Taming The Villainess

The villains are back together and the flames have never been stronger. _ He was the plague she should have stayed away from, but she fell for his charm. When their wrong decisions caught up to them, he left. And just when she thought she had moved on, he is back—in her workplace and in her life, with no intention of ever leaving. His presence makes her think of things that should never cross her mind, but that is nothing compared to him trapping her against the wall. She looked up go him in frustration. "Dr. Aubert, get a hold of yourself. What do you think you're doing?" He held her chin up, forcing her to meet his gaze as he traced her lips with his thumb. "Picking up where we left off." .... Carlos didn't think he would ever let a woman hold any kind of power over him until he met her—the feisty, sexy Villainess who made his heart race with just a smile. And when he had to choose between her and himself, he made the wrong choice. He is back, stronger than ever, ready to protect the one person he cares about and win her love.

Chapter 50

"What about your job?" He raised the question she had asked herself more times than she could count the night before. 

She didn't want to give him something to use to convince her to stay so she pretended it didn't matter much. "I think I've saved more than enough lives to make up for the ones I destroyed. I should go into early retirement and enjoy the rest of my life with my mother and several pets."

He treated her entire statement as a joke. "Retirement? You're not even thirty!" 

"That's the whole point, right? How can it be called 'early retirement' if I'm not much younger than I should be?" She ate a piece of her bacon to avoid having to answer his questions, but that only lasted a moment. 

"Are you sure this is what you want?" 

Even if it was not what she wanted, it wouldn't be his responsibility to help her get what she wanted. She nodded. "I'll be fine."
