Never Mistake a Queen for a Lapdog novel Chapter 1268

Half-skeptical, Claire walked back into the sprawling closet and pulled out a few items at random.

Without exception, every single piece was her exact size.

Not only that, but they were from her favorite luxury brands, all straight out of the latest season's collections.

He hadn't stopped at outerwear, either. An entire drawer was meticulously stocked with brand-new, perfectly sized lingerie.

"Pervert!" Claire muttered under her breath.

If she had called him that to his face, he probably would have puffed his chest out with pride. He'd take it as a compliment!

Claire opened another wardrobe door—the only one that wasn't transparent glass. She figured it just held regular coats or formal wear.

She was wrong.

It was packed edge-to-edge with Lingerie and sexy sleepwear. The absolute dirtiest, most scandalous pieces imaginable!

That bastard! He really wasn't holding back on his own fantasies!

Too embarrassed to keep looking, Claire slammed the door shut, her ears burning furiously. She frantically fanned her flushed face, mentally cursing him.

The man was hundreds of miles away, and he was still managing to drive her crazy.

Claire finally picked out an outfit, changed, and prepared to leave.

After all, this was Wilbur's house. She had no intention of staying.

He hadn't explicitly asked her to move in, though he had texted her the front door passcode.

Honestly, even if he had asked her to stay, she would have refused.

Claire was very clear on where they stood.

This was a distraction. A mutual cure for loneliness. Nothing more.

They were two consenting adults having fun. There was absolutely no need to slap a serious label on it. Keeping it casual and burden-free made it so much easier.

It was precisely why she had hidden the fact that she was divorced. It was her escape hatch. If things ever got too complicated, she could always use her marriage as an excuse to pull the ripcord and run.

After surviving one disastrous, soul-crushing relationship, she had zero interest in gambling on love again.

But she couldn't deny that being with Wilbur was exhilarating. Both in and out of bed, he made her feel incredible.
