Chapter 56
Thea was furious. She glared at the phone, ready to hang up. Unfortunately, Nicolas had a firm grip on her hand.
Noticing her reluctance, Nicolas‘ eyes glinted with mischief. Then he pulled her into his embrace and bit her collarbone. playfully as a punishment.
i was still on
Thea gasped at his sudden action and closed her mouth quickly, realizing the call was still on
To her surprise, Nicolas didn’t stop there. He grabbed her chin and tilted her face up, forcing her to look at him. Then, he began planting kisses along her pale neck.
Thea was so stunned she couldn’t breathe. Terrifying memories suged from the depths of her mind, causing her to tremble uncontrollably
Clenching her fists, Thea bit down hard to suppress any sound. But eventually, she couldn’t take it anymore and pushed Nicolas away.
