Deanna glared at him.

“If you turn me down, I will tell my brother—"

“Tell him what? That I took advantage of you?"

Keegan leaned in close, his gaze falling on her rosy lips, a faint smirk dancing on his face.

The proximity of his handsome visage triggered Deanna's memory of their kiss.

His lips were so soft!

Her heart pounded like a drum in her chest, the rhythm echoing in her ears.

Deanna rolled her eyes and retreated a couple of steps.

“Keegan, I'm not some child who tattles to her parents at every turn.

If you dare cross the line again, I'11 kill you."

She glanced towards his lower body, mimicking a cutting motion with her hands.

Keegan was left speechless.

Why had Brian thrust this wildcat onto him?

Was this payback?

Had he done something to upset him and Rosalynn?

As noon approached, Rosalynn finished translating the document.

Brian had a business engagement and invited her to join him, but she declined.

Brian arched an eyebrow.

“Darling, aren't you supposed to be keeping an eye on me?"

“I trust you've got a handle on things," Rosalynn responded, a serene look on her face.

Brian pulled her closer, his hand encircling her waist as he gently squeezed her smooth cheek.

"You haven't exactly met all my needs, love."
