Chapter 2

Lucas came from a poor family, with only a grandmother at home.

He was working part-time while attending school.

Originally, he was just accompanying guests for drinks at Orchid Pavilion, but he didn't expect that I would want to keep him exclusively.

I even immediately bought an apartment for him in Apricot Gardens.

When I opened the door of the apartment and handed him the keys, his fingers curled slightly, seeming a bit overwhelmed. "Miss Carter, you really don't have to..."

I raised my finger and placed it on his lips, stopping his next words.

"This place is close to my company. You'll live here from now on."

Apricot Gardens was in the most central location of the city, with transportation hubs crisscrossing here. It was not only close to my company but also near his school.

An apartment like this was perfect for keeping a young beastman.

Occasionally coming over for a meal or a nap would be quite enjoyable.

I looked around; the furniture was all in place, it wouldn't be a hardship for him.

"There's a million dollars in this card," I took out a card from my bag and handed it to him. "I'm keeping you for a month first, probation period. If it doesn't work out, you're out."

He was probably inexperienced in the ways of the world. The moment he touched the card, his eyes widened, and even his wolf ears perked up.

The young man was innocent, unlike William's feigned innocence and romance back then. Lucas's youthful aura was stronger, even carrying a hint of naivety.

He couldn't come back to his senses for a long time. It wasn't until I coughed lightly that his bright gaze followed the sound and sought me out.

I leaned back casually on the sofa and asked:

"Shower, sleep together."

"Can you do it?"

The misty steam dampened Lucas's brow. I casually smeared foam on his rugged face, the delicate lather sliding into his dimples.

He responded with a shy smile.

It had been a long time since I'd encountered someone so pure. My mind wandered, and I hooked my finger on the belt of his trousers, gently tugging...

Firm, muscular flesh still dripping with water droplets was within arm's reach. At this close distance, I could even see the texture of his skin.

Lucas's Adam's apple bobbed up and down.

He leaned in, bringing his face closer.

So obedient.

I pinched his ear and whispered enticingly, "Let your tail out, let me touch it..."

Lucas obediently complied.

The fluffy wolf tail brushed against my palm with just the right pressure. As Lucas's moist kiss fell, the wolf tail also swayed gently.

Just as we were about to fall into the depths of passion amidst the intense kiss, the phone on the bedside table suddenly rang.

The screen flashed white light in the darkness, vibrating vigorously.

I picked up the phone with displeasure, seeing the caller: William Sanders.

The next second, I hung up and muted it without hesitation.

Lucas panted heavily above my head, clutching the bed sheets pitifully, "Miss Carter..."

I spoke to reassure him, "It's nothing, continue..."

After the tumultuous lovemaking, Lucas fell into a deep sleep in my arms.

I picked up my phone and got up.

By then, there were several more messages and missed calls in my phone, all from William.

I blocked him.

Jack Johnson's call came in at the right time: "Miss Carter, Colin Carter has returned to the country."

Oh, my useless cousin who always gets in Claire's way has finally returned.
