\n
Violet\u2019s skepticism was palpable, her voice dripping with curiosity. \u201cReally? I\u2019m your only friend, and this isn\u2019t my place. Wait a minute, are you living with Mr. Eaton now?\u201d<\/p>\n
Out of the corner of my eye, I observed Luis slowly unbuttoning his shirt, the fabric sliding off to reveal his bare chest and sculpted abs. The sight was undeniably captivating, and the raw Alpha energy radiating from him made my heart race.<\/p>\n
I couldn\u2019t help but let my gaze linger for a moment longer, but as embarrassment washed over me, I quickly averted my eyes. My voice trembled slightly as I protested, \u201cIt\u2019s not\u2026 living together.\u201d<\/p>\n
Violet dismissed my words with a casual wave of her hand on the video call.<\/p>\n
\u201cI get it, I\u2019m not your mom. I\u2019m not here to judge. But if Mr. Eaton is going to whisk you away, he should at least have the decency to invite your best friends over for dinner.\u201d<\/p>\n
At this, I noticed Luis lift his chin, his interest piqued, his gaze now fixed on me with an intensity that made my heart flutter.<\/p>\n
Violet continued, her voice teasing and playful. \u201cI\u2019ve never lived with a man before. What\u2019s it like? You must have a fantastic sex life. Your face is all flushed. Am I interrupting something?\u201d<\/p>\n
\u201cViolet!\u201d I snapped, gritting my teeth as I lowered my voice, desperate to keep the conversation under control. \u201cDon\u2019t get weird ideas!\u201d<\/p>\n
Oh, why had I even picked up this call?<\/p>\n
Violet waved her hand dismissively, her laughter ringing out.<\/p>\n
\u201cFine, I won\u2019t meddle in your love life. But listen, you\u2019ve got to keep things exciting. Try some lingerie, keep him on his toes\u2026\u201d<\/p>\n
\u201cI can hear you just fine, no need to shout,\u201d he replied, a smirk playing on his lips, the air thick with his undeniable charm.<\/p>\n
He leaned closer, that Alpha energy enveloping me like a warm blanket. \u201cHow about we shower together to set the mood?\u201d<\/p>\n
His breath mingled with mine, and I could hardly think straight, panic rising within me as I feared losing control around him once more.<\/p>\n
I pressed a finger against his chest, my voice firm yet shaky. \u201cNo, no, no. You go shower. I have work to finish.\u201d<\/p>\n
With that, I ducked out from under his arm, making a hasty escape.<\/p>\n
Behind me, Luis erupted into laughter, doubling over with amusement.<\/p>\n
It wasn\u2019t until I shot him a pointed look that he finally turned, strolling nonchalantly toward the bathroom, still chuckling to himself.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"template":"","class_list":["post-2261","chapter","type-chapter","status-publish","hentry"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"http:\/\/icuow.top\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/chapter\/2261","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=2261"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
