After Betrayal - I Married a Handsome Tycoon-Chapter 161: Her First Time Taking the Initiative

Chapter 161: Chapter 161: Her First Time Taking the Initiative

Moira Sloan’s smile was faint and lovely, but her eyes held a dangerous glint.

Their eyes met. Connor Quinn remained silent under her scrutiny.

Just when Moira Sloan thought he would stay silent forever, he spoke in a low voice, "I did."

Moira Sloan raised an eyebrow. "Hmm?"

"Do you think I’m capable of that?"

Moira Sloan chuckled, instantly relieved.

’Right. Is Connor Quinn even capable of that?’

’Of course not.’

’A tattoo artist from a small town, orchestrating the breakup of the CEO of the prestigious Jennings Group.’

’It sounded like a joke no matter how you looked at it.’

’A particularly ridiculous one, at that.’

’Even though he’s Shane Jennings’s cousin, judging by the Jennings Family’s attitude toward him... to be honest, I probably have more say in that family than he does.’

Worried he might be reading too much into it, Moira Sloan leaned in and brushed a kiss against his lips. "I wasn’t doubting you," she cooed.

"Mm," Connor Quinn acknowledged.

After the jab, she offered a bit of sweetness. "So, are you mad?"

Then, she added in a coquettish tone, "Boss Quinn, would you get angry at your girlfriend?"

’The girl in his arms was so delicate and adorable.’

’She was being mischievous, for sure.’

’But then she asks you so sweetly, ’Would you get angry at your girlfriend?’’

’Even if he really had been angry, it would have all vanished in that instant.’

Moira Sloan knew how to read the mood. She seized the opportunity, pressing against Connor Quinn and demanding kisses. Her pliant hand slipped under the hem of his shirt. Her teeth grazed his lower lip, not enough to hurt, but adding a spark of sensuality. "Connor Quinn," she breathed, "I’m crazy about you."

"What part?" Connor Quinn asked, his voice raspy.

Moira Sloan blinked. "Guess."

"My body," Connor Quinn stated.

Moira Sloan chuckled out loud, burrowing into his arms, bringing them even closer.

She didn’t deny it.

Because it was the truth.

In the end, things inevitably led to them resolving all their differences in bed.

After they were done, Moira Sloan, slick with sweat, draped herself over Connor Quinn and bit down on his shoulder.

"I’m exhausted."

Connor Quinn’s large hand stroked her back. "I didn’t do anything."

Moira Sloan whined, "You’re right, you didn’t do anything. I did all the work."

Connor Quinn let out a low chuckle, turning his head to kiss her cheek. "It was a great experience."

Moira Sloan was too tired to talk. "Uh-huh."

This was the first time Moira Sloan had taken the lead, and her back was aching and her legs felt like jelly.

’She secretly swore to herself that this was the first and absolutely the last time.’

’Pleasure was hard work too.’

’It was better to just enjoy it. Making her do all the work? Not happening.’

「The next day.」

Now that she had terminated her contract with Finn Fuller, a lot of things on her plate were suddenly gone.

After eating breakfast at the hotel, Moira Sloan and Connor Quinn went to the airport to return to Everwood.

On the way, Finn Fuller sent her countless messages and made countless calls from different numbers.

Each time, Moira Sloan would glance at the screen before silently adding the number to her block list.

As she was blocking yet another number, she looked up and met Connor Quinn’s curious gaze.

A smile bloomed on Moira Sloan’s face. "Want to know who that was?"

"Can I ask?"

Moira Sloan’s red lips parted, and she uttered a single word: "Traitor."

Connor Quinn raised an eyebrow. "Hmm?"

"It’s too complicated. I’ll tell you about it later, when I get the chance," Moira said.

"Alright," Connor Quinn said, his voice even.

After returning to Everwood from Atheria, their relationship underwent a substantial change, and their interactions became more blatant.

For example, Moira would no longer get out of the car halfway home, and she stopped trying to avoid suspicion when she was ordering Connor around.

The first person to notice something was off was Shauna Duane.

One day, Moira returned from the tattoo shop next door carrying a small, handmade cake. Shauna rested her chin on her hand and watched her, her expression a mix of seriousness and scrutiny. "Something’s up with you."

Moira arched an eyebrow. "How so?" 𝑓𝘳𝑒𝑒𝓌𝘦𝘣𝘯ℴ𝑣𝘦𝑙.𝘤𝑜𝑚

As she spoke, Moira walked to the lounge chair in front of the floor-to-ceiling window, sat down, and unwrapped the small cake, taking delicate bites.

"Ever since you got back from Atheria," Shauna said, "you’ve been going over to the shop next door a lot more."

Moira looked up, her expression a bewitching mix of innocence and allure. "I missed my boyfriend. Can’t I go see him?"

Shauna’s eyes widened in astonishment. "What boyfriend?"

"Connor Quinn," Moira said. "He’s my boyfriend."

Shauna clicked her tongue in disbelief. "Weren’t you two just messing around?"

Moira blinked, her expression the epitome of pure seduction, and began to lecture in a deadpan voice, "Shauna, you’re so young. How could you think that way? Any relationship that doesn’t have love as its goal is just playing games."

Shauna was speechless.

"I’m a responsible person," Moira added.

Shauna remained speechless.

At noon, the two went to the tattoo shop to scrounge a meal. After entering, Moira Sloan, in her high heels, went straight to the kitchen.

The few young guys, led by Philip, looked at each other in confusion.

"Hey, you guys notice? Something seems off between the Boss Lady and Connor."

"It kinda looks like they’re dating."

"No way. The Boss Lady and Connor... they don’t seem like they’re from the same world at all."

Zachary Curran’s jaw tensed. He frowned and said, "Don’t spread rumors. The Boss Lady has a boyfriend. It’s Boss Lawson from the tavern."

Philip was stunned. "Huh? Since when?"

Shauna glanced up at the two of them and couldn’t help but roll her eyes. ’Some people’s brains really are just there to make them taller,’ she thought.
