Yvonne hesitated for a moment. “How much?”

“Name your price. Or you can just ask for me.” Marico arched an eyebrow, his earlier sternness melting into a mischievous warmth.

Marico’s face instantly darkened, and he refused without hesitation. “No way!”

His wife sleeping with the dog? Then who was he supposed to sleep with?
