The Scorned Heiress: No More Mercy novel Chapter 758

His words make the rigid heat pressing against her even more undeniable. She gasps, her face burning so hot it feels like it might bleed. The air around them crackles with thick, seductive tension.

But a second later, she regains her composure. Her beautiful eyes dart around, flashing with a sly glint. She pats his chest calmly.

"Don't get your hopes up. It's my time of the month."

Her words hit like a bucket of ice water, instantly extinguishing the roaring fire in his veins.

"Fine. We have plenty of time," he sighs, tapping her nose affectionately.

"You're moving out tomorrow! Back to your own place!" Tara glares at him, slipping out of his scorching embrace and fleeing like a startled cat.

Watching her run frantically into her bedroom, Danny chuckles softly. So cute.

He stands up, straightens his slightly wrinkled shirt, and follows her, fully intending to sleep in her bed. Just as he reaches the doorway, a pillow and a blanket fly out, hitting him squarely in the chest.

"You're sleeping in the guest room!"

The door shuts, followed by the definitive click of the lock.

Danny clinks his coffee mug against Coen's glass. "My girlfriend's family business needs management. I already sent you the files. I know you won't refuse."

He knows Coen craves a challenge. He hates walking into a company that already runs perfectly—if he wanted that, he would have joined Danny's corporation years ago. Dennis Group's current chaos, endless reshuffling, and internal messes offer the perfect battlefield.

"You're right. It sounds highly challenging," Coen smiles, studying the man across the table. Taking a chaotic corporate mess, tearing it down, and rebuilding it from the ground up is exactly his kind of thrill. It suits him perfectly.

"Looks like Miss Dennis trained you well. Swapping alcohol for coffee?" Coen comments, genuinely surprised. They've been friends since college and collaborated on projects over the years. Coen knows Danny is wild, ruthless, and absolutely refuses to be tamed by anyone.
