However, Adam held Celine tightly, pressing her body against his. The thin layer of clothing between them did nothing to hide the heat building between them.
In a low, hoarse voice, he said, "Celine, don't move!"
Celine immediately stiffened. She could already feel the physical change in his body.
Her delicate face flushed scarlet. "Mr. Alvarez, what are you doing?"
Adam said honestly, "I'm not doing anything! Celine, I'm a normal man. I've been single for three years, and now you're standing here, looking like this! It's only natural I'd have some physiological reaction!"
Celine was blushing furiously and squirmed more. "Let me go!"
Adam warned, "If you move again, I might actually do something!"
Celine had no choice but to stop.
Adam reached up and gently held her chin, then lowered his head to give her a soft kiss on the lips.
Celine immediately pushed him away. "Mr. Alvarez, we agreed to stay out of each other's business. If you try anything again—I'm not staying here tonight!"
Faced with her threat, Adam could only release her. "Fine. I won't touch you. Go take your shower."
Celine quickly stepped away, putting as much distance between them as possible.
Just then, a series of knocks sounded at the door.
Leo's voice came from outside. "Mr. Alvarez, the ladies' toiletries have arrived."
Adam opened the door, took the shopping bag from Leo, and dismissed him. "That'll be all."
"Yes, sir."
Adam closed the door and handed the bag to Celine. "Your toiletries."

The readers' comments on the novel: The Divorce Prescription (Celina and Adam)
Can’t wait for when Nigel will discover Celine is his child...
I was enjoying Celine being a formidable woman until the author put her abuser back in her way to make it seem she is weak willed with no physical control. This saddens me....
Regardless of how "sorry" the abusive man is. His regret is his own burden to carry....
When a woman divorces a man because he ill treated her, authors of these books, should stop making a women look desperate to go back with the abusive man. The real world is not like that. Many many women value themselves too much to return to their abusers....
Please this story is going round in circles……this writer🤦🏽♀️🤦🏽♀️🤦🏽♀️...
After 3 years….these two are still dumb! Writer please hurry up...
What a way for both Hayden and Lucy to go...
I'm so invested with this novel. Both Declan-Hailey and Celine-Adam's story. But, Declan and Hailey gives me more heartache. I thought they would get their happy ending after what Declan have been through. But just like what others said, maybe the author is very sad that's why she don't want her characters to be happy. 😭 Ewan is so evil...
This writer is very sad! Why should Ewan come back to hurt Declan!...
So let’s move to Celina and Adam...
