Elaine's words surprised Asher. Even though he could roughly guess her intention based on the time she came to his room and the way she was dressed, he still gave her the benefit of the doubt.
Still, Elaine disappointed him.
Did she think he wouldn't dare to chase her out?
If she herself didn't treat her dignity as something precious, don't blame him for being ruthless.
Narrowing his eyes, Asher's tone sharpened, threat underlying his words, "You want me to sleep with you, doesn't it? Have you thought it through?"
Without hesitation, Elaine nodded a few times. She dismissed the hint of menace in Asher's voice.
Lifting up her hands, Elaine touched the thin strap of her nightgown. Her action exposed more of her neckline and chest. A red blush tinted her cheeks as she kept smiling sweetly at Asher.
