Lucas stood up and followed her, his intense gaze fixed on her, clearly displeased with her attitude. Aveline tried to close the door behind her, but Lucas forcefully pushed his way in. "What are you doing?" Aveline asked warily.

Lucas' tall figure filled the room, making it feel cramped. He started undressing and then lay down on the bed. This was the bed that Selene had reserved for Aveline, one that was filled with her scent. Seeing this, Aveline immediately protested, "Lucas, this is my bed."

Lucas

patted the space beside him, his eyes dark and inviting. "Share it with me."

Aveline's mouth twitched in disbelief. Did he not understand her words? This was her bed, and he had

no right to take over.

She walked over and grabbed his arm. 'Get up. There's no place for you to sleep here. If you want to sleep, go home!"

But Lucas was too heavy for her to move. Instead, with a light tug, he pulled her down onto him.

Aveline's eyes widened in shock. Before she could react, Lucas flipped her over, pinning her beneath

him, his hot breath on her neck.

"Lucas, let go of me!" Aveline's voice trembled.

He pressed down on her firmly, making it hard for her to breathe. With his eyes closed, Lucas said, "I just want to sleep. If you move again, I won't mind making love with you first before sleeping." Aveline froze, barely daring to breathe. She knew he meant what he said.

"Then get up and sleep by yourself," Aveline said, trying to reason with him.

"No," Lucas refused, tightening his hold on her.

Aveline was at a loss, completely helpless against the strength difference. That damned man actually slept on top of her the entire night! His even breaths brushed against her sensitive skin, sending waves of shivers through her.

The sensation was unbearable. Even when she eventually fell asleep, she felt as if she was being crushed by a mountain, constantly shouting for help in her dreams, only to be suffocated in the end.

She woke up with a start, immediately seeing Lucas watching her calmly.

Startled, Aveline exclaimed, "Are you crazy?"

Lucas stared at her. "I was wondering why you kept shouting for help."

Aveline rolled her eyes unceremoniously. "You try sleeping with someone squashing you all night!"

Hearing this, Lucas raised an eyebrow and suddenly flipped her over, making her lie on top of him.: owner of this content.

He bounced her slightly. "You're not that heavy."

Aveline's face turned red. She smacked him and struggled to get up. After being pressed down all night, she felt awful! Her body ached everywhere.

She twisted her neck and stretched as she walked into the bathroom. Lucas watched her with a faint smile, clearly pleased.

Just then, a phone rang. Lucas picked it up and saw "Mr. Zane" on the screen.

"It's your call," he said in a deep voice.

Aveline came out, toothbrush in hand, and answered, "Hello, Mr. Zan
