Dear Ex-wife, Marry Me novel Chapter 12

Kurt was right behind her, no more than a meter away, and his bodyguard was outside.

Ian was dressed in a black tracksuit, his left hand tucked in his pocket. He was tall and long-legged, every move revealing the fluid and upright lines of his body.

He was standing at the entrance of a lounge not far away, about to go in.

Kurt licked his lips, boldly staring at her back, and then whispered, "Your husband's here, aren't you gonna say hi?"

Maja took a deep breath, no time to hesitate, and quickly walked over.

Ian had just put his hand on the door handle and opened a crack when he heard footsteps behind him, followed by the sweet and soft body of a woman.

He didn't have time to refuse, and with a bit of finesse, the woman got them both into the lounge.

Ian frowned, "Out."

Quick as a flash, Maja locked the door and leaned against it, looking at him earnestly, "Mr. Raymond, I don't mean to bother you, can I hide out here?"

The man didn't speak, his gaze falling on her knee.

Maja followed his gaze and noticed the red mark on her knee was more pronounced because of the hot steam.

"This is from when I bumped it in the car…" She trailed off, feeling embarrassed, her face flushing uncontrollably, somewhat at a loss.

He didn't ask about this. Why did she explain!

"What are you doing here?" Ian looked down at her from his height.

"For work."

The air grew quiet.

Ian gave her a deep look, his expression complex, before turning and heading into the bathroom without throwing her out.

Hearing the sound of water from the bathroom, Maja averted her gaze, but from the corner of her eye, she could see the reflected figure on the frosted glass. The man's body was lean, water running down his sturdy chest, disappearing into hidden places--

Maja knew well the warmth and strength beneath that skin. She closed her eyes and turned away.

Kurt had already left. The crisis was averted, and Maja had no intention of staying there any longer.
