After the CEO Divorced Me, He Wants Me Back (Aveline and Lucas)

"You really are pushing your luck," Aaron muttered against her lips, his hand gripping her waist as if he wanted to pin her down on the dining table right then and there. Selena's breath was uneven, and it took a moment after he released her for her to catch her breath.

"So, does that mean you agree?" she asked, still a bit breathless.

Aaron lazily curled his lips into a smile. "Alright, girlfriend."

Selena smiled back, getting up from his lap and settling back into the seat across from him. She pushed her plate of steak towards him and said, "Cut this for me."

Her spoiled demeanor made Aaron's heart itch. His Adam's apple bobbed again.

He had almost no experience with relationships, while she acted like a seasoned expert. It only made him feel more frustrated. If he didn't know that her first time had been with him, he might have felt even more conflicted right now. Selena watched him cut the steak, amusement dancing in her eyes. The recent kiss had smudged her lipstick a little, making her lips look all the more enticing, tempting anyone to wipe it away.This belongs to NôvelDrama.Org.

As Aaron sliced the steak, he remarked, "You're the first woman who's dared to order me around."

Selena raised an eyebrow, propping her chin on her hand. "How can it be an order when a boyfriend does something for his girlfriend?"

Aaron glanced at her, then placed the neatly cut steak in front of her.

Selena picked up a piece with her fork and brought it to his lips. "Here, for your hard work."

Aaron's eyes flickered for a moment before he opened his mouth and ate it.

For some reason, the steak tasted especially good.

Selena continued to eat in small bites, occasionally glancing out at the riverside view. The night shrouded the city, a ferry glided slowly across the river, and the lights were bright and captivating a picturesque scene. Aaron said, "Why don't you stay at my place tonight?"

Selena shook her head at his suggestion. "Not tonight, maybe tomorrow."

She didn't reject him too harshly-after all, they only had three months. She didn't mind staying with him.

After all, his skills were improving each time, and she rather enjoyed it.

Aaron's brows furrowed slightly as he looked at her. "Selena, you better not play games with me."

Selena laughed at his comment. "What games could I possibly play with you? We are, after all, dating." Halfway through her sentence, Selena paused, her gaze at him carrying a hint of something inscrutable. This man...

He probably really hadn't been in a proper relationship before.

Thinking about his previous lackluster attempts, she found it almost amusing.

Realizing this, a flicker of delight crossed her heart, even though she wasn't entirely sure why.

"What's with that expression?" Aaron asked, frowning.

Selena shook her head. "Nothing. I was just thinking that you don't have to be like this. I'll keep my word."

Aaron stared at her for a moment before deciding to drop the subject.

After finishing their meal, the two of them boarded the ferry.

With a single command from Aaron, the ferry was cleared out once again.

Selena stood on the deck, the breeze tousling her Kair and fluttering the hem of her red dress, which accentuated her slender figure. As she turned her head, she looked stunningly beautiful, an allure that seemed to come effortlessly.

Aaron walked over, wrapping his arm around her waist, and kissed her.

Selena hooked her arms around his neck, responding to his kiss. Their breaths mingled, hot and intense, pushing away the chill in the air.

"Ave, why are you still up?" Selena asked as she walked over, a hint of curiosity in her voice.
