Aspen Savage was doing everything he could to coax Emma Tremont to run away with him.
He initially mentioned elopement, which scared Emma, but now he had become more tactful, only suggesting that they go out and have some fun to relax.
Talking in such a manner increased the chances that Emma would agree.
Anyway… Declan Darcy wouldn't know the details, and all he would see was that Emma had agreed to go with Aspen.
Having said his piece, Aspen waited for Emma's response.
He looked at her and inadvertently his gaze fell on her neck, causing his face to suddenly change.
Was that… a love bite?
If he was not mistaken, that was indeed a love bite.
Emma's body bore such an intimate mark, which meant… she and Declan Darcy had already slept together?
Aspen wanted to push her away immediately.
This woman, when she had been with him, neither sweet words nor ugly ones had been enough to make her agree to have a relationship with him. But now, how long had she been with Declan Darcy?
