Cross My Tigress Face the Wrath (Stella) novel Chapter 661

Eventually, the Schultz family’s gathering didn’t wind down until almost three in the morning. The house was still buzzing with tension when Yvonne finally left.

Everyone in the Schultz family looked absolutely wrecked, like they’d just eaten something rotten. You’d think they’d been dealing with a battalion, not just one woman.
