章 500: Territorial like a wolf

«Women? How do you even know them?» Lara said, crossing her arms.

It was Nate's turn to melt. Jealous? Had he ever seen her like that?

True, she hadn't had any reason before. But hearing her tone with his ears was heavenly. She wanted him all to herself and would be unhappy to hear he knew other women!

Just like a she-wolf.

Nate's lower lips trembled when he realised he needed to find a reply. He couldn't let her misunderstand, even if he liked being treated like that. However, even the thought of exploiting that situation to his advantage hurt his heart and body. Making Lara believe he had women surrounding him would have been terrible. And he couldn't think of making her suffer.

«I... I just know them,» he said. «Most of them are wives from the people I talk to at these parties. Some work in the same industry. Nothing more than that, I swear!»

«Nothing more?»

«No. I only think of you.»
